Everyone wants to drag you off at the lights and overtake you.

I dont know about "Everyone" as Ive had my car for over 2 years and only once did a car try to drag me off at the lights. Would have been fine except for the fact that we were the second cars on the grid at the lights and the f**kwit almost hit the car in front of him.

my R doesnt draw alot of attention at all, but then again i didnt buy it for that, the V8 in an R33 drew lots of attention, wierd looks and both for and against comments and i loved just seeing the confused look on peoples faces.

NA_R33: I'll never live down driving your v8 R33 into your driveway and splitting the fibreglass front bodykit on what I thought was enough clearance... ouch :thumbsup: I hope the $$ covered the repair and its all sweet now. *never had a bodykit before* :Oops:

Lets face it though, the v8 has look at me written all over it ;)

I sold the Pulsar GTIR.. the guy picks it up on Monday.

Have you sorted out the problems with your GTR and that shonky car dealer?

You are correct i built the V8 to turn heads and thats exactly what it does. yeah the GTR is all sorted now and running like a dream, huge con, fuel bill.. but nah thats cool man, i had the kit on the car 2 days when i did exactly the same thing, the front bar has been repaired that many times its not funny.

So with that said, if anyone i sinterested in buying a truly unique R33 they should buy Johns. It has a 4.5 litre v8 infiniti engine that sounds unbelievable, like you are mark skaife at bathurst.

A truly awesome beast that has to be seen to be believed. Considering what it is, its a bargain. :thumbsup:

Just a pity he didnt want to trade for my little red GTIR I guess ;)

99% of people dont know the difference between a gts & gtr, they just call'em skylines
I'd say 99% of people don't know what a Skyline looks like until they see 4 circle brake lights at the back.

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
