Had a drama with the paint that was done on the front bar by the Repair shop as the paint wasn't a good colour match so they did it again.

So finally got it done due to rain holding it back and then got my front numberplate finally put in its final resting place:)

So time came to sort out my Clutch Master as it really wasn't loving life. Was going to cost $120 to recondition my current one or $140 for a new one of which the Boss of the Clutch shop divulged was actually a brand new Clutch Master for a D22 Navara because his son had done an RB25DET conversion on his Navara and he noticed they were the same one. This information relating to the fact most parts for Imports aren't listed, As is the case with a part number for an R33 Clutch master Cylinder. So what do i do? I hit up a mate at a 4X4 wrecking yard for a second hand D22 Navara Clutch Master Cylinder. Got myself a 2010 D22 Navara Clutch Master Cylinder with only 8000KM on it for $35 LOL.

Just had to change over the rod and hey presto :D

D22 Master is the clean one obviously.

Time came to get my front Calipers painted and front Rotors Machined(Slightly warped). Took it into my mates workshop and he sorted it out :)

201203170910451200x9001332332212.png

Someone chose the absolute worst colour of blue to paint the Calipers and Rotors lol.

Ugly.

201203171010251200x9001332332722.png

They call it "Real Red" for a reason aha.

Mate used a Gasket remover to take the paint off the Nissan.

201203171022171200x9001332332871.png

Caliper bolts get Silver Paint for the added touch.

201203171022451200x9001332332871.png

Clips get the Metho treatment.

201203171038181200x9001332333205.png

So at this Juncture i state that i will hopefully be getting the rear Rotors and Calipers Painted this week along with Royal Purple going in my engine and then that's its for a long time. Karratha calls for me.

Cheers to everyone that appreciates this thread and Vehicle.

This build is the fruits of me and my best mates efforts :)

None of this could have been done without the Help,Work,effort,knowledge,Car-space,Equipment and time put in by Jarod. Cheer-Bro :cheers:

Have a good one people. :):thanks:

Looking really good mate, amazing how well it all comes together when small things like that are done. Keep it up!

Cheers dude! The time will come soon for you to get back into the game ;)

Looks awesome mate.

Welcome to WA in advance :P

Thank you kind Sir :P

looks pretty good now, gerry will never get another import! He'll turn into a vn driving redneck with 3 odd hubcaps and trying to swap broken fish tanks for skid wheels and police chips lol

Sorry dude, i don't live in Beenleigh anymore lol Plus my commodore driving days are long gone now!

I'll get another import, but, considering i live in a unit the size of a shoe box and have no garage, im in no real rush to be getting anything. But im really really starting to dig 4 door 33's. Might be looking into something like this at the of the year, if all else goes to plan that is lol So until then ill stay up till the late hours of the night looking at other peoples money pits lol

Rain held back getting the rears done but finally got round to it.

Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo i sorta never posted my trip to the dyno for a tune. Total woops on my part.

PFC picked up an intermittent random problem with my CAS in the higher range which halted the tune being pushed any further. realistic figure of 174rwkw on 12.5psi on a hot day with a CAS problem.

Tune is quite linear compared to the stock R33 tune. Feels more like a stock R34 tune but still a bit more fun to drive.

Will need to get a new CAS in the future and get some sort of Re-tune (As to whether it will be a bit of a tinker or a full retune is unknown)

Love your work mate. Looks unreal a little known fella here on the goldy luke fink has one forsale I think his was the first I've ever seen then stumbled across yours love the gunmetal grey looks great with the impul swaybars and all the other stuff would you say it handles better than a normal 4 door? I'm not going to buy a 2 door ever again love the 4 doors truley converted hehe.

4 door has a 20mm larger rear overhang same wheelbase and same underbody setup as a 2 door. Handles exactly the same as a 2door.

I disagree. I have owned 2 4 doors and 1 2 door. 2 door seems more snappy and unpredictable when you cut loose whereas 4 door seems easier to control. Weight is in different areas and 4 door is heavier along with shape of roof and height and whatever. My lowered 4 door still had a higher roof than my 2 door on stock suspension.

nice work here mate, the BN SPORTS front was a good choice!

You live in karratha? Im guessing the car is over east still?

From Hedland thats all. Keep it up :thumbsup:

Thanks :)

Yeah mate living in Karratha. Impul is over east. Will give it some time and maybe get a respray and a new crank angle sensor then prob get it trained to Perth and then bring it up.

Right now im rocking out with a 3k AU Falcon lol.

You drive yours much? around these parts?

Around hedland mainly on weekends, i use the maloo for longer trips. Bit more comfortable :P

Got another mate here who also owns a bcnr33. Not many good examples of imports around here, its all HSV

Fair Fair

Theres a fairly clean white 32 4 door in town along with a lebspec autosalon style orange 300zx then theres a really dirty MK4 Supra with kit rims bonnet wing all terribly fitted,cracked and dirty lol.

Feeling pretty keen to get crank angle sensor,condenser,retune, respray and bring mine over near the end of the year :P

Was that you driving towards the LIA in Karratha at about 7 minutes past 3 today (Friday)?

Saw it briefly going the other way but my first split second glance was "GTR!" aha. Looks awesome. If it wasnt you would it have been your mate?

    • perhaps i should have mentioned, I plugged the unit in before i handed over to the electronics repair shop to see what damaged had been caused and the unit worked (ac controls, rear demister etc) bar the lights behind the lcd. i would assume that the diode was only to control lighting and didnt harm anything else i got the unit back from the electronics repair shop and all is well (to a point). The lights are back on and ac controls are working. im still paranoid as i beleive the repairer just put in any zener diode he could find and admitted asking chatgpt if its compatible   i do however have another issue... sometimes when i turn the ignition on, the climate control unit now goes through a diagnostics procedure which normally occurs when you disconnect and reconnect but this may be due to the below   to top everything off, and feel free to shoot me as im just about to do it myself anyway, while i was checking the newly repaired board by plugging in the climate control unit bare without the housing, i believe i may have shorted it on the headunit surround. Climate control unit still works but now the keyless entry doesnt work along with the dome light not turning on when you open the door. to add to this tricky situation, when you start the car and remove the key ( i have a turbo timer so car remains on) the keyless entry works. the dome light also works when you switch to the on position. fuses were checked and all ok ive deduced that the short somehow has messed with the smart entry control module as that is what controls the keyless entry and dome light on door opening   you guys wouldnt happen to have any experience with that topic lmao... im only laughing as its all i can do right now my self diagnosed adhd always gets me in a situation as i have no patience and want to get everything done in shortest amount of time as possible often ignoring crucial steps such as disconnecting battery when stuffing around with electronics or even placing a simple rag over the metallic headunit surround when placing a live pcb board on top of it   FML
    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.
