I've just called up about 4 different workshops to get an adaptor plate & nipple welded onto my intercooler pipe... I also searched (this forum) and couldn't find anything for Gold Coast.

They all say they don't do that "kind of stuff" :/

None can even point me in the right direction.. Like what the f*ck

Any help would be much appreciated!

Cheers

Try Adrian Brook 0414325460. He does all sorts of motorsport fab and machining work. He has a TIG welder, so should be able to do it for you (has built a fair bit of stuff for me over the years including alloy, mild steel and 4140) ). Last time I spoke to him (around 18 months ago) he had a workshop on Brisbane Rd Labrador near F1 tyres. I presume he's still there.

I've got a MIG and TIG, but can't guarantee I'd do a good job without stuffing it all up (not a qualified boily - only self taught)

Sweet, might give him a buzz tomorrow.

I work just down the road from there, so should work out okay.

Thanks.

Try Chris at CRG fabrications, 0420 613 662. He made my exhaust manifold and did a great job of it.

If you can't get ahold of him try Sean at EFI performance, I know they work closely with each other and are based on the Glod Coast.

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?

      Intro/R33 owner

      By f00stx · Posted

      Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).

      Second time Skyline owner (R33 GTS-T and now a V36 370GT)

      Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.

      I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
