Not RB powered (VQ30DET) but I had never seen one of these before last week when I saw this (actual) one:

out at uni and thought "wtf is that" and looked them up on the net...

Plus there's a newer one for considerably more cash:

Looks like they are both the same seller. Please note I am not affiliated with this seller nor am I trying to give him/her free advertising...I just thought this might be of interest to fans of the more obscure Nissan turbo models.

Thats Mark aka XVLeo on here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/me...ber.php?u=11390

The new one is his, I believe the older one is his brothers... He lived in .jp for a few years and brought the Y33 back with him...

I've had a close look at this thing in the flesh and it's AWESOME!!! No slouch and pimp as it gets...

This car looks awesome in the flesh. Mark's taken very good care of it and I'm suprised he's selling it.

We were discussing the night we saw it that it was very american looking with the rear lights.

I also like the look of the older Leopards. I'm wondering whether he will swap for a VL ;)

thats dam nice ! ....looks like a cross between a large silvia and U12 pintara/ maxima

because it is known and sold as a Maxima in the states...do a search online.

Certainly different, not a very popular car in Japan the late Leopard.

But the early Leopard was, if you can still find any in good nick. Certainly worth dropping an RB26 from the one I saw at the garage.

edit, was thinking of another which required modification to the firewall.

I like the 97 model VERY VERY much...

Y33 Leopards started in 1996 were all 4AT and powered by VG20E, VG25DE, VG30E, VG30DE, VG30DD, VQ30DE and VQ30DET.

You could say it was Nissan's car against the Toyota Aristos as they weighted between 1540kg - 1630kg.

There was also a RB25DET version with 4WD but she weighted 1700kg!

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
