Well I have decided to sell the R33 at the end of the year, because I'll be looking to buy a house.

Just letting everyone know in advance, incase they are after parts, I will be taking the car back to stock as modded cars are too hard to sell for what they are worth.

Parts that will be available are as follows:

Z32 AFM & Plug

HKS GTRS Turbo

Nismo 550cc Injectors

3" JJR Bellmouth Front/Dump pipe

Kakimoto Regu 06&R Cat Back

Apexi PowerFC with Commander and Electronic Boost Controller

Splitfire Coilpacks

Nismo Fuel Pump

Cold Air Box

HICAS Lockbar

Will post up closer to these parts being available. Just giving a heads up, as I know what it's like when you buy brand new parts and the next week good second hand parts become available.

Start saving! :down:

  • 2 weeks later...

31's driveable and seeing the odd short trip, lots of little jobs left though. Like paint/fit front bar, lip, roll and paint both rear quarters and paint both front guards; pull leaking front pipe off and get welded up ('perfect condition' secondhand BATMBL dump I bought for a fair amount of dough leaked from the word go around the wastegate pipe...), wheel align, solid subframe and diff mounts, and proper tune.

But it goes, skids and sounds angry, haha.

SO in other words look out the streets of Hobart :)

Picked up my new 040 from SPG last week so all that leaves is tuning of the blue bucket :)

Well, rear subframe bushes let go, ordered some new ones but got sent wrong ones.

Made some phonecalls and was told Nolathane were outta stock till mid July. Now I am told its mid August...

So I decided to pull the front end apart and replace the LHF Inner Driveshaft boot. Easy enough job, except nobody has a boot that fits... Spose my local Nissan dealer will tell me they are about $90 each and 4 weeks outta Japan next for a genuine one.

So the GTR is sitten on stands with bits missing everywhere and the Baskerville Hillclimb is on in three weeks. This will be pushin it to get everything here and done by then.

Dude that is F'n harsh!

What about the RB25 thats for sale??

Didn't want to go RB25 as none of my parts (cams, gears, injectors etc) would fit, would need a new ecu and turbo not ideal either.

I know the feeling, i order some gear for the FC from Rare Spares and they sent me the wrong items, when i rang to let them know they informed me that they didn't have what i needed instock and that it would be 12 weeks before they would have what i needed :rolleyes:

well, my mate fixed my powerfc so kermit is back in action! hoping to enter basky hillclimb too which should be fun :)

Glad to hear its all sorted, lets hope nothing else happens now :bunny:

Well thankfully I managed to fit the aftermarket boot to the driveshaft. Looks like it will work for now.

So as long as I can either get the bushes from Nolathane or temp up some "pineapples" I should be good for the Basky Hillclimb yet again.

The race is on, i have to remove old engine and put on stand to remove cams, injectors, gears and covers. Tidy up engine bay whilst its out and then when new engine arrives fit cams, injectors, gears and covers before dropping that back in.

Have to fit 040, new seat/harness and harness tabs and then tune it so i can make the hill climb :(

Racin before the event and all... thats competitive.

Well I just selected another gear, bush kit arrived and was the correct one this time.

Just arranged shed space, as mine is full at the moment, for this Saturday to fit em all up.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
