Hello,

Had a peak around and havent found any info on where I could go to get a recently purchased R33 GTR intercooler tidied up and made black again. Previous owner has sprayed the front silver. its a bit dagy all round, so I want to get it stripped right back, and a nice new coat of black go on (stealthy) Hopefully they can neaten it up a bit where its been knocked around. I've had a bit of a play with a screwdriver with the fins, getting them back into line. so can anyone suggest where I could go? and possibly idea on cost?

Kind Regards,

Steve

I remember reading an article a while on the autospeed website where a an intercooler had its paint chemically stripped. The business was located in Adeliade but im not sure what it was called. Ill see if can find it again.

Hey,

Try asking a crash repairer where to go to get panels dipped. There is a place in Wingfield somewhere where a mate of mine got every removable panel stripped and then electroplated with an anti-rust coating and finally Etch-primed.

I'm sure these guys would do something for you, I just can't remember the name. Think it was Midas ??????? but not sure at all.

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
