I paid 550,000 yen for my r33. It was dead stock when it got here and was listed as a grade 4. Apart from 1 pin dent, which I think happened on the way here, it was a grade 4 car. Since then and a few australian carparks later its got 1 more pin dent, a paint scrape (that should polish out with a cut and polish) and a small dent in the drivers side door. I think I paid a pretty high price for a 94 dead stock car, but the condition is excellent.

Depends on the auction.

I looked at a supposed Grade 3.5 car for someone today and it had both 1/4's repainted and had a new beaver and repair to boot floor.

Jaa auctions are slack with there grading but USS are pretty good.

A new beaver? What the?

Cam, I'd do it again, but I'd make sure all the tools were there first:D

See'ya:burnout:

Rear tailight panel ( called a beaver by those who know..... )

Supposedly has 450hp atw but doesn't seem like it. Is the JUN engine but with a supercharger.

Engine was getting hot so AJ parked it. I would too knowing the cost of that motor.

430 odd at 6500, main problem is it was breaking down above 6500, seems to be either stuffed cam angle sensors(we took a spare, well swapped the one in the car on sat night hoping it would resolve the issue, but didn't, we never had time to test), or theres an issue with the motec not feeding it enough voltage, so the top end speed was reduced, as was using each gear to its peak potential..

we didn't make it there saturday as the car only first fired at 6:30 on saturday morning, and a couple of issues brough tuning to a halt early on saturday morning, wit the issues fixed aj tuned it sat night, well, tuned it to 6500 as it had the ignition issue above that, a few of us did a pile more work to it sat night to get it completely ready for sunday..

race one, the pivot starter switch jammed on, so after half a lap, rather than trash the os geiken flywheel and starter motor he pulled off and had it pulled back to the pits, replaced pivot switch with a normal push button switch found at the local dickies, fixed that problem, second race it had heat issues and rather than risk anything he pulled out, no need to push it, we wouldn't have won anything, and lost everything..

on its first ever lap it cut a 67 second lap, which is about 3 seconds off the front runners, not bad for a brand new car the owner hadn't driven more than 200 meters..

we'll be back at the next race with the issues addressed, and will hopefully be able to show the full potential of the car, it managed a 66 in race pace with traffic and was quickly catching the rx7 of kim ledger so we're happy, and the car looks and sounds awesome..

    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
    • the top black section is bonded to the silver section with some form of rubber. I assume to isolated NVH from the box
