Very nice ride matey...got any pics of the engine? this makes me so badly wana get a 33 gtr...how much did u buy the car for if u dont mind me asking? u can pm if u want...

id say get a smaller muffler...i don't like the huge ones...

Thanks man Ill get some pics up of engine although its pretty stock looking at the moment just chucked some pods on. The cannon is actually a HKS catback which I just left on the car didnt really see the need for changing it, I might get some twin tips in the future.

I'll PM ya what I paid for it.

Hi Leigh, I really like what you've done so far very tasteful mods. I'm currently doing the same to mine, got the bc coilovers on order, and like u I also have to fix my front lip and instrument cluster really annoying having the rev meter bouncing all over the place. Where did u get the carbon fibre wing blade from, psi parts? And are they also the carbon fibre inserts that are from psi parts as well? Been thinking of getting these myself.

Look forward to seeing ur future mods, nice work!

Lovely ride and very nice night shot! :thumbsup:

The rear of the R33 is what really sets the car apart from the other Skylines. Far more 'muscular' than the R34, I reckon (not bagging R34 owners - just expressing a personal opinion).

Looking forward to read future updates, so I hope you keep this thread updated.

Thanks for all the nice comments guys :)

Wow its been a while since I have updated this, reason being is that I'm currently unemployed and cant afford to blow any money on the car so PFC and cam gears still sitting on the desk here, looking up turbo upgrades / options as well. They will go on as soon as I start earning some cash again as well as some canards and slightly lower it a bit more.

Until then I'll leave you guys with a pic or two (only change is new front clear indicators) :) :

So its been a few months and no update, sorry about that guys :rolleyes:

Put some splitfire coilpacks and new plugs in:

And cars going in on Monday for 100k service at local workshop Racepace so in good hands I hope :thumbsup:, cam gears to be fitted and ran on the dyno and will also be upping the boost a bit on the standard turbos.

Got the car back from Racepace after doing the 100k service, they did notice the rear rotors and pads needed to be replaced so they put some DBA 4000 series on and Fedoro racing pads. They threw the Tomei cam gears on at the same time as well and modified the standard solenoid a bit to allow 1-2 extra PSI through.

Made 233.5kw with just the exhaust / cam gears and a little boost:

And the new rear rotors:

Will be doing the fronts soon enough as well.

As you can see by the dyno sheet the car is making good power its just a little lazy, Chris said turbos could be high flowed or intercooler may have a small crack or something somewhere as they tested the usual suspects such as BOVs holding pressure and wastegates working as intended - both tests we ok he said so thinking it could be somewhere within the intercooler itself. Will be all upgraded eventually anyways, for now still making decent power considering.

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
