Very nice ride! The colour is absolutely amazing.

Would I be right in saying that those photos were taken at Kingsway? If so, maybe my r32 will be rolling near there soon, I only live 2 mins away ;)

Yeah my mate owns the ultra tune there, so i was down getting plugs + oil changed.

The car actually looked a bit better before, then it does in those pics. Before compliance it had spotties on the front and clear indicators instead of orange.

I have to get all the dark tint on the back removed, and also jack up the suspension for the pits.

And they took my beloved xenon lights and put dirty halogens in :crazy:

Thought I recognized the doctors surgery.

I've got a 92 Soarer about to go through SEVS, should be a fun experience based upon what everyone else has said.

Did you get to keep all the goodies they took off?

Very nice indeed. As you can see by my Avatar, I have a 2001 R34GTX-T. Would be interested in knowing if your turbo has the metal/metal wheel inside instead of the standard metal/ceramic??

Yeah kept everything.

May want to double check if it is tint or the factory UV glass. The factory UV glass is very very dark but is not tinted. I thought I would have rego problems with it but as its not tinted and couldn't be removed they had no choice but to pass it.

I just checked and it says its UV cut glass, does that mean its not tinted? very cool if i can leave it... the back window looks awesome!

If it says its UV glass then it is the actual glass that is dark, there is no tint at all that can be removed. :)

They put a note on my rego inspection stating that it is beyond legal darkness but not much can be done because the rear windscreen contains the antenna so it is not likely that they will make you replace it.

      Never ending fuel pump drama

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      So last night pulling away from the lights, I lost power for about 1 second. Bit weird, but I kept driving... 5 minutes later the pump completely dies. When I tried to start the car, the pump won't even prime.  I left the car for about an hour, tried to start it and it all appeared fine. Pump primed, car started, got the fuel pressure I should have.... Start driving home, 5 minutes later it dies again. I'm stuck in a shit spot this time going up hill with a car right behind me, so I just let the car continue to turn over while praying to the fuel pump gods. After about 2 minutes of turning the engine over, the fuel pump came back to life and I got home (only about another 5 min away).  So I've been digging around online, it seems like the 525 fuel pumps really don't like to be run at 100% all the time. I've found quite a few examples online of people killing their Walbro 525 pumps within about a year of usage when they are run without PWM.  So, my pump is an Aeroflow 525 (AF49-1057) and I've been running it at 100% without PWM. I'm thinking the Aeroflow 525 didn't like being run at 100% and has burnt itself up.  I really am sick of dealing with fuel pump issues, my current thoughts are -  1. Use a Walbro 450 and run it without PWM. It seems like these pumps hold up pretty well to being run at 100% all the time. I only make about 350kw and can't see me making any more power any time soon so this is probably a fine option.  2. Get a Walbro 525, run it with PWM. I know doing this will annoy me as I feel like with only 350kw, its extra expense that I don't "need" and I'll be thinking the whole time while setting it up that I should have gone with option 1. I know I'll be happy with this option when its setup and running, its only the initial setup frustration and cost as an issue.  3. Get a Walbro BKS1001 brushless pump. This is the fu*k it I'm already going PWM, might as well go full retard. This option just seems better in every way, with the only downside being cost. But I don't know much about this pump so I could be wrong.  Happy to get everyone's thoughts before I go digging around in the fuel tank again.

      Like loud exhausts? You could be a psychopath.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Actually, it is probably pretty legit. I mean, it's still woke feminazi bullshit academia, but you would have to agree that it is very likely that there would be a correlation between wanting a loud exhaust and scoring at the unpleasant end of the scales for dark triad personality traits. The fact that they found it didn't correlate with narcissism and only with psychopathy and sadism definitely shows that the loud exhaust thing is more of a "f**k you" than a "look at me", and I reckon that rings pretty close to most of the dickheads who take it to the extreme. Remember, this is correlation with tendency to be closer to one end of a personality trait scale than the other end. Of course someone who is at the literal opposite end of the psychopathy scale is going to be so considerate of others that they wouldn't even think about wanting to upset anyone with a loud exhaust. So the finding isn't that "you are a psychopath". Just that you score more towards that end of the scale than someone who doesn't like loud exhausts (on average, not necessarily even for specific individuals).

      Blue Smoke from exhaust, RB25DE+T

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Stock R33 boost control, with the exhaust, and FMIC done, will boost creep. There is no tuning around it if it is the factory boost solenoid.   If it has an aftermarket electronic boost controller, the settings/mapping can be altered in it.   Oil could be anything as mentioned, however did it ever do it before you did the turbo swap? How much and how often did you drive the car before the swap?   I'm hinging on too much oil supply, or it's not draining properly.   To check, pull the air outlet off the turbo. Is it full of oil? Drop the exhaust at the turbo, does it appears to be oiled/coked? Now pull turbo and check the exhaust manifold, does it appears oiled and coked the same way?   Secondly, the PCV could even be stuffed / not functioning properly and will cause blowing of blue smoke.
