Kids these days.... !!!

Erm... if you defined a 27 yr old electrical engineer as a kid then yes I am a kid.

I've been saving up after graduating in 2007 and taking public transport all this while to buy the car. Having said that I drive my dad's corolla and civic in Singapore before I came here to finish my uni. So technically the 33gtr is still my first car I bought using my own money.

My 1st car is my current car. Slug box R33, bought it 2 weeks after I got my Ps.

B4 that, the 1st car I have driven was my mum's old 91 VN commodore then a 02 Camry, that I used for my hours on Phase 2 L.

My first car was a 1984 toyota camry

Second car was a 1995 Mazda 626

Third car was a RX7 Series 4 13BT

Fourth car/current car is a 250rwkw 1993 r33 gtst

all cars owned have been manual

91' mistu lancer, 5spd fwd FTL had it for a few weeks was a perfect daily but I wanted....

92' Nissan Silvia (SR20DE) 5 spd and loved it to bits great little thrasher kept in pristine condition and had a genuine nissan aero kit aswell, ah the memories

1st car: Turbo Nissan Exa (on L's)

2nd car: KE70 corolla (RWD... Loved it!)

3rd car: Series 2 RX-7 with EFI 12A Turbo built by Dyson Rotary

4th car: R32 GTST Skyline (Current)

Sometimes wish Id kept the rotor!

    • Not really, but the heater box is pretty simple mechanically....if the door is one way the air bypasses the heater core and if it is the other way it goes through it for warm air.  If you are sure the actuator you moved manually is for the heater mix (there would also be one for output air direction) then I'd take the heater box out and see what is happening (you'll have to regass and re-coolant the systems afterwards) BTW pp724 onwards from the GTR workshop manual cover the system in good detail, it is probably worth checking. I think the IAT sensor might be a problem electrically for getting cold (if you got 24 error code not -24 it thinks the incoming air is -50c) and it covers how to test the sensor (although most likely it is either not plugged in or a wire is damaged)
    • Use the GKTech subframe bush and bring your subframe 10mm closer to the chassis. You'll need to fix an exhaust hanger to suit. One of the best mods I've done.
    • You'd really have to pull it apart further to know, it least you can be confident that the one heading to the back is not connected any more. There was once a ground on the shifter seal mount too, your head unit issue could be that simple
    • Perfect, I'll get to it this winter then at the same time as I weld on my anti squat kit. 
    • Alright so my 32 only has one temperature no matter what degree you set it to. I’ve tried disconnecting the servo motor arm and moving it either direction and got no change. I’ve fixed the leak in my AC and re charged it and with it on and clutch engaged it still blows hot even though the low pressure pipe going to the firewall is ice cold. Both heater core hoses are hot while running as well. Diagnostic code showed 24 for intake air temperature sensor. Anybody got any ideas?
