Hey guys, just thought I'd drop in and say hi, recently became the very happy owner of my first Skyline, have loved Skylines since I was a kid and always wanted one so it was nice to fulfill a childhood dream, my car is a R33 basically stock but I have plans to slowly do it up.

New to car lingo too so hopefully can learn a few things here.

Cheers,

Nate.

Awesome! Welcome...

I don't think that you will regret the decision to purchase one. Im sure you will be hard pressed in finding someone on here that will tell you otherwise.

:) Best of luck with it all...

Welcome to the RB family bro, what plans u got for the 33? U aimin to get much power?

Ben

Honestly I'm not sure, basic things first.

Just got rid of my stock rims and put some 18s on which look much better... next I'm thinking exhaust, and everyone keeps on mentioning front mount intercooler.... /shrug

Have a few bits and pieces to fix, ie the sound system is in a bad way :D but I'm enjoying spending time with my car that's for sure!

Nice looking car u got there bro

Well you'll be doing the right thing by upgrading the exhaust first,,theres a lot of power to b gained if u get a good free flowing exhaust happening.

Front mount, not neccessary, unless you're gonna be running a lot of boost or aiming for more than 200kw.

Yeah these are real fun cars to drive, i never get tired of driving mine :P

Enjoy it

Thanks ben,

I'll be looking into an exhaust sometime this week, I doubt I'll be running higher boost any time soon.. but yeah I've had nothing but fun driving her around.

Hope it continues for a long time too! ;)

Cheers,

Nate.

Yeah I stole the rims off of some random bloke... he never saw it coming.

As for the boost, if I keep hanging around you blokes I'm sure it will inevitably go higher one day haha.

    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
