Hi all,

so after some searching and going around looking at several skylines. i took the plunge and did it, picked up an r33 gts-t. damn does it feel good to be part of the club.

i get the feeling that i'll be spending a lot of time on this forum over the next little while. after barely having it for a week i am already starting to think "mods" woot.gif its like a drug. this is my first turbo car, i can from canada, back home i went through several camaros/trans-am's over the years and they were fast... but something about the turbo just makes it so addicting to drive.

the comment pertains to the weight of the car. they are heavier than the others and thus called boats or whales. if you see either mentioned they are referring to a 33.

I own a 32 so I do not get those comments,

if you are in or near brissy your first stop should be me for mods. that way you still have a car to mod.

given you are on the gold coast and a LOT of these things go missing from there IN LOCKED CAR PARKS I would suggest you come see me for a decent alarm.

not sure who I am (search and you will see :P )

Then you will find out soon enough if its any good won't you? :thumbsup:

The number of immobilizing points do not matter....its the total installation that counts.

And Chris Rogers is exactly the person to see when it comes down to a well hidden, well integrated system that should frustrate all but the most determined/professional of car thieves (ie: tilt-tray truck or Nicholas Cage).

I might have some work coming up for you, Mr. Rogers. Not sure if you've done many of them but worth an ask I suppose :closedeyes:

i thank you for the offer, but i am already fitted with something that has a 3 point disabling system... or at least that what the previous owner told me :s

drive it up for the next tech night. bet I can get past it :)

ME,

call me first.

I have a 2nd R33 as a stolen and recovered due in a couple of days. same thing . crap install and a set of smashed locks. not sure on overall condition of the car just that it was found by its owner and still runs.

Congratulations on your purchase, and welcome to the forums. chris is a long time member of sau, and has been in and around skylines for a while. He knows his stuff when it comes to car alarms and theft systems, as he has stated above, just for peice of mind, its even worth the trip to see him one day, so he can explain to you why you system isnt as secure as you think it maybe. and if you are on the gold cast, especially in these times, there have been alot going missing from down there lately. so better to be safe then sorry. alot of places who install car alarms, do not know how to properly imobilise a car, chris does. hope this helps. give him a call at the least.

Cheers

Darren

Congrats and welcome, that is a damn tidy looking 33!

And I can't agree more with the above comments, Chris is worth the trip - a security system is only as good as the install. Put it this way... I live in Melbourne now and will probably be getting another car in the near future, and if/when I do I'll be flying Chris down here to take care of the security prior to delivery.

Nice and welcome. Could you get skylines in Canada? I know theyre illegal (lol) in usa.

As it has been said you really want to watch out for thieves and have your car extremely secure.

I live in Melbourne now and will probably be getting another car in the near future, and if/when I do I'll be flying Chris down here to take care of the security prior to delivery.

Lies, your taking him out to dinner! :Plaughing-smiley-014.gif

      Never ending fuel pump drama

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      So last night pulling away from the lights, I lost power for about 1 second. Bit weird, but I kept driving... 5 minutes later the pump completely dies. When I tried to start the car, the pump won't even prime.  I left the car for about an hour, tried to start it and it all appeared fine. Pump primed, car started, got the fuel pressure I should have.... Start driving home, 5 minutes later it dies again. I'm stuck in a shit spot this time going up hill with a car right behind me, so I just let the car continue to turn over while praying to the fuel pump gods. After about 2 minutes of turning the engine over, the fuel pump came back to life and I got home (only about another 5 min away).  So I've been digging around online, it seems like the 525 fuel pumps really don't like to be run at 100% all the time. I've found quite a few examples online of people killing their Walbro 525 pumps within about a year of usage when they are run without PWM.  So, my pump is an Aeroflow 525 (AF49-1057) and I've been running it at 100% without PWM. I'm thinking the Aeroflow 525 didn't like being run at 100% and has burnt itself up.  I really am sick of dealing with fuel pump issues, my current thoughts are -  1. Use a Walbro 450 and run it without PWM. It seems like these pumps hold up pretty well to being run at 100% all the time. I only make about 350kw and can't see me making any more power any time soon so this is probably a fine option.  2. Get a Walbro 525, run it with PWM. I know doing this will annoy me as I feel like with only 350kw, its extra expense that I don't "need" and I'll be thinking the whole time while setting it up that I should have gone with option 1. I know I'll be happy with this option when its setup and running, its only the initial setup frustration and cost as an issue.  3. Get a Walbro BKS1001 brushless pump. This is the fu*k it I'm already going PWM, might as well go full retard. This option just seems better in every way, with the only downside being cost. But I don't know much about this pump so I could be wrong.  Happy to get everyone's thoughts before I go digging around in the fuel tank again.

      Like loud exhausts? You could be a psychopath.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Actually, it is probably pretty legit. I mean, it's still woke feminazi bullshit academia, but you would have to agree that it is very likely that there would be a correlation between wanting a loud exhaust and scoring at the unpleasant end of the scales for dark triad personality traits. The fact that they found it didn't correlate with narcissism and only with psychopathy and sadism definitely shows that the loud exhaust thing is more of a "f**k you" than a "look at me", and I reckon that rings pretty close to most of the dickheads who take it to the extreme. Remember, this is correlation with tendency to be closer to one end of a personality trait scale than the other end. Of course someone who is at the literal opposite end of the psychopathy scale is going to be so considerate of others that they wouldn't even think about wanting to upset anyone with a loud exhaust. So the finding isn't that "you are a psychopath". Just that you score more towards that end of the scale than someone who doesn't like loud exhausts (on average, not necessarily even for specific individuals).
