Just letting everyone know that i sold my beloved R33 :)

I sold her to my mechanic for 9500 , she needed new sparks, coils , sunroof needed fixing , air con was broken and air bag/horn was f***ed so i think i did pretty good with that price lol ,

Its sad to finally let her go , she was a good little car who gave me many thrills and wow's.

I bought my dads car for replacment, Subaru Liberty GT , 2004 , i feel so old and mature now :rofl:

Ill try get some photos up tonight..

Cheers

Tim

Mate, I sold my turbo R33 last month and soon to buy a Corolla... the petrol war made me surrender.

Wait till the petrol hits 2 dollars + for PULP (which is about 6 months away)... you will consider selling your Liberty for a Yaris :domokun:

lol , True.. i CAN catch a train to work if im desperate. then 1 tank will last me 3 weeks.

hahaha damn. yes the skylines running costs and insurance premiums has made me wonder if I shall keep it either.

Out of curiosity, whats the goin price of 98RON fuel in your vicinity when you last fueled up?

I filled up today and it was $1.56/L for BP ultimate. I'd say it's fairly good considering the price of regular unleaded down south.

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
