Hey guys, just wondering if someone could specify if these pillars (http://justjap.com/store/product.php?productid=20583), are actual replacement pillars or just covers like the Nismo ones?

Cheers guys.

The issue was more that one side seems shorter than the other which is very strange, I'll put some pics up tomorrow and you guys can let me know what you think I should do haha!

Charles, I actually might be after getting some interior wrapping done shortly if you'd be interested in that?

So as you can see this is the gaps I'm talking about on the stock pillars. You guys reckon that by using the covers on them it would be able to cover over the gaps?

Just a suggestion, if they are looking a little worse for ware, perhaps wrap them, carbon look vinyl or even just a nice gloss black. A lot cheaper than those Karbonetic covers.

I had mine wrapped in a carbon vinyl, coming on 2 year and they look the same as when they were first put on... Can pm/post pics if needed :)

Hmmm... There's a gap because you don't have a rubber seal around the pillars?......

Hmmm just had a look on the net and couldn't see the seal that you're talking about, looked the same just the gap slightly larger. Could be wrong though was hard to get a good picture. Anywhere good/reasonable pricing in Melbourne that would redo these seals?

Can you pull the pillar covers off? I tried one day but ended up snapping one clip then gave up

Lol of course you can, but just have to be careful. But I know the r33 pillars are more fragile than the r34

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
