Hey Guys,

Driving along Spingvale rd this evening just after midnight, when a highway patrol officer, pulled me over. To cut a long story short, swollowed my pride, and was as courteous as I could be.

But $169 fine and defect later, I'm now in need of a stock R33 GTST cat back exhaust. :P Does anyone have one for sale in Melbourne, as I need to clear the defect like in two weeks.

I've posted this in the Wanted section, tho, I call on my Victorian colleagues to help me out.

Thanks heaps guys!

do a search in the vic section for "defect" youll find dozens of threads from people who have been defected, most of them asking the same stuff, where to get parts, how much to have them swapped, is my engine bay looking ok, etc, those sorts of questions. failing that check out the for sale section see if you can "borrow" from someone who is selling a stock item. also last resort you could try justjap, upimports, jap wreckers etc for a stocker model. you should be able to borrow / find one easily

what else is non compliant on your? changed bov? dead cat? boost controller? guages or anything? tyres ok? brakes?

G'day All,

Paulr33. Thanks for your feedback. I have done several searches across multiple forums, just being proactive and also asking out for any help.

But yes, valid point in making sure everything is ok. The officer last night, stated that I was co-operative, so don't have to go for a roadworthy, but basically aside from the exhaust, everything else is stock anyway! :D

As for where in Springvale rd. Between whitehorse and canterbury I think........ I believe it was the infamous one....... that has often been bantered around here in these forums. *sigh*

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?

      Intro/R33 owner

      By f00stx · Posted

      Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).

      Second time Skyline owner (R33 GTS-T and now a V36 370GT)

      Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).

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

      Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.

      I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
