Hi all,

I have had my 1995 R33GTR for about 2 1/2 years now (First owner in Australia) and it has been a great car and now that i have a second car i have been able to take take it off the road and start doing work to it. About 4 months ago i was away with work so i decided to let my cousin use the car while i was out of town for a few months. To my surprise when i got back he had done a heap of damage to it. He claimed he wasnt racing or doing anything stupid but ill post some pics up and im sure your will come to the same conclusion as i did. What made it so funny was that he tried to hide it from me by trying paint over the damaged sections with the wrong colour paint. The main reason for this post is to get some ideas about what to do to the car. First things first next week me and a mate will be starting on the damage done to the car and respraying the whole car. I was thinking about putting a peal on as well and just wanted to know if anyone knew of a good peal colour to use.

List of mods

Engine is standard

ARC induction box

HKS 3in cat back exhaust

Hi Flow Metalcat

Haltech Plug in ecu

Walbro 550HP 255LPH in-tank fuel pump

18in ray engineering wheels. I dont know what model they are but im sure someone out there will.

The tune on the car at the moment is 300hp.

Here are some pics of the damage that was done.

As you can see here the front lip is beat up a little. The paint on the bonnet wasnt his fault. The day after i got back i decided to wash the car and as i was spraying the bonnet with water there were some little stone chips that then decided to just start flaking and before i knew it it was all over. LOL.

Ah got it.

Yeh will be building the engine. A few people have told me to go with an rb30 block and my mechanic also has been trying to get me to do that as well. If i go with the rb30 block i dont think i would do the work myself. I dont have that much time to mess around and try to make it fit so i would have to get someone else to do it ie my mechanic.

I will be just happy to have the car look like it hasnt been hit by anything lol.

yeh i am, i was going start it next week but now with the time and money i will have to spend on fixing up the damage i will have to wait a little longer. But that gives me more time to think about what i want to do with it. Just looking for ideas from others who have done the samething to see whats most effective.

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
