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:

    • Waaay ahead of ya....(evil laugh!!) Will show the fitment and spec details later when it isnt as rainy !
    • Thanks Dose.....    I appreciate it!!
    • I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.
    • I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.   
    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
