Was installing friends turbo timer in R33 GT-R, took the steering wheel surround off, spliced the cables, hooked it up. It all worked as expected. So we were deciding where to locate the timer and he decided stick it near the ashtray, opened up the center console, guess what's staring at me?

Greddy Turbo Timer.

It was even hooked up, stealthy, not turned on, but plugged in :)

Story of my life.

In my old R32 GTS-t when i bought it 10 years ago (traded a year later), it came complete with a ceramic turbo wheel in the cat.

Then on i knew this car was guna be trouble..... boy was i right.

Safe to say, i no longer have this car lol.

found 4 x 10 yen coins under the carpet

and some tv antena's stuck on the rear glass with cables running to under the passenger seat

and factory xenons still fitted and not at all butchered!

Decat on my first skyline and in my new one an assortment of shit tools in the boot and some random wires under the passenger seat. Also found out from a mate who was drivig behind me that I had the skyline on the rear of the r33 lighting up which was cool. Also found out I had an awesome set of front and rear speakers.

I recently changed out my radio to a more up to date one. I have owned my R33 for a year now. I assumed the USB cable in the ash tray was for a MP3 player connection of some sort but never tested it out cuz I don't own one. As I was replacing the radio, I noticed the USB cord did not connect to the radio but kept going to somewhere behind the passenger side dash. Removed the glove box to find a Greddy eManage unit! Go figure...

Another time was when replacing the valve cover gaskets and found my whole entire head was built by HKS. They even have their stamp into the head itself.

Find myself pretty luck on this purchase since there's more top name parts on the car than what I've paid for the car.

recently went with a pressure washer under my car to clean the suspension area and to my surprise i noticed HKS springs. I have the car for 7 years now and never knew. And can't find any info about them on the internet. No wonder my car always felt so stiff on the road.

    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
    • Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, i will do abit more digging. I am missing a blue relay near the ECU connector... so i will chase that up in the next few days as well  
    • https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
