Hello everyone

I have got a yellow last Sunday and this week I have been searching for all relevant info about passing the pits. Some problems came across.. any1 could tell me what to do about this?

Currently the fuel regulator is leaking. I did made sure the hoses are tighten, and noticed that the petrol is leaking from the spot (in red circle) Does that mean the regulator is broken? It is a sard one btw.

I have no idea what to do at the moment. Seems like lot of parts have to change back to Original.

Just want to gain more opinions before I send my car to work shop and do it up.

and a silly question. Do I have 10 days to prepare for pit since my car defected? does it include Saturday and Sunday?

Cheers

Romain :P

answer ur question abt the sard reg.. i would say just re-tape with teflon tape and tighten it up..... and i think in general coilovers are illegal??

Adjustable coilovers are illegal if they are threaded.

10 consecutive days yes lol

Coilovers technically are illegal, but as long as they aren't too soft most inspectors are fine with them...but it all depends, they aren't consistent. Your engine bay looks pretty clean & tidy so they should be happy with it, the bov you will have to take off, the cat should also be ok, at least I don't think any rules have been changed with that except for the emissions part they might ask you to get done. The IM240 test is still on hold at least....but if you have access to a stock cat you may as well put it on anyway

hey man if its not too hard do u mind posting up some pics of how your fpr is all hooked up? ive got what looks like an identical sard one but with only 1 airline fitting and 2 fuel fittings (purchased 2nd hand). and i always thought an adjustable fpr would replace the standard one it looks like yours is running in series with it.

cheers bud

    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
