Hi guys, I've done it again. Gone and bought myself a skyline. My old r33 was sold a few years back to make way for a hsv grange but since then I've come to realise the error of my ways and have just bought a series 1 R33. For quite a good price I might add. This car has been bastardised ALOT! It has bits missing off it (like the emissions section and the a/c) and needs a lot of things replaced but the body is straight with very minimal rust which is a great sign. First on the list is a new turbo, Inter cooler and heater hoses as well as exhaust manifold gaskets.

One other annoying part to this car is that the boot lock is missing and the cable isn't connected properly so that's a job for next weekend..... Maybe I might be small enough to fit through the gap? Maybe lol

Anyways, looking forward to chatting with everyone.

Thanks Loach. Yeah well I believe I have to put the carbon canister in for the roadworthy and as far as a/c is concerned I may as well do that at the same time as it's all in that area. I took the top radiator hose off tonight and it is so rusted up top of the manifold. Good news is though is that it appears to be a fairly new radiator on it so I won't have to replace that for a while.

I have also discovered a spaghetti mess of wiring under the steering column and where the head unit hoes so that might also be a next weekend job to tidy that up. I spent most of today removing the carbon fibre contact that was held on by contact adhesive :/ it was all over the interior. Gah!

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
