hi guys!

usually thursdays at either carseldine, or a cruise down to see the westies.

best place to test that suspension is at happy laps, we need more people to race around lakeside :)

Ive got BC V1's and so far no issues, nice shocks

hey guys,

havn't been on here for a lil while just lurking around learning :)

question I have for you tho.

the Hicas light has come on in the missus R33 4 door when driving for the ol 10 mins around 80kmh etc

there is a little bit of play in the inner tie rods from the look of it.

so what are our options? do we need to replace the inner tie rods AND get a lock bar or is the play in the rack it self? or should we get the Hicas Eliminator kit that driftworks/cartel sells? which replaces EVERYTHING with new arms

the other issue it is having now is when you start it up especially when cold it sort of struggles to bring the idle up, I cleaned out the IAC not long ago and its still doing it so not sure what the go is there any ideas??

cheers

Personally i recommend the eliminator kit. I got one a few months back and love it. Specially if you ass end is getting a little happy. Makes the car a whole lot more predicatable. By the sounds of it you rods need replacing anyway so the cost of new rods + lock bar will be very similar. I got mine from cartel

cheers for the advice,

its only auto and the wife doesn't rape it too much, but her fuel economy is terrible :(

its stock with only the 7psi all the time solenoid grounded and a pod filter(DRIFT brand dry one not oiled like a K&N)

and we have changed everything except the AFM so far(changed spark plugs today so see if that makes a difference)

getting only 350km till it reads pretty close to E

My wife granny drives mine and can get almost 100km more out of a tank :( than i do.

but i'd say your economy has alot to do with the auto, and how much she loads it up in each gear (or how much the box forces her to do so...lol)

other than that its all about the drive, if i only drive to and from work in traffic and with the cold start i get 360-370km. as soon as i get any highway use its 400+

Also does anyone know if r33 GTR series 1 dash cluster will work in gtst series 2?

no idea sorry, i dont see why not tho. most of these clusters fit/look the same

car looks good man, would like to see those wheels in person, what offset are they?

What's up with the intercooler? Installing one? <----(like he said, looks like its there)

My cars economy isnt too flash. 330 when it hits qtr left. Not fame to push it tbh! My Holden use to run empty at qtr of a tank lol..

man...you guys have no faith in your cars...lol. run it empty just to find out, i often leave it till well and truely empty and the fuel light is on before filling. i know exactly how empty i can run it (made it to a servo with 2 litres left once).

Holden doesnt count as a reference to anything :P

on another note, Carseldine and visit the westies this thursday??

Sorry about the double post (I only phone). About the intercooler? Yeah it's on there but only just. I want to try to get it to sit maybe slightly higher or if not at least straight and centred. It's pushed far over to the passengers side. :P looks pretty average. Not sure if I should paint it black or not.

Ahk, I might be able to help you but not sure on a day as of yet. You could bring it to a mate of mine while we respray my car if your keen for a car talk etc?

Leave it chrome! Bodo painted his blak and it suits the white car, but te chrome with your black would suit better. All to do with preferences.

Yeah I'll try that bodo, see how far I can get:p

that fine adjustment, and straightening of the cooler i found to be the biggest pain in the ass of all :(

Black looks good, nice and discrete :)

as for tonight, im keen for a cruise to see the westies. i say we meet at Carseldine pizza capers at 7:30pm and cruise from there.

mumslayer and myself will be at the morayfield BP's southbound on the highway at 7pm, if your coming from up this way

I'd love to catch up sometimes with you young'uns. I've got uni every Thursday night so have never made it.

Just put some RSRs on the R33 so heaps of grip if I happen to come across some corners. The car isn't being driven much atm as it need to visit the smash repairers for a minor front end bingle.

Getting it prepped for Lakeside happy laps, then some proper laps.

Got to put the braided lines on, rebuild the rear calipers (done the front), put new rear rotors on and new pads all round. Then WINNING.

sounds good man, and who are you calling youngens? :P

Mumslayer just put some Achilles 123S on his (cheaper than an RSR, but similar) and he loved it at the last happy laps. and they looks good too :)

Have no fear for i fixed it! Loose air inlet on the boost tee tighten and win

yeah was gonna say, prob just a small leak.

I got the tap set so i can build that gear knob for you man, drop it round to me some arvo and ill get it done in my spare time.

I wont be heading out tomorrow night......im tired enough as it is.

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
