Hey everyone!!! I just thought I'd share my ride with you guys. Got it in July and it's my first turbo. Owned 2 a 2000 Honda Prelude 5th Gen and a 2007 Camry Sportivo before this.

I'll be updating this hopefully often and hope you guys enjoy it :D

Current Mods

  • Pod Filter
  • 18" x 9 (I think) Speedy Rims
  • Optional R33 S2 Front Lip
  • White Climate Control LEDs
  • Dildo Gear Stick :P
  • Boost, Oil Temp, Water Temp & Volt Gauges - Need some pillars though and a bit of help getting them to actually work. At the moment just for looks :)
  • 3/4" (Don't know because came with the car when I bought it) turbo back exhaust with dump pipe
  • Front Alpine Speakers
  • Aftermarket Pioneer Head Unit (Looks gay)

Planned Mods:

  • Blitz Intercooler
  • Rota Grids (Black or Silver) - When I need to replace my tyres\
  • Roll guards
  • GTR Rear Spoiler
  • Front Bumper & Hood Paint Touch Up (Not really a mod but you get what I mean)
  • Fix and get the gauges working PROPERLY
  • Racing Seats (Will I need new rails?)
  • New Headunit - Alpine (Maybe)
  • Subwoofer (Maybe)
  • A shiner muffler (Mines a bit dull at the moment, but this is also a maybe)
  • White LED Conversion
  • Bigger turbo - IF my stock turbo dies which I hope it doesn't
  • Heavy Duty Clutch

Alright so I'm contemplating on getting a new hood, preferably carbon fibre, but does anyone know whether thats legal anymore? Because I've heard bad things when carbon fiber shatters on impact.

Yeah, pretty sure they're illegal in WA mate unfortunately.

Good work on purchasing the 33, looks clean and I'm sure you'll love it!

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
