I also decided to get rid of the airflow meters,IMG_4845.thumb.JPG.f7bbe6cb9cbc2261a8255d24b1c5d712.JPGno because I think they're a restriction but just cause I could

Reason for the front bar coming off was fitting a new intercoolerIMG_4851.thumb.JPG.5e2b87f00f2766f404453245e396917c.JPGIMG_4852.thumb.JPG.1b12420b549c1f4fb39ddcf5e9ba2379.JPGwhich is a plazmaman pro series with the 76mm core because I didn't want to modify the front bar to fit it

So for what I thought was a bolt in intercooler took a lot longer to actually get on the car, the quality and mounting points were perfect but due to the extra width I had to undo the bumper support and move it out of the way and slide it all in togetherIMG_4855.thumb.JPG.5891ad1100e5196f9901b598eed75053.JPGand how close it is to the front support with it all fitted againIMG_4854.thumb.JPG.45b088bd2527286c408b7a10663adb49.JPG

Speaking of getting the front bar on that was a nightmare, I knew the r32 had less room in the front but I didnt know it was this much less.

Because I wanted to keep the factory mesh in there i had to trial fit the front bar and bend the mesh and try again, this happened about 6 times to finally get it right but was worth the effort

Didn't update this last week cause all I did was the wire the vcam and flex sensor into the ecu, plug the wide band controller into the ecu and ran the wire to the boot to switch the second fuel pump 

But this week I was a little more constructive IMG_4886.thumb.JPG.2c5678b60f910a407f156e7269beae42.JPGfirst took the discs off and sent them out to be machined

IMG_4897.thumb.JPG.611e9461c948db0ada023d1dced7782f.JPGback from machining and got some upgraded pads to fit as wellIMG_4929.thumb.JPG.50f9b0e38ee207f88488e73d79292d6a.JPGand all fitted 

Also grabbed some braided lines and fitted them IMG_4928.thumb.JPG.94b5f5003117e9afba5dd85e1227cf71.JPGdidnt get a photo before I put them on but you can see it there 

IMG_4930.thumb.JPG.fd47afb6e52b84d6f3c9722b3e5fd35f.JPGalso fitted a brand new r33 gtr master cylinder and replaced all the brake fluid,

turns out the plug for the fail light is different between 32 and 33 so will go to Nissan and see if they can supply a plug and pins set

Got a delivery the other day from Japan of corse IMG_4936.thumb.JPG.2d386248eb5641067cf762b2e968a35f.JPGIMG_4937.thumb.JPG.91ef7cc76a3d2dbc04dd8b2ca155f10b.JPGIMG_4938.thumb.JPG.aba4669831d8d3fce4d2dac7c9a9ba47.JPGand he first thing out of the box is an ard 150amp alternator, the original was only charging at 12.3v so with the extra load was only going to get worse 

Didn't get photos of it installed before I refitted everything including the radiator and coolant then I rechecked the running voltage and I won't need to worry about it again IMG_4942.thumb.JPG.7644f2ef39153931576f416bb280f556.JPG

    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • 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?
    • 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).
    • 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).
