Good evening All,

As of the Saturday just gone, I went to Japcar to visit Dennis and picked my new car up!

Dennis was very helpful, and so far after a Christmas Hills run and many grins on my face (boosting is quite a lot of fun coming from an Integra GSI), I am in love.

1999 Nissan Skyline R33 GTR

63,000 km.

Mechanical inspection prior to purchase came up with the only problem being a leaking water pump, so that was fixed along with the timing belt whilst the rocket cover was off.

I am the first Australian owner and it is resprayed in Burgundy (no accidents caused the respray but it is looking very fresh when polished).

Pictures will come up when I get the chance, considering I'm either at work or unwilling to leave the driver's seat!

If anyone from the Templestowe area wants to have a meet and greet, I'd be more than happy to learn more about the forced induction platform (coming from N/A)!

Congratulations on the acquisition.

Tried to get it on St Patrick's Day but had to wait a bit eh?

Any history/logs 'n auction papers?

Checked on VINs fasted here on SAU?

Going to sleep in it on 1st night? hehe...

Yes, look forward to the pics.

One could say St Patty's day was interesting!

No history/log book, but I was given the original auction papers, not a photocopy which was good.

VINS were definately checked before on one of the stickys on this forum.

Unfortunately I spent more time partying this weekend rather than driving (I know, shame on me). But in due course :blink:

    • bumping this post as im still having dramas, my fuel pick up is sitting on the bottom of the tank, my pump gets a constant 13 volts through a relay, my fuel pressure holds consistently without fluttering or dropping, yet as soon as im near half a tank of fuel my car starts fuel starving and leaning out, it cant be due to g force as it never pulls hard enough before it starts breaking up, any help would be much appreciated 
    • Just a thought, was that car and auto at any point of its life? If so, maybe whoever bridged the inhibitor switch/circuit did a not so good job.
    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
