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.

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)

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
