Blue R33 with a dodgy R34 front end conversion? I used to see it around every now and again in Hobart when it was still registered a few years back, I thought it looked awesome when I first saw it but on closer inspection it looks like it was a little bit roughly put together (never saw in too much detail though). The guy who owned it at the time drove it like the king of douche bags. Only general douche baggery in traffic and throwing it around, seemed to like the image, never saw him sitting on limiter or anything like that though.

From memory when I was initially praising the cars looks Funz32 didn't seem to think much of it, I don't know how much experience he had with the car but he knew the driver by name (daniel? I think?), could be worth asking him :)

A lot of people from here should know the car because it stands out like a sore thumb, good luck mate

Found it, even has pics of how it was in January 2010. Reading my posts it seems I have a pretty different opinion of the car and driver, maybe time has made me into an arsehole?

Either way, this is the post I was looking for:

has been in a severe front end, not sure of how much damage came out of it though, but a bit. as for the rest.. umm yeah.. no comment :)

Here's the rest of the thread for context:

cheers guys, the few times i saw it, it was pretty haggard too, but now seems to have had some $$ spent on it as its all one colour and looked straight? only thing that put me off was the fact it is unrego'd and needs pitting and still asking 8k...

iv been informed its rb25de+t with a 20 box? can anyone confirm this?

yes i know that car , it's definitely de+t , still 4 stud last time i saw it , has definitely had a hard life by the people i saw that owned it . all of the body kit was sikaflexed on and painted over , the best part about the car was the new head lights . it may be better than it was when i last saw it though .

*shameless plug* i have a nice 32 sedan id sell around that money , nice tidy car :)

Left hand rear quarter has about 50 pounds of bog in in it, looks Like it was applied with a shovel and rubbed with a rock. Hands down one of the biggest shitters about. Was "clean" about 6 years ago, would make good target practice now.

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?

      thanks GTSboy. My confusion at the moment is i am trying to locate the ignition, ECU battery power and the ECU negative The closest thing i can find is the for the S15 on Page 8 of the Wiring Specialties web page https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9F33_M_GgENQnZ6STMxVmVNd1E/view?resourcekey=0-eZ4nNRwRoqa1qvKlWWHm8A I cannot find the same diagram for the R33 RB25DET Series 2 dash plug pin out.... Do you know what the Pins? or know where i can find the same pinout diagram for the RB dash plug? Thanks for the advice on the box... i like a 6 speed so might be on the lookout or the box now.. a topic of discussion for another post...

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
