I will keep an eye on any beers (if its an open invite :) )

My car is off to Nathan @ Newcastle Dyno tomorrow for a tune and boost controller! Not expecting numbers much different than standard but hoping to get a mid range improvement.

pm sent.

My car is back from the panelbeaters.

Will post some pictures of it tomorrow. It got stock rear bar, type M pods, s2 spoiler and roof spoiler installed / sprayed. Also front bar sprayed.

Also bought the next lot of crap for it too... venom cat, varex and prosport gauges / din triple gauge mount.

The lowest point of my car is 95mm off the ground, which is the dump. Looks like the 5" body cat is going to hang even lower. Kinda wish I had coilovers right now :/ Might have to add that to the list of things.

As soon as the varex and cat are welded up and the gauges in I should have enough spare for my new wheel setup. Enkei RPF1 17x9 +22 w/ Federal 595 255/40r17 :D

yea all good mate, sounds good...

hopefully i will still have my car... thoughts of selling have been cropping up again, but probably not untill the new year at this stage.

Whaaaa..... I hope your still not thinking of selling!

is a requirement for your new car the colour yellow? :)

nah not a requirement, but i wont rule it out...

still thinking about what i want, if i want 1 or 2 cars etc... test drove a c63 amg yessterday... was fairly impressive, sounded great, alot more comfy than i thought so would be fine for a daily... and had abit of balls, though i didnt have much room to really test it out.

I am in love with it at the moment. Cant wait to get the engine bay and wheels done though. Then I will do a proper photoshoot on it. Cant wait!

Looks good man!

how much?

is this for me??

they were advertised for mid 80s... but i rekon you could get a pretty good one for mid 70s... more than i want to spend, so i may need to re access and maybe look at it next year when work is more steady... would still cost less than my current situation though! and i rekon the c63 with the same tyres as my gtr would probably be quicker on the track... probably not with me behind the wheel though, they are meant to be a handful, but alot of fun ha.

Got my GTR back over the weekend with PFC fitted and tuned, its a different car!

What I expected the GTR to be like in the first place, its only making 238kw (standard injectors running out) but seems a lot more responsive.

On a side not I am considering swapping/selling the bbs lm wheels instead of painting, I dont suppose anyone has a standard set of r33 GTR wheels they want to get rid of? :) I'll post something in WTB later but hoping for something local!

What size are the BBS rims and are they a one or two piece rim?

2piece 17inch lm073 in gold

If anyone has anything pm me to save hijacking general thread

any reason why you want to go back to stock wheels? you can fit nice big wheels in your guards similar to the 34 gtrs ha. bigger wheels, bigger tyres, better grip :)

Yeah that thought has crossed my mind but anything aftermarket look strange at stock height (IMO). I am still deciding if I want it lowered :)

I am not sold on the look of the BBS wheels, I suppose I would consider something like volks as a swap +cash either way but that would lock in coilovers to lower it.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
