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.

    • Or, the height of the release bearing is not correct for your combo. Start with the bleeding and checking the slave moves throughout its range when you press the pedal (2 person required), but it is possible for the height to be internally wrong too (box back off to measure.
    • Yes, there's quite a few things that can go wrong during a clutch install. Very unlikely. I have a similar clutch. They (ACS) make good gear. No, it is not normal. It is possible that you just need to bleed the clutch slave. But the new clutch will also have a more aggressive actuation force/pressure, and so your old slave cylinder might be a bit leaky or otherwise compromised, and not up to the extra force required. Or the master cylinder, same.
    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?
