Hey everyone,

Moved to Sydney from NZ a couple of months back now and finally getting enough time on my hands to start playing around with cars again.

I own an R33 back in New Zealand which is currently with my mate who is tidying it up mechanically and then dropping it off at a panel shop to get fixed up in anticipation for export to here.

Quickly learnt that while the public transport over here is great, you still really need to have a car to get around. Ended up picking up a '82 Datsun/Nissan Pulsar N10 which I've just got running again after experiencing a heap of mishaps after buying it. Done a few modifications and it will probably turn into a bit of a track hack.

Looking forward to getting involved with some events. :)

Cheers,

James

Haha sorry for replying so late guys.

Definitely keen to come to some events, but maybe in a month or so, got a lot of work on.

Pics? Well the Pulsar is in the garage and the Skyline is in NZ still, so this is the best I can do.

Definitely having withdrawals of the Skyline. Expensive exercise... doesn't seem too bad though. Have had the R33 for 4 years now, so sentimental value is high. Have discussed with Kristian at Iron Chef Imports. Will be hitting him up in a few months once my mechanic and panel beater have finished giving it a rigorous going over.

Thanks for the welcome. :)

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.

      I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
