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.

    • Yes, I had ordered the spherical bushings at the same time as the rest. I have high hopes for the anti squat reduction kit. 
    • Make sure you use the spherical bushes** on the lower arms, ifyou do that. ** at least, if not the whole replacement lower arm.
    • The tap for coolant flow control will be stuck open. It's not just the air door motor that dies.
    • Not really, but the heater box is pretty simple mechanically....if the door is one way the air bypasses the heater core and if it is the other way it goes through it for warm air.  If you are sure the actuator you moved manually is for the heater mix (there would also be one for output air direction) then I'd take the heater box out and see what is happening (you'll have to regass and re-coolant the systems afterwards) BTW pp724 onwards from the GTR workshop manual cover the system in good detail, it is probably worth checking. I think the IAT sensor might be a problem electrically for getting cold (if you got 24 error code not -24 it thinks the incoming air is -50c) and it covers how to test the sensor (although most likely it is either not plugged in or a wire is damaged)
    • Use the GKTech subframe bush and bring your subframe 10mm closer to the chassis. You'll need to fix an exhaust hanger to suit. One of the best mods I've done.
