Ok guys, long time no see, but I'm at wits end.

I'm gunning down a front spoiler for an R33 GTS-T S1 1993.

You know the standard 'M' type? (Not the lip one, the full spoiler) I'm even willing to consider an aftermarket option but I really would like the same again. (On this note too, what IS a good kit? They all look shit to me =P).

I have had discussions with A1 Nissan Wrecking, AA Car Parts in Boondall, Just Jap don't import it and carry horrid kits.

Everyone have said that they have no idea where I would find one.

The best lead I have gotten so far was Village Motors in Petrie who have given me a list of things to give to them (build date, VIN etc...) so they can look into it but they don't sound optimistic.

Any help my fellow SAU buddies give me will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks duuuuuudes,

-Kez

You sir, are a f**king sexy man.

Spoke to Village Motors as well, if anyone is interested a new R33 Front Spoiler (S1) is $1500.

f**k.

lol... villiage motors wanted to charge me 1200 for an RB AFM...

you're from the village people if you try and buy anything except for wheel studs through them.

Ahhhh no, not only is that nothing like my style one, I don't have a Top Secret style one =P

I went through JapanAutos like SCR48 suggested. A little over $300 and I have a new front bumper. Titties.

Awesome guy that runs it too, had a good chat =).

Admin, sir, you may lock this topic.

I went over there and had a gander, he was nice enough to let me choose from four different bumpers. The amount of gear he has there, oh my f**king god.

I could spend well over a week in there, just looking at shit to buy. He has like 8/9 halfcuts of various imports just smiling at you when you walk in. He knows his shit and actually is a really top bloke!

I'd reccomend him to anyone. Esp. being at Reddy is a massive bonus, easy to find too!

      Hard to say, just pop the rocker covers off and have a look if you think it's cammed. You probably need to replace the valve cover gasket/half moons anyways.

      From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.
