Been reading through a few posts

im sorry i have to laugh but you think you have it bad here????? You wouldnt last 5 mins in England its gone down hill big time hence why i left.

Before I left 4 coppers, yes it took 4 of them, fined a guy 60 quid just under $120 and put three points on his licence for............... what for it

wipping his nose at the wheel oh yeah forgot to say he was stationary too with the hand brake up stuck in traffic wtf

Anyway long standing member of Skyline owners forum username J_jskyline79

Own a r33 GTS-T with a few things done but thankfully enough not to cause to much hassle when it gets imported. Hopefully!!!! (not has expensive as I thought it would be) far far cheaper then buying like for like lets put it that way plus its a car I no works

Just thought id say hello and all that

anyway the car

Full spec list

Split fire coil packs

Apexi AVCR set to .85

Apexi Neo

Apexi power flow induction kit (with original snorkel in place)

Apexi stainless steel heat sheild

Stainless steel rb coil pack cover

50mm alloy race rad

GTR front mount strut brace

Fujiztsabo cat back exhaust

Nismo decat

Up rated mainfold studs

White line upper wishbone ajustable camber arms

SKYLINE red led rear panel

GTR side skirts

Mintex drilled and groved front disks

Nismo short shifter

Pushing 300bhp that what 220kw atf (i think)

Thanks thats fly wheel power though

Got a neo that needs to be set up so should see it brake 300bhp easy

But i gotta get it over here first lol

Pulled a 14.27 1/4 a few years back, running 255bhp at.5bar boost on street radials and 3/4 of a tank of fuel

haha you're a madflamin mongrel to export an R33 from England to here, but cool story bro, have you thought about selling it there (i imagine they would be worth quite a lot more over there than here!)

hmm yeah, i would have thought it'd be much more exxy to export one out of the UK than to pick up an S1.5 GTSt with minor mods locally for about 6-7 grand. Then again, all depends on how much value you put on history and trust. I wouldn't buy an R33 GTSt locally unless I was doin a ground up rebuild, cos I know at some point, a 17 year old would have owned it.

Mad???? lol you have no idea

England is in the middle of a deep pit of depression atm no work no jobs

You would be lucky if you got $4000 for it over in England

Your looking at what $10 $12 $13k here in Oz to buy like for like, low mileage rwc and or rego infact the last one i looked at was in the $17k mark back home i could get a half decent 34gtr for that!!!!!

So I have a car I want thats worth f all in England because the bottoms fallen out the market and no one has any jobs and carnt afford anything and they cost a fortune here (maybe im setting my sites to high but im only looking like for like and mine isnt really all that great tbh)

Its going to cost me just under $3k to have shipped and on the road you cant buy many cars let alone a Skyline for $3k can you plus I no this car works and its history

Am i still mad????

Or i could put it another way

Is a GTS-T in good condition with low milage rwc rego light mods and the spec you see in this thread worth more then $3k??

Welcome and enjoy Australia, lots more going for it than old blighty. Nice car, join the club now and partake in some motorsport when it arrives.

Just reminded myself - David if you read this, renewal will be done on Monday. :cheers:

damn you got a good deal on shipping, is that in a container or a car carrier? I'd've though that they would still be worth more over there, since one would assume that the richer end of town would still be ok.

I was thinking pretty much what Funky said, R33s are worth fark all here, but on the down side most have been trashed by morons as they are the real non thinking man's Skyline model.

I was also thinking of expenses related to any compliancing and on roads (like having to drop all fluids, initial rego / roadworthy etc).

$3k would likely buy you a turbo'd Aussie R31 lol, but then who'd be seen dead in a Pintara!?

Rich end lol that is rich end price $4000 is ALL you would get for it if you were lucky

Got the price on Container that was also a high end price including some personal belongings a few boxes and guitars at 1500 quid but did include insurance and most paper work

Expenses relating to any compliance surly could not exceed $7000?????

    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
    • One way of putting the fuel surge idea to rest, is that even when in neutral/clutch in or free revving it still has the same issue, it can’t even get to limiter (7800) so to me that says it can’t be g force, I’m not trying to argue I just want to find the f&$king issue 😡
