Everyone please check their PMs in about five minutes.

I will be placing the order on my subbie this Friday before I got back to Noumea for another week.

Means I should have the parts back to me within a week, then getting the bending done the first couple of days the following week.

Payments now due.

Okay gents, heres the low down.

I'm going to have the first batch of Nismo guides made up, then I'm going to butcher the 'work-shop hack' guide I have here and make sure 100% that it fits the standard bar. I wouldn't want to make a bunch up and have to angle grind them to fit, because that would be crappy!

That means that those with standard (and aftermarket bars) will have to wait a touch longer, but it means you will get a perfect guide, not a 'suck it and see' guide.

Bear with me, as the wait will be worth it.

I promise to have them done as quick as I can.

Could you please photograph the front bar for me.

Also the bonnet where the radiator guide will be going.

ASAP please, as I need to order the panels at the latest tomorrow.

For all others, the Nismo bars will be bend up today, and ready for delivery any time.

I will photograph it on my car when its done.

I'm then flattening the 'workshop hack' version to make sure my calculations are correct for the standard and aftermarket bars.

I'll keep you posted later today.

Shipping wont be too much.

I'll be putting on the work account which means pretty low prices.

I will be wrapping them quite severely in cardboard and bubble wrap to make sure they dont get bent.

I'll get quotes from TNT and let you know.

Erik.

I thnk the best thing I can do with your guide is to make you one just like (GTTR34) who has an URAS front bar.

From what I have seen of the fronts bars (Nismo, Stock, URAS) is that the front of the aftermoarket bars is very similar to the stock bar. The edge of the URAS bar needs a little section removed which by the photos on your dar-domain website looks like yours will too.

The stock bar comes forward from the radiator support bar, where the nismo bar actually goes above that bar.

I cannot gaurantee 100% that it will be 100% perfect, but I think it will be damn close.

I will be cutting the rest of the panels late this week.

I wil recieve the finished guides for the nismo bars today, and I will photograph them when I have them.

That's when I'm going to butcher the old panel to make sure all will be good with the profiles I've already devised.

Almost done ppls.

PS. My next group buy will be a replacement pipe (made from alloy) for the AFM to turbo snout. I've been wanting to do this for ages and haven't had the time. I'm thinking of doing one also for the R33 and R32. Kit will included all clamps, silicone and ally welded pipe.

So, any interested?

This afternoon.

Or tomorrow morning.

See the above post though. I think the URAS guide (which is identical to the stock bar, just with a little snip from the edges) will be fine on the C-West bars.

Any interest?

I was asking about these back in Feb 2003! Check thread:

AFM to Turbo air intake piping one of my first threads :D

YES I am interested, there may be some useful replies in that thread BASS, particularly regarding having flexible hose / joins at each end!

Let me know how she goes. Also, how are the standard bar radiator guides coming along?

:rofl:

    • 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).
