I like to thank theo for "Misleading" me when i bought my skyline from brisbane street machines.

luckily he sold me warranty which paid for most of the problems i had.

I would REALLY like to thank all the guys and gals on this forum for arming me with the information to make a better choice next time. As well as the info to get in and work on my car myself.

theo, thanks for making s.e. qld proud for having one of these fast gtr in australia that is still driven on street :(
I'd like to thank Theo for providing me with a blown rb20det years ago to help me build my NA+turbo monster. Without him being the only bloke that didn't say "don't do it" I probably never would have stuck with Skylines.

I'd also like to thank Theo for breaking out at Jambo so us slow buggers got some more runs in :wassup:

Whats the problem with someone thanking sponsors for all the work they put into someones car ?    I think some of you are just jealous that you don't have the brains to build something like that yourself

Not jealous just amazed that someone can build such a good machine from the misfortune of others. Why thank sponsors when the car buyers (probably a few people here) actually payed for the car and alot of whats on it; and they are the ones reading this...

Wow its a fast car, personally my self respect and dignity is more important than a car.

That said; anyone could build that car with the equivelant money and sponsors, weather or not you could drive it properly is another question :headspin:

Yes its true that the cars they sell are way, way over average prices.. but lets not forget that these guys have a lot of overheads compared to when you import personally.

Especially when you have to consider that most of their cars sit on the lot for a very long time, when they do sell the car they have to have a lot of margin or they'll go out of business.

Some people like the convenience of buying frmo a dealer because you can have the car straight away and there is a warranty, but other than that the person should know better in the first place.

I remember walking into a certain car yard in brisbane *cough* two years ago with an ATM bank statement well into the six figures after selling a business and looking for a new car. I was pumped to buy an R33 GTR, and I couldnt even get into one for a test drive to see what they drove like because certain car sales people where too lazy to show me one and probably thought I was too young to have any money. The guys where impossible to deal with and didnt want to know me. Not a great business attitude.

And knore: 'anyone can build a car to go that fast with enough money and sponsors', theo has acheived a lot more than what most people with money and sponsors have been able to do.

With bitching aside, Congratulations on getting into the 9s on Federals, theo, respect for that.

I own and build the car myself. The car is not owned by Brisbane Street Machines, I bought the car from here. I work here i don't own the place. I thanked my sponser on the site because most of you want performance parts and if these guys can look after me then they can look after you at the right price to. I am sure all of you would like the go fast parts at the right price

Regards Theo

:)

Just remember that we are the only 2.6ltr ever in australia to run a 9 second pass

Care to share your experience? I have yet to buy car from street machines, But Theo was more then happy to talk GTR’s and performance parts forever and a day.

I know where I’ll be buying my R` from.

Josh.

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
