Hi all,

i have had a skyline for nearly a year now so i figured its definantly time to put an introduction up!

around christmas time in 2012 i bought a white r33 gts-t for 7000...

at the time i diddnt think it was too bad a car, it had the following:

splitfire coils

big fmic (not sure on the brand)

cusco rear diff

coilovers all round (different ones on the front to the back)
r34 wheels

adjustable toe in/out on the front

rebuilt stock turbo (blew up about 6 months before i bought it)

electric hicas lock

3 inch from cat back and some sort of aftermarket dump into a 31/2 inch muffler

eventually i got fed up with everything and just bought a exedy hd clutch from the uk

just a tip, dont buy parts from overseas! especially if they are cheap with free shipping!

when the clutch arrived i relised that they had given me a hd clutch plate with a oem replacement pressure plate!

so it grabs fine as long as i dont bully it around too much :)

after that i bought some bonnet clips, found a spoiler in my mates back yard, and painted the r34 wheels and mucked around with the height a bit, this is the resoult!

thanks!

more recently i bought a greddy copy plenum (a huuge mistake)

with the install everything was going fine untill i started filling the new radiator with coolant when i noticed coolant pooling near the head on the plenum side F******K!

so i bit the bullet and bought a legit greddy plenum. which will of course be better off in the long run! and it came with everything needed for the conversion including all the fuel line needed and instructions on how to do it, even if they were in japenese!

ill upload more photos once everything is fitted :)

    • Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks 
    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
