Hey guys and gals! I'm Gideon, pretty new to the forum. Picked up my 33 almost 2 months ago now and absolutely love it! Thought I better start a build thread before shit starts getting hectic :D

Picked it up for $6500 with a couple months rego, 132,000kms, I'm the 3rd owner in aus, few basic mods (FMIC, pod, exhaust).

The night I picked her up :)

Gave her a bit of a clean and took a couple pics with a half decent camera!

First week I had her I picked up a second hand set of pedders coilovers for $550!

I fitted them up along with some adjustable cambers arms all round... This was basically the end result. Got guards rolled, 245 rear tyres and wheel alignment and another 10mm dropped in the rear.

Went out and took a few more pics with new stance :D

Next mod was a Greddy Profec EBC! Installed her in a stealthy spot (boost gauge was mounted here by previous owner :S). Wound the boost up to 9-10pound (was hitting R&R with anymore) and was a heap better!

Then Picked up some Highflowed 550cc Injectors (Sold to me as Nismo 740s........). Still ok for what I wanted but not the point. Got them cleaned, rebuilt and flow tested!

IMG_20160419_362_zpsoidacnmv.jpg

Rear Hicas joints were fkd so thought I might as well just totally eliminate the Hicas system from the rear end and bought these. Still need to get around to putting them in when I can be bothered...

IMG_20160419_13184_zps9jhm4kw3.jpg

Was looking for a split dump for a while and then this came up for $100 so had to jump on it! Installed that and noticed a bit more low-mid range torque.

IMG_20160419_31209_zpsiaaoi0ra.jpg

Ordered these off ebay and got the trim colour matched! Turned out sweeeet!

Then this is where the good stuff started :D Picked up this bad boy for $1000 with lines and dump pipe! GT3076R EWG .82 rear....

Gave her a much needed service and threw the green shiz I got with the car when I bought it on! Doesn't look too bad...

Couldn't resist doing this....

That's all for now, but I have a CRG Highmount coming in the next few weeks, picking up a Turbosmart Hypergate 45 Thursday, ordering fuel pump and z32 AFM Plug next week then should be almost ready to go into the shop for a nistune and dyno tune!

Cheers Sinista! Really happy with it, can't wait to get the turbo on and tuned!

Couple pics of me and my mates 33... Heading out for a Mt Mee run!

When he wrapped it around a pole after the drags.... Lucky he is alive. You can only see the clutch pedal..

  • 2 weeks later...

Haha dam thats sweet, I've only blocked it off with a coke can :(

Little update, mani should be here this week, got myself some YJ's and popped em in. Did a comp test while i was in there too. Bit sketchy but all above board. Tested 170-170-170-155-160-155

awwwwwwwwwwwwww.... why did you get YJ?

They're ok as stock replacements, but once you start feeding boost and more dwell into the coils you end up with issues.

Only paid $150 for em ;) Guy I bought em off was running 300rwkw at 18.5psi so we will see how they go. If they can't keep up then I'll just sell em and get 2 more splitfires to complete my set.....

Still waiting on my mani from CRG... Almost been a month now, they have said it will be out their door on Tuesday latest. Then gotta throw mani and turbo on and customize my dump to suit new gate then send them off the be ceramic coated :)

Been talking with my tuner and decided to f**k the AFM off and go a HPX MAF with the Nistune, that way I'll be able to run a 4" intake as well. Need to find someone cheap to fab that up and also a new crossover pipe so it doesn't obstruct that high mount :D Tuner quoted me about $350-400 to do the 4" intake and weld the MAF bung on, need to get a price on the crossover pipe still.

I've also sold my 550cc side feeds and going straight up 1000cc Bosch EV14s with a Raceworks Billet Rail and Tomei Reg. Anyone know where to get some cheap plugs for the injectors?

nice man!

ever though about Plazmaman intercooler piping kit? (I can do better prices than directly with Plaz)

https://plazmaman.com/shop_itemdetail.php?itemid=153&cate=73

I run the same kit on my car, however no BOV at all.

In terms of plugs, try these guys:

or eBay US

Yeah I have but I'm not getting a new piping kit when I've already got one just need the crossover done. I won't be running a BOV either but tuner said it might cause stalling issue which was another reason for going the HPX MAF.

Yeah looks like I can get em cheaper locally. $45 for a set of 6.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
