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

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

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Misfires when the car is fully warm are generally attributed to the coils (and/or the igniter, on cars with a separate igniter). They can stop working properly when they get hot for a number of reasons. Either electric/electronic, or from thermal expansion opening up gaps and allowing HV leakage. Seeing as you have replaced the coils, that could/should rule them out. But I wouldn't always assume so. Were the coils genuine? Or is there a chance you have bought some counterfeit Chinesium shit? Then we're back onto loom connections. They can fail when warm/hot for the same reasons. Inspections, cleaning of contact surfaces, ensuring that terminals are fully inserted, etc etc, are all justified. The same (heat effects) holds true for the other electrics and their connectors. AFM & CAS, primarily. If you try that Chinesium AFM, drive it around on low load until it is properly hot, but do'nt give it more load than you have to, except when you need to see if it will still miss. I'm dead serious about the untrustworthiness of the calibration of those copy AFMs. Injectors are unlikely to get hot unless the fuel is coming back around hot. You could try squirting them with compressed air or freeze spray to cool them back down to see if they are maybe the cause.

      Alright, all the plugs looks good. Noticed that it starts to get bad when the car is up to temp, that's when things starts to misfire hard. next to do is Injector cleaning and such. Got in touch with a shop to do work on the injectors next Monday also help on diagnosis.

      Hence why I've only modified my car into a pure daily. Everything has to remain reliable & roadworthy, while providing value and grin factor. It also must not be handcrafted to the extent that the car will be immovable if something breaks because you cannot get or make a replacement to at least limp around with.

      Nah, I definitely do that kind of stuff with my car. I do drive it around as a daily! It's just that mindset about building a car to actually still use/retain it's function as a car is rare. If you modify your car into a weekender, IMO you've ruined 5/7ths of the fun. It should remain fun to do daily errands in.
