Well guys I thought I've owned many cars but never actually done a build thread so thought here goes. This is my second 33 I've owned over the years. Ultimately I want to drift it at pracs and events etc.

I bought the car last month and got it quite cheap. Regoed and all for 3500 which my goal was to get one as cheap as I could

The ad that caught my attention

The day she came home

It was mainly cheap as the backyard paint job someone tried to do by making it matte white. But it went alright and I thought it was a good base for a little project.

The car came with a few little goodies. Had power fc installed but only on a base map, fuel pump, sway bar and strut brase.

I noticed driving it however that ride was incredibly bumpy. Like stupidly bumpy considering she didn't have coilovers. So jacked up the front and my suspicions were correct she had a leaking front strut.

My mate had a set of kyb shocks and lowered springs with rebound adjustment for $100 which would do for the mean time.

Was a good thing I got a full set as my rear struts had chopped springs hahah oh the joys and changed them all out. Also got a set of advan Tri spoke rims of another mate for $100, I know not everyone likes the tri spokes but I do hahah. As well thought I'd paint the bonnet black to break up this matte white paint job.

She's not perfect but she's a work in progress. All the a/c has been stripped out as well as the spare tyre etc. Every kg counts hahah.

So my goals/aims with the car would be to have a nice clean looking 33 that see's a bit of track time.

Want around the 400-450rwhp mark. Might seem a lot for some but coming from a turbo v8 with over 700 it doesn't seem so bad.

Picking up next week when I fly home a hi mount mani, Bosch z32, top feed fuel rail and a tial 38mm gate, not bad for $300 I'd say.

Still trying to decide on turbo setup though, I pick one turbo one day then change the next.

Hopefully next break will be welding the diff, have decided on a turbo and install some fender fasteners and also tinkering on some little parts here and there. Joys of FIFO with only one week out of three to work on her.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
