Hello everybody!

 I'm Juho, and this is my 1996 ECR33 Skyline, located in Finland! This car is my second R33 Skyline, (first one was with automatic gearbox, had it for year, sold it and upgraded to this!!) I have some experience with these kind of cars and RB:s, but I'm still learning something new almost everytime I do something!

Interior

Nismo speedometer, APEXi Boostgauge, Original seats and upholstery. Dash panel painted black by earlier owner. Sony DSX-A410BT with aftermarket 5,25" door speakers and 6x9 speakers back. Focus Chrome 10" in trunk playing low notes.

 

Exterior

Original S2 Bodykit, 16" Nissan rims (I hate them :D)

 

Engine

S2 RB25DET, Original internals, Hestec X32 ECU, Vag-coils, 3 inch Exhaust, EXEDY Clutch,  car made 326whp and 424Nm at dyno with original turbo! Also engine bay has some Cometic and Tomei Poncam stickers by first owner, the guy who sold this car didn't know if there is cometic headgasket or tomei cams really... :D

 

Suspencion etc. 

D2 Adjustable Coilovers, EBC Brakes, Original LSD, seems to be at good shape!

 

The car had some issues when i bought it, first of all the ECU:s fuelmap was bad and needed some adjusting, also front brakes needed to be changed. Also some rust-spots in rear fender and some small things to fix! I ordered new brakes from UK (Brembo Drilled and Grooved discs with Brembo pads), waiting them to arrive! Also car got tuned by Special Tuning Harinen! Here's some pictures of car, more coming soon!

I had little accident while ago, nothing too serious, only cracked my bumper and blinker/foglight cover. Also sideskirt took damage. I thought it's good time to do some bodywork now (rear fender rust etc.), because car need to see painter anyway?

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
