It was a white R33 & it was in at a panel beaters.

Yeh mate, that would be mine. Was neat as, had a little dingle and will be back very soon. keep getting stuffed round by import wreckers and freight companies but all the parts have now arrived so wont be long. Few of the guys saw you going round, said your car was pretty nice. Unfortunately i missed it. What mods u got? any pics?

Not to many mods, 3.5" turbo back exhaust, K&N panel filter, Daul stage B/C, GFB Hybrid B/O valve & Front mount I/C. Gets along pretty well though.

Hopefully there's a pic attached if I've done it right.

Cant say I've ever attached a pic! haha. got any on a website?

SIKMR2 isnt an import, just the aus release. So its non turbo, but i spose it goes ok, nothing special though. But yeh, done up to be a show car, full veilside kit, full leather retrim, 18's, pretty decent stez. If u want a closer look at SNIPER just go into speedy Tires and ask for Jimmy, he's a top bloke and I'm sure he wouldnt mind having a look at yours.

Let us know next time you come to launy.

zsky, there are at least two 4 door R33's I have seen, one I wanted to buy in launnie a couple of months back, black with a bodykit and one down here which is dark grey, but it's a GTS4 manual and looks sweet. Sorry I didn't buy your car buddy, really wanted a manual.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
