this is my mates new car ,he just got it last friday thru imports 101

(finally after 4 months)

u cant get the real effect of the pearl paint but it is a pinky pearl with a tinge of purple on the top layer(mate calls it mauve)

it has a power fc ,

fmic, apex cams, fuel pump, ajustable suspension, shit load of gauges

18inch rims,

his old car was a holden astra so the transition to the r33 has been a good one

']we saw this car being unloaded onto the docks when it first arrived. I was trying to hatch a plan involving floating pontoons and jetskis to try and steal those rims!!! ahah

does anyone notice the missmatching bodykit colour look - it might just be my eyes but its the only thing i can focus on in those pictures

Hmm.. Looks ok to me.. Might be just the light reflecting off the bonnet that makes it look a little weird..

*Nice car dude.. :)

good eyes man ,your right the sides and front were damage

when it came off the boat ,so imports 101 organized

someone to paint it and they fudged it up

i told him to complain because they charged him $900

and there going to redo it .

the pics dont really show how bad it is but it really

brings the look of the car down

poor bloke has only had the car a week and has been riddled with problems

its got some huge tuning issues (boosting over 1.5 bar)

and imports101 dont know how to fix it

so they sent it to steve from the old sst (chriss mills)

and he said he couldnt tune without a hand controller

because he dosent know how to tune with a laptop

seems strange to me cause its a power fc , so i suggested hyperdrive and they said we can fix it no problem

indicators falling out of sockets

pipework popping off

power steering etc

everything can be fixed it just a matter of time

I think you will find he said is he needs a hand controller to tune it as he doesnt have the laptop software. I've seen him tune many with a laptop.

If he is having all these issues with things falling off etc - how on earth did it pass compliance... or even the pits?

your guess is as good as mine , when the car arrived it was driven of the boat not a problem ,

my mate seen and heard the car driving all was good ,

and then he tells me the head gasket was blown so imports

replaced and shaved the head ,then the car wouldnt start and ran like shit

thats when it all seemed to get real dodgy

allot of what was said to him from imports 101 didnt make

sense to me ,seems like there was a lot of stalling and bullshit going on

but i know for sure that that car would not of made it over the pits in the state it was in

are you sure?

are you sure?

the same thing happened when steve did my car he only used a controller no laptop ,

i went in with 330hp and came out with 269hp plus

1x stuffed apex solonoid

1x air con deemed useless

1x popping car with no mid range

not having a go at steve but i would have had a better tune

done if i had just driven it into a wall,shot the motor and taken it to kmart auto centre(this is my personel opinion of steves workmanship i cant vouch for the other cars he has blown up)

    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
