Oh, here is a photo of the freshly washed R33 4 Door, nearly ready to get some plates slapped onto her. (not embedding because the photo is huge)

Theres so much bird poo burn on her, as well as weird stains that I just couldn't remove and some weird blue-tacky glue stuff that's somehow leaked onto her. My current tools were not able to remove those.

Also plenty of scrapes and dings but hey.... the car was less than $3k and I'll sort those out in time.

Current plan: Mesh Grill, Remove rear Window Tint and Fit the Wheel Arch Guards. Then either drag my mate around to fix the Electrics, or if he really can't make it, drive the car to KYP, have them fix the electrics and prepare her for the pits.

Take Car over Pits, Get Licensed. If the car doesn't get licensed, fix whatever they want and take it back.

After that I need to save some cash, and then I move on to fixing the body and adding a few things (Reverse Camera, new Head Unit), and then we shall see about making the car perform better.

Not bad... For a 4dr

Reverse camera? Moar powerz!!

The car has a front mount intercooler, GFB bleed valve, Splitfires, Pod Filter. It's currently running the stock Turbo and BOV. It's also had the Oil Filter re-routed for easier access.

Here is a photo of the engine bay, taken just before I fixed the leak: http://i.imgur.com/8AMJuJm.jpg

Did I mention it was rebuilt 50,000km's ago and was resprayed candy apple red? along side all new piping (which was tig welded, but needs a polish).

It's plenty fast enough for now.

Truthfully, I have no idea what to do with the engine...bigger turbo? aftermarket B.O.V?, ECU + Tune?.. no idea yet.

Things I definitely want: Coilovers and Sway Bars, New Breaks + Rotors, Braided Break Lines.

edit: fixed some bad spelling

Def ask before spending on engine. Trap for new players is that many advertised parts on eBay etc are crap. Not crap built but design. Standard bov is fine

Many threads with newbies who bought a tone of cheap engine parts then join Sau to find out why their car comes onto boost at 6500rpm and only has 250hp, if it didn't blow up first

Good plan right there. 25's respond to minimal mods half the time, quality high mount/manifold/gate/exhaust/injectors/ECU. Got one down here putting out 600hp with standards internals bar head gasket and cams

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
