The install looks realy great... but

How do you change the bulbs? have you got pull out pannels etc??

Thanks Dean

Change what bulbs? The rear lights? Well the trunk is made up by sections, so the section covering the rear of the trunk can be removed to display the rear bulb holders.

I dont know what you mean about "pull out pannels etc"? ;)

To ALL,

I didnt do it at the time of our stereo install,however i came up with the idea after and one of the lads in our club did it to his '33 prior to fitting up his install.Got you wondering what i'm talking about?The idea is so simple and not too much harder to achieve-------cut out the spare wheel well in your boot turn it upside down and reweld it back in place.Took a couple of lazy hours to complete on a sunday.You still have ample space for a serious install and can fit a space saver under the car for your long cruises and interstate trips.

Regards,

I have no room for a spare wheel. I have my spare wheel on a can, so to speak. High preassure foam. :thumbsup:

Ps. About the peach-colored R33, he is known as "SkylineMecken" at the forum of www.skyline.se ;)

Just wondering how you went installing the Pioneer AVH head unit. I got mine installed but in the skyline the oustide bracket/cover/plate doesn't seem to fit very well. I shaved down the sides so now it slips in & the top can clip in but it looks like the bottom is a bit low now too. So only the top seems to clip in.

Just wondering how you went :P

Cheers,

Im sorry I dont have any buildpics from the head-unit install. But all I can say is that it sticks out a bit, I will try to take a good picture of how it looks more in detail.

got a few questions for ya mate first off

what did they use to mold the carpet is it fiber glass or plaster

how did they get the mold out once was dry did they just cut out the few sections and pulled it out cause i thought it would have been screwed down did you have to get the screws out as first and how hard was that

was is hard to cut the sections out with out damaging anything under neath

i ask because im about to atemp this myself very soon and it seems like the best way to do it but i basicaly need to know what was it molded with and how did you get it out of the boot once was dry thanks

Thanks.

The system is built for quality sound (but I did a test with just the trunk subs, measuring inside the coupé of 129 db). Now the back seat has gone and it is playing alot louder, not measured though, but it sounds great!

First wood, then fiberglass and then glue to hold the carpet against the shape of the fiberglass.

The sections were made separately and placed and screwed together, so it is easy to remove for service/update.

      Decided to upgrade my pressurised plastic coolant expansion tank for a fancy pants alloy version The OEM versions can get brittle, even the new plastic one I got when I first got the car is a starting to show signs of "stress" I wasn't cheap, but it is basically unbreakable

      RB25DET Neo Rebuild

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Morning all, I have an RB25DET Neo that's in need of a rebuild. Will need new pistons etc due to detonation damage. Would anyone be able to recommend a shop in Southeast Queensland who I could bring my long motor to for a rebuild? Just want someone who knows RBs and whos built a bunch of them before. TLDR - recommended engine shops for RB rebuild.

      Gday Thought it was about time I started a build thread! As expected this project has snowballed into a huge financial liability, but unless you’re strong willed and responsible, it’s not a surprise. Background -  My first turbo car was an R32 GTS-4, got my full license and then totalled my Au Falcon a week later, so while trying to sell my RMZ450 dirtbike to buy another car a bloke offered to swap the R32 which at the time I felt like I was ripped off but looking back and seeing prices of those now ($40kish) it was a good deal, I didn’t know enough about these cars to appreciate what I had so sold it before the RB20 blew up. Between here and there, out of 12 cars I’ve owned the note worthy ones are a V8 Lexus SC400 (soarer), a couple of XR6 Turbos and my beloved S15 which I had for about 3 years, picked it up for $12500, repairable write off but she was fine, gun metal grey/pewter and bone stock/unmolested until I got my hands on it. Ended up spending about the value of the car and 280kw, 2 demerit points by the time I got defected and sold it for $14500 (also $40kish in today’s market, rip) Fast forward to the present day, I’m in a much better position financially and daily an MQ Triton (great cars, pipe down Ranger Bois), I cruised marketplace and car sales for a few months looking for another R32, the best deal I could find was an absolute rust bucket half finished project for $12000, until this R33 popped up in Port Macquarie for $18k - unregistered and barely running but decent shape, kept an eye on it for a few weeks and the price steadily dropped, $16k then $15k then $14k, that was the point where I was like shit someone’s gonna snatch this up! It was owned by a young bloke who had big plans but him and his missus just had a baby so smartest move financially for them but big gain for me. So 2 days later I’m towing a car trailer to pick this thing up. Roughly 2 weeks and $3500 later I’m cruising around Newcastle in my beat up R33 all smiles and dose noises! It only needed some basic shit to get it going, coil packs and air flow meter, electrical stuff and all fluids changed, 158k kms and running pretty good, nice smooth engine after oil and coolant flush - when I say coolant I mean it had been filled up with tap water, every gallery and heater element was filled with rust, 8-9 flushes later and still had brown liquid coming out but she’ll be right. The car was painted R34 Bayside Blue at some point but whether it was a cheap job or just not looked after is anyone’s guess, clear coat flaking like sausage roll.  Was rethinking my choices and contemplating life, had it up for sale for $22k - still cheaper than any registered R33 but got little interest, next minute I had an opportunity at work - 6 months overseas for good money, so that was a no brainer, fast forward again and here we are with a 50% finished project. Current Mods - 200ish KW according to butt dyno Was tuned with Apexi PowerFC EBC (old school Greddy Profec)  Stock turbo (more shaft play than a Tinder date gone right) 3inch turbo back Varex muffler  Aftermarket injectors of mystery size, Power FC showed 36% duty cycle at full boost so not behd good size Someone had good intentions but stuck with the stock R33 MAF so we had misfires at 6000rpm due to the MAF hitting 5.2V So far I’ve redone the entire interior with carpet form Car Mats Direct, new Seats and steering wheel from Autotechnica, also sound system by Autobarn (mainly Kicker) Also MCA pro comfort coil overs - Hands down best purchase yet, worlds of improvement over the tired 30yrold shocks Goals - 450kw/600hp on flex tune New paint job - Midnight Purple 2 Engine is at the shop getting rebuilt with forged rods a pistons, new valves and springs, ATI Harmonic balancer, Aeroflow 7.5L sump, rear head drain and oil restrictors as per oil control thread* and cam covers modded for larger breathers, other stuff I can’t recall of the top of my head Parts purchased and to be installed once the engine is done -  Engine loom from Wiring Specialties including these options: Haltech Nexus S3 R35 Coil pack conversion  PRP Dual Trigger kit Fan controller  Other Parts -  262 Kelford Cams Turbo - Hypergear ATR43SS3-ProS with T51R mod (whistly boi) 6 boost manifold (high mount) 50mm Turbosmart Pro gate (plumbed back for legal reasons) HKS Super Turbo Exhaust with High Flow Cat Custom 3.5inch dump and front pipe 1500cc Bosch injectors  Fuel Pump walbro 525 Haltech MAP and IAT sensors Haltech Flex Sensor Fenix Radiator with dual thermo fans LS1 Alternator Kit Oil Filter Relocation from EFI solutions and Cooling pro oil cooler Many other things sitting in my garage waiting for that engine to come back. Progress pics to follow -

      Losses have to be less with DC coupling. Provided the battery inverter has decent MPP tracking ability - which really shouldn't be a problem. It's not 2005 any more.
