Where to start....

Well cutting a long story short. Younger brother comes home one day and says he is buying an R33 GTST.

So as competitive as brothers are, I had to buy one as well.

Skyline No 1.

The idea for this car was something fun to drive around on the weekend, hit up a couple of track days here and there.

Yeh well that didn't last long at all.

First DECA was hooked, must do more track days.

Started off with a japspec cat back, that is it. Then after a couple of track days realizing it's got to be better than this.

It became.

- fmic

- pfc

- front/dump

- cat

- greddy type s coilovers

- whiteline swaybars

- seat, harness bar and harness

- radiator, oil cooler

- diff

- better tyres (RSR's)

After that and with 190rwkw I though the thing was a rocket and I'd never have to touch it again...well.

We did everything at home in the backyard, except for the engine and box swap.

The engine from No 2 went to a good home. Now in Josh's track white 32GTST.

And at the same time give the brakes a little more power.

So that pretty much covers off 2009.

This was actually October 2009.

After russman had done a drift day and taken the front bar off on the wall.

One of the only standing start supersprints I've ever done.

So reshell time again.

Found a very clean car this time around, low km.

So we kept the engine and box, the diff was also a mechanical so we left that in there.

- new radiator

- new oil cooler

- swap in suspension, brakes, camber arms, harness and bar, gtr wing, exhaust, turbo etc

- new seat (other one broke)

This time around, more grip is required.

17x9 + 22 all around

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
