Hi, I can't remember your nick, but you had a dark coloured R33 GTST with an Alpine TV and DVD player. My mate had the white Tommy Kaira R33, I was the one who closed your boot rather roughly. (sorry) Anyway you mentioned being able to get things cheaper off Yahoo Japan. He's interested in getting an Alpine TV like yours, (especially) an Apexi Power FC computer and possibly a FMIC. Is there a site that I could look at to get these items, or I think you said something about having a contact who could organise it? Thanks for your help.

yeah it's the bodykit that's different, Tommy Kiarara written everywhere inside.

This R32, was set on 16psi..but found out it was detinating, so have brought it back down to 14psi. Until it gets remapped. But yeah spins a bit for sure..

I better shut up about his car now, he'l tell me off for being a big mouth! ha.

The 33 Tommy Kaira Stang is talking about used to be owned by my b/f's brother who sold it to John a few months ago as he wanted to buy a house.

Tommy Kairas have the huge front and massive rear wing which Troy got rid of cos he said it resembled a shopping trolley. We both bought our cars from the same place in the same week! I wasn't sure on what to get as they had black and white 33 Tommys there at the time - but I settled for mine cos it had lower k's, was cleaner etc etc.

We reckon it definitely has a cam or hi flow or something cos it gets up and goes like no other 33 I've ever been in. Makes mine feel like a slug!!!

Iam the one with the R32 Tommy Kaira.It has a gtr gear box, vielside computer,full tommy bodykit including adjustable wing. Other things that have been added are tein adjustables,bigger turbo,aftermarket intercooler,electronic boost controll and the list goes on.I bought the car a few weeks ago and definetly have no regrets exept iam told that vielside computers cant be remapped

a while ago when i was skyline hunting, i saw what appeared to be a white r33 tommy kaira at redline motorsports - was asking something like

30k, but it wasnt my taste i.e bodykit. But if i had known its potential over gtst dammnn i would have bought it. btw it looked nice, Tommy kiara written all over it - interior and exterior, as someone mentioned.

Nozila - thats where it came from - he didn't pay anywhere near 30 for it though!

I considered buying it too but the kit wasn't exactly to my taste either...I opted for the boring M Spec instead. And the Tommy had heaps of stuff done to it when it came to Australia and I didn't particularly want a car that had been modded.

When it came here it had a huge FMIC and aftermarket computer, and all the goodies. They couldn't even get it to run on Aussie fuel so they had to remove the computer and they also removed the FMIC for some reason to try and get it to run.

Probably sold all of the gear from it to make a bit of extra cash!!

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂
