yea, someone spotted a black 33 on the side of the parkway, I figured it would have been you.. not to many black 33 with chromies on... sorry to hear that man :(

Finally gearbox is in and everything bolted back to where it was. It was late so couldn't take it for a test drive. Big thanks to 5hiv and Eiji for helping out.

Thats what we are here for help each other out :)

now i need to fix mine slowly

SkyWagon Rego Re-inspect PASSED! :banana: (cost $14.40 for a guy to walk out, shine a torch thru a rear wheel and say yep) :blink:

Also Wheel alignment done. Toe out was way out on both sides. More than 2mm on drivers side and nearly 5mm on passengers side.

Belco Jane Bob.

jacked the car up, about to drop the oil out, just making sure is Castrol edge titanium 0w-40 full synthetic all good to go in the 33? have a bottle left over form an oil chance on the fpv a couple of months ago

I wont be driving it to often, timing belt needs to be retention, will it be ok ? I have no idea when the last oil change was, it has a Japanese oil filter in it (imported in 05)

from everyone's comments its way to thin yea?

Edited by ..::R33GTS-T::..

I use... Ryco Z145A Oil Filter and Nulon 10w40 Synthetic oil. Nulon 20w50 in the Wags cooz it's old...

some say to go higher for Hot weather and Track. (as in 50 or 60)

yea I just got the z145a oil filter, I literally had the spanner on the sump plug, then thought I would double check... the only real how wether driving ill be doing in this sat... and no track days till I get my ps, it will be up for an oil change by then..

Nissan recommends 7.5w 30/40. Use 5w 40 or 10w 40, if its a shittier oil 10w 40, but if its like Motul etc you can probably get away with 5W 40. You need to examine your engine and see how much wear you have.Not all engines are the same. Check your compression and how much blow by you have to see what thickness of oil you should run. More blow by means your oil is too thin for your worn piston rings you will also get a lower compression reading. i use 10w 40 summer 5w 30 winter.

Started fixing my car and found out that the air con belt was smoking and i think the air con compressor is seized thats why when the engine tries to turn the compressor it smokes.

Have to change my fuel pump on the 33 me thinks..
Car seems to be chugging a lot and missfires these days.
Had a look over my notes and I haven't ever changed the fuel filter (last change was by dvs jez when the car was tuned)

    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
    • The fact that US/JDM plates actually fit the skyline bumpers properly is a big, big thing for me as they are the correct dimensions. Annoyingly you can't opt for a normal plate (or plate combination) in that size. You have to make up your own one, and at that point you'd still know it wasn't randomly assigned. 
    • Well, really, that's any ECU, because it's not so much the ECU that the tuner connects to, but a laptop that's connected to the ECU. You have to have the tuning software installed locally. The "remote" part is essentially just remote desktop (RDP) or VNC type access. Nevertheless, if you're looking to upgrade, then you're immediately in the Haltech/Link territory, both of which can be done by any number of competent tuners here in Oz. But without a dyno, you'll definitely also need a wideband O2 sensor fitted, and you'll probably be relying on "auto" tuning a bit, where you drive it around under various loads and then apply the corrections that the ECU learns (basically applying the fuel trims that the ECU has to do to correct the mixtures). Tuning the timing is a little harder. It can be difficult to trust the old OEM knock sensors on RBs, so it is definitely best to have someone who knows what they're listening for, with knock ears (a piezo microphone connected to the engine, and and little amp and headphones so the listener can hear the angry men with hammers who live in the engine). That is more difficult to do remotely, and I suspect the only sane way is to be quite conservative on timing. But that's OK. You're probably waaaaay better off with conservative timing where you are. What is the fuel situation? 98RON available? Or low grade jungle juice?
    • I see your point, I didn't think too deep into it, was purely focused on the price. There's no bad blood between myself and GSM, they acknowledged the price was cheaper else where and at the time couldn't match it.
