Nice wheels Chris, good choice.

Finished the majority of sanding.

As far as i can tell its ready for final coats (primer/sealer, colour, clears)

So no more block sanding. Only careful rubbing off the rough surface after each coat.

I will have to experiment on the spare bootlid and see if i can do the pearl the way i want.

Bootlid sanded ready for primer and experiments.

Washed everything, including all the sludge off the floor, need a clean environment for final coats.

Inspecting the car while its wet and found a dent i didnt fill properly. Hope its the only one, didnt see anything else that was too bad.

A quick fill and sand thisarvo and itll be fine.

Its not perfect, but it should be good enough. Getting it perfect would take an extra 80+ hours. But if i want to make it perfect in the future, i know the paint is ALL acrylic and i can just start blocking it back and go from there. I wont have to strip all the paint off and begin again.

I think id get a good straight shell for starters if i wanted perfection.

Gotta go to the paintshop, should have gone yesterday. Oops. :/

Replaced my intake gasket from plazmaman gasket to the stock rubber one as i think its leaking and now i gave up on it.

If any of you guys are running plazmaman intake on your R33 and could help me out.

Installed a plazmaman intake onto my R33 (Rb25det) and i think its leaking. It makes a noise while idling and when i put my hand on the intake the noise goes away. I had a plazmaman gasket in there and i changed the gasket back to the stock rubber one and now i have no idea why its doing this, or is it normal as i also have a 66mm throttle body.
Any help will be good

Flushed the radiator, gave her a quick wash, replaced the top screws on the radiator, cranked and not firing properly, checked the coil packs, used a lot of start ya bastard, put fresh fuel in, replaced the battery, then she was purrrrrrring. They really need their 12v to start properly.

Tomorrow, I'll put the new coolant in, give her a proper wash, then TRY to find a buyer.

Masked it up it up and went to the paint shop for final bits and pieces.

The guy said at these temps i might have to wait a few weeks before buffing. The longer i wait the better.

Oh well, ill just have to do some other things to it while i wait. Swaybars need re-bushing, diff seal needs replacing, brakes need a flush, pads and air deflectors, interior needs a clean up and making/repairing bits.

Hope i can get the clear on in the next 6-7 days and make it to Shannons open day.

Nice present rocked up at my door this morning from Hypergear!! :woot:

Got straight into installing it. Finished at about 5 this arvo haha.. Haven't managed to test it yet coz I lost just about all my coolant in the process.. So i'm faily keen for tomorrow..!

Yeah, I bought a blown turbo from a dude in Melbourne and he just dropped it off to Stao for me.

Yep still running the rb20 actuator. Means I don't have to bleed off quite as much with the ebc. Need to organise to get a tune now :D

Will be interesting to see what happens with Stock ECU and 10psi... Will it R&R???

Guessing you don't have the PFC in yet.

You gonna tune locally? Trojan etc?

Yeah will see I suppose. I've read anything over 10 with a hi flow will r&r but I'll find out and I can get back to you. Worst case I don't boost hard till a tune... :/

Yeah I don't know what im doing with the pfc so I'll leave that up to the tuner haha.

Planning on heading up to DVS Jez. have been in discussion with him for a little while now and he's been great.

YES!

Funnily enough, I have cut some (much nicer) woodgrain finish board at work to use as inside trim in the back of the wagon.

Will post pics when finished. :D

Yeah, try the 10psi and if it freaks out, slap the 5psi back on or even that with the old stock solenoid dealy earthed to 7psi...

could be interesting indeed.

I've always wondered whether the Altitude difference between coast and here would make a noticeable difference in tune also.

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
