hey welcome.....

Im hoping that Blue GTR isnt the same one i was goin to put a deposit on...

Because i dont think were gonna get off to a good start... :rofl:

Good luck with the car, and hope to see you round.. :P

heh well it might just be. you didn't call the guy and ask to put a deposit on it only to find out the new owner was gonna take delivery that same day did you???

:) its a very very very blue gtr.

i've checked over it a little more thoroughly now and i've found a few bits and pieces that will need rectifying though... :)

left low beam likes to decide when it shines and when it doesnt and the frustrating "auto passender door lock" thing is even more crap cos it also decides when it wants to do its thing. i just hope i won't have to rewire the thing!

the factory boost solenoid has no vaccuum lines going into it so i'm led to believe its prolly running 4-5psi... its not as quick as i hoped, having poked it around a bit over the last few days... still nothing that a boost bleed or electronic controller wont fix...

but its in a good state of health other than that. its been driven hard, but feels like its been maintained with a bit of mechanical sympathy. compression test came up all good.

i gave it a few new filters and a fresh sump of mobile synthetic gold stuff today and its running much smoother now.

interestingly, its got 300zx airflow meters and a little sticker behind the kick indicating its probably been retuned (its all in jap apart from a date... '97)

i'll keep yo all posted as to how she goes at any rate.

i hope to meet you all soon!

welcome dude, hope to see you cruising around soon

 

left low beam likes to decide when it shines and when it doesnt

mine does that too, ive found youve got three options, hit the light gently with your fist, usually works, or play with the switch a little bit, (turn it on and off a couple of times), or you could hange the bulb, not a hard job on the left, but the rights a lil bit harder

heh yeah i expected a few little dramas... but its cool. fixing them and personalising your car is half the fun!

yeah considering getting the rims powdercoated in a shaddow chrome-ish sort of colour. i think white would be a bit full-on on such a blue car!... but we'll see.

first things first!

      This sounds like someone who would have owned an R33 in their past... It's okay, I'm 100% picking up what you're putting down Mark.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Just back on what was raised about jacking off the the tow/tie down point on the front of cars. I've used it plenty. I've also watched it on a car where you could see it move the front end of the car. It was like the front end/whole car being tweaked and twisted a bit. I will say, I struggle to find good jacking points on MOST cars. The ones that have good points, I then normally struggle to find a jack tall enough to make the car change height!   One of my go to points for either the jack, or the axel stands though, is either a suspension pickup point, OR a subframe to chassis major bolting point. I actually think its the subframe on my R33 that has a bit of a bend in it, from being jacked in the middle too. However, it could have been one of my many other cars I've had over the years! Or it could also be the from me jacking it up, and the fact the top of the front radiator support isn't there, so it can allow the front of the car to move and bend etc.

      My apologies. I forgot we were talking about weird beard M series stuff. Had been talking elsewhere with someone about an R33 with similar subject and got confused.

      Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway

      Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.
