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.

    • This seems to be a very popular swap since all the turbo skyline prices went through the roof! I'll let someone more familiar chime in, but I understand that yes you probably want to swap the loom in to swap out the auto TCM stuff. You should not assume everything just plugs in either, you need to check at least the ECU wiring diagram for any differences at the plug at the left headlight and probably the ones near the ECU that join the dash loom too  
    • hows it fellas, my first post here which seems crazy cos half the forums i read are like the same age as me haha. to make a long story short ive got an r34 sedan (rb25de neo auto) which im swapping to a s0/s1? rb25det, r33 big box and nismo gt pro lsd. i have the motor and gearbox all bolted up outside the car, old motor and trans out. i bought the motor with stock ecu and loom, do i switch over to that? or will it be easier to get a r34 manual ecu and keep the loom if thats even possible.  also engine mounts look different, anything else thats different or incompatible? cheers, hope this all makes sense Paddy

    • Plan on the day will be to park trackside. Depending on space availability we will try put a small shade tent and a few of the cars on top of the hill inside turn 3, this is an easy to get to parking area with views of Turn 2, Turn 3, Turn 4 and Turn 5 and limited other pieces of the view around the track. IMPORTANT NOTE! One consideration from previous years is from memory the trackside parking sells out before the admission tickets, for that reason I encourage anyone planning on coming to buy tickets for parking now via the official website; https://www.worldtimeattack.com/ The type of parking you are looking for is 2 Day Park & View (Access Around Venue) Vehicle Pass Only Please note this does not include admission to the event itself, remember to grab that also, and kids under 12 get in for free!
