G'day,

Well after months off the road waiting for parts, It looks like the

R33 should be up & running again soon.

The Holinger 6 speed will be here next week, the new custom driveshafts have been heat-treated & are ready to pick up, & the new clutch center to suit the Holinger splines will be arriving from

Japan any day now.

I have bought new MoTec ignition coils(the almost brand new Nissan coils are for sale if anyone wants new ones) & the car will be going into Tilbrooks(the car's second home) on Monday for the

new parts to be fitted.The different coils will have to be mounted

on the firewall (have fun Mark), the Holinger will require a new crossmember to be made up & the digital gear position indicator will need a suitable spot on the dash.

I have had the R33 GTR wheels polished & will get the Nittos fitted

next week ready for racing.

Looking forward to driving the car again.Has been a long time between drives(only driven it 3 times this year so far!!!) & I will

need some practice to get used to the Holinger gearbox.

All good fun though.Be interesting to see how it goes when we put some boost into it(have only run 1.4 bar so far) & also how well the new Nitto tyres hook up.

:burnout:

See you on the street.

Well done mate, hope your planning to chase after the record. As for me i'm awaiting my black cefiro to come early january. Fingers crossed, hope i get the bugger of a thing. Funny thing is, your holinger is worth more than the cefiro itself.

By the way, I like the two cars on this months HPI magazine cover. Looks familiar dosn't it?:D

Good to hear all is progressing well mate.

What are your plans for hitting the strip again? Heading interstate I'm guessing? If I'm not mistaken AIR is offline to ALL until Feb next yr, due to the new management/owners, & being upgraded to ANDRA requirements.

This means the Dec 7th SM is cancelled :) Which bums me as I was ready to run with my RE540S going on on Monday.

Hopefully AIR will be back better than ever in Feb03 :uh-huh:

    • Hey guys I have a 2001 Nissan stagea vq25det, I don't have any engine lights and not really any issues running but I was curious to see if I could use my obd II scanner to find anything that was hidden and I plugged my scanner in and it just said "Low voltage cannot scan" does anyone know how to fix this or what this could be?
    • Sadly we have something in common, our Skyline's like blowing up electrically 😢
    • So, no videos, but, the FAB9 Elite manifold and 68mm Bosch throttle bodies are in stock, but, not the rear part of the air box The FAB9 rear airbox thingie is made with a 3" intake pipe, to suit the 3" intake pipe size of a 68mm throttle body  When they get some more in stock is currently unknown as I'm waiting for FAB9 to reply with a ETA on resupply, my assumption is they outsource their plastic printing stuff to "china", and with the current "tariff war" going on in 'Merica it could be on hold for an undisclosed time Should I pull the pin on the Intake and throttle body, and wait for the airbox?????, that's what I'm thinking... 1. Would the standard 2.75" OEM intake on the air box really be that much of a restriction compared to the 3" naturally aspirated?????? 2. If I don't get the 3" FAB9 airbox fitted at the same time as the intake and throttle body will it need a retune, when/if it eventually turns up?????? As I'm impulsive, to a fault, decisions will be made within....."what's the time now"???....let's say 12 hours......LOL
    • yeah its just so expensive nowadays and its easy to lose motivation very quickly when you start adding up the costs. I acquired the car from a collector in Melbourne and was lucky to get the opportunity to buy something already completed.  I looked at a proper resto and your paying over 300-400K for a proper one (nut and bolt) so this one to me seemed like a much better option! Car is in private storage and for serious buyers, welcome to come see it/drive it in person (photos don't do it justice).
