Hi guys - I've got my very loved R33 for sale - silver - will post pics if there is any interest. I'll start with the story... I've owned her for 7 years and have used solely for a commuter. She's not hotted up in any way really - and has been well looked after. Oil change every 5k to 7k religiously... Same mechanic has looked after her since day one. BUT I've just had word that I need about $3k in repairs to get her back to tip top. Explanation further...

Recent repairs:

New AFM

New Shocks

New Steering all round (the works done here)

Gates Racing 100k service kit - done about 3 months ago - inc water pump etc - the whole lot done

Injectors taken out and cleaned about 3 months ago as well

Oil change to the gear box and diff about 12 months ago

Iridium Sparkies just done

New brakes on the front

New arial motor (reco)

Battery about 12 months old - closed cell (only mention because it was expensive)

Problems Mechanical:

Rocker Cover gasket needs doing

Tyres need changing

Power steering pump has a whine

Clutch has a whine

Problems appearance:

Needs a new front spoiler - it's ok but looks ratty

Got keyed down the right hand side from back to front (worst of it ends at the drivers door)

Dints on the bonnet and the passenger door (just small ones but they are noticeable)

Tear in the drivers seat - about 10cm long

Power mirror button doesn't work anymore

That's about it - I haven't taken pics of her because I'm really not sure if anyone will be interested - and I can trade her in if it comes down to that - but I'd prefer her to go to someone who actually gives a crap about her.

PM if you're interested please and if I get responses I'll take pics.

Oh, price: I'd like to get about $5k because I've spent more than that in the last 18 months. Negotiable though.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
