Looks really tough. Paint the Advans black and lower more I think!

lol unlikely to do either. I'm slowly getting used to the Advans (I've never really been a fan) and i find it difficult to get up and down driveways at the moment still =b

are you from Ballarat? that war memorial looks familiar

nb. im from nowhere near there, just made a pitstop on the way back from a uni field trip a few months ago lol

EDIT: love the car, clearly i'm a fan of white r33s :)

I am actually =D

The car is...to my knowledge...the only (street driven at least) GT-R in the city. I cant back that up with any kind of certainty though. :cool:

And thanks, i love it too =D

Ballarat girl eah...

I did my VCE / high school there back in 2000-2001.

Might have to make a trip to see what's roaming around.

Small place so you usually know who's driving what and who hangs out where...

Friday and Saturday nights down "Main" street was or still is "Hoon" city LOL!

Nice R33 GTR. Private import or from a dealer?

American Made Cycles still there? There were selling a R33 and R34 GTR a while back.

pics attached.

could be a completely different car - keep in mind, these pics would be atleast 2 years old.

if it is the same car, looks like its had some nice small cosmetic mods since then - standard S3 splitter, clear indicators and someone has fixed the position of the gtr badge! :)

i looked at a LOT of GTR's and still have the majority of the pics. i hold on to everything haha.

Close but no cigar eh...I'd imagine a lot of em look the same. But the dealer i bought it from only imports through japan - they dont take trade ins. Its a new import from Japan, only a couple months back... or at least this is what they assure me :)

Just gone 70 000 kms on the clock...either way i love the thing.

But yeah im a ballarat girl...I can tell you the only things we have worth lookin at here are...a 2009 370Z in black...my S3 GTR :wave: theres an Aston Martin getting around too...and i have HEARD reports that theres an R35 in town, but i havent seen it.

Yeah american made are still in business...not that they ever really manage to sell anything.

The 33 GTR is the only one i ever saw there, was up on carsales not long ago for like 28k with no reg or rwc. The guys deal mostly in Camaros atm...just mostly Chev stuff in general.

Yeah LOL!

Every time I drove past the place it was always the same cars...

How are they still around if not selling much?

So American Made Cycles were selling the R33 GTR for 28K with no reg no rwc?

They being a Car Sales dealer, you'd hope they give it to you...

Yeah LOL!

The listing was made on Car Sales as a private sale. Dunno how cuz i know for a fact it sat there a good 4 years or so. I assume they make their money off the bikes and bike repairs.

Or there could be a lil something else goin on.

Yeah righ, I see...

Anyway.

Any plan on mods for your R33 GTR?

I hope to plan on having money first, as running two cars is killing my finances =b

Plus the insurance on the GT-R is a small fortune in itself.

But hoping to start very small...i wanna get it a front strut brace (doesnt currently have one) full turbo-back exhaust, maybe look at getting it a 044 or similar...and then up to aftermarket tubos when i get the dough...and maybe a set of 7 or 800cc injectors to begin with.

It wont outgun a 26/30. But it will make me smile =D

Currently already has fully adjustable suspension - score, i dont have to do it...HKS dump and peripheries piping (im still learning, i dunno what its called...) and seals and stuff.

which is good, you know, cuz i like purple :happy: haha

errrm has a catback at the moment but still mostly stock...right down to the airbox u see in the pic :D

Strut brace would help a lot.

Deiced on how many kW's you want first then start the up grading.

"HKS dump and peripheries piping (im still learning, i dunno what its called...) and seals and stuff.

Not quite following you there... Purple..?

So you got HKS Dump pipes with Perforated straight through piping..? If so, it helps with the exhaust flow to run smoother / quicker = faster your car will go.

I would probably just leave the aftermarket cat back exhaust and just put in a high flow cat and "Down and Front" Pipes, which bolt on after your Dump pipes to free up the exhaust fumes as it will be a mighty gain on the RB26DETT.

Again deiced on how many kW's you want as the Stock GTR air intake / panel filter, front mount intercooler, blow off valve, fuel injectors (just to name a few) are all good for over 300kW's... So no need to change.

My suggestion is make sure your exhaust is at least 3" all the way and go for a boost controller and an APexi Power FC (ECU).

Don't boost it up too much as from memory the Stock R33 GTR turbos are still ceramic internals.

Stock boost is abour 10.9 PSi (+0.7 Bar), you could run a few more PSi but I suggest do not go over 14.7 PSi (1 Bar).

I think i do - as i said im...not actually certain. i'll take some piccies tomorrow afternoon to show you.

All the HKS seal things - and indeed most non-metal HKS parts - are purple. thats what i was getting at =D

The top parts that are commected to/closest to the engine block (ie the black pipe and the matte sailver steel pipe with "twin turbo" stamped on it...are stock...but they connect to shiny chromey HKS pipes. if that helps.

(This is really embarrassing for me not knowing...just so you know =b )

how am i meant to translate mm of mercury or whatever it is the gauge is tryin ta tell me? =b

LOL!

"Shiny chromey HKS Pipes" Are you talking about your intercooler piping? You have HKS intercooler piping...

Install an aftermarket boost gauge to give you either PSi or Bar reading.

Take photos and let me have a look.

:P

    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
