Picked it up on Friday. It still needs a fair bit of work (mainly mechanical) but thats half the fun. For the records it's a 94 R33 in Lambo yellow (Very nice paint job). Has a GTR body kit and custom white leather interier. All the black vinyl has been sprayed white and the dash surrounds are metalic silver. It also has the white glowing dials in the dash.

Mechanically it's got potential. Car was originally a non-turbo auto but has had a 95 series II RB25DET and 5 speed popped in. So far for mods it's got cat back nismo exhaust, monza blow off, larger injectors and a GTR pump. It runs like a dog and you can smell the fuel it is running so rich.

It's booked into MercMotorsports for tomorrow. Going to get a FMIC and PowerFC put in right away so it can be tuned to at least run nice. Will look at getting the dump pipe and boost control done soon after. Seeing the car was an auto I may grab a new diff too.

Does anyone know an auto elect who can calibrate speedos in Bris btw? Speedo is miles out due to the Man-auto conversion. Ohh will take some pics and post them.

Ahhhh I've seen that car around my travels on the coast... Used to have a bit "COMPLICATED" sticker on it...

Nice :D You won't blend in, in that beast...

33 speedos can be calibrated... Not entirely sure how but there are a bunch of jumpers on the circuit board for the dash once you pull it apart... Or you could just grab a manual dash cluster?

FMIC and PowerFC sounds like the right way to go... Dump and boost next... Tick :) You've got it all planned out! :D

Car is due out of the shop on Friday. The guys picked up a nice big list of other items that I needed to get done and convinced me to get most of the mods done now to save dyno time later.

I replaced alot of the pipes and belts, did full service and tune including clutch and brake fluids, The powerFC is being installed and having a custom dump made up and highflow cat connected to the nismo exhaust, FMIC is in with nice polished piping and did brake pads and had disks machined. Looks like it had 550cc injectors and does have the GTR pump so hoping I will get decent power with the stock turbo.

In saving mode now for bigger turbo and boost controller. Was going to install the in dash LCD screen and DVD player that came with the car (still in boxes) but decided on just putting a nice MP3 headunit in. WIll advertise the DVD stuff at some stage just to get rid of it.

Anyone got an idea of how many KW I should be making after all this? LOL I am just hoping that it ends up being faster than my old 180 sx.

RACQ can calibrate any speedo, they do it for a fixed fee too, ask v8skylineman, the cop who gave him a ticket refered him to RACQ to get his calibrated when jason asked him about it.

      I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
