Yeah cant say I'm a fan. looks budget drifter. IMO with all skylines, less is more (most of the time). I think a stock rear bar with type M skirts and a GTR Style bar looks really neat on a 32. And the carbon rear Diffusers can look really good also, especially with a big wing. stick a Delta style (z-tune style) bonnet on it (fibreglass versions are quite cheap) and it would look a bit neater and a bit more circuit spec!

well.. im not gonna gonna use the side skirts of the new kit or rear bar as yes, it makes it look spastic spec lol.

gtr front bar... eventually.. id only have it for eventual targa regs as with skirts and rear bar.

not a whole fan of the gtr look on a gtst as i mentioned before :blink:

bonnet i want is an AB style front bar. ( the one with 3 vents in the middle)

Front end repainted and refitted finally, car drives now, lots of little things to sort but 90% big stuff done. Mechanically just need to fit cooler and tune.

Anyone got a stock R33 GTS-T cooler? I need the pipes off the back of one so I can fit my 34 GT-T cooler up.

GTR is currently in the garage undergoing some minor upgrades.

Turbos coming off to be replaced with a pair of new GT2860R -5's with some Tomei Expreme Dumps.

ViPec ECU is in and was running well until I decided it was time for the turbos to go.

New Castor arms up front, camber and traction arms in the rear. Camber arms for the front are currently being fabricated.

While I am doing this figured I may as well throw in a new Gates timing belt kit along with an N1 Water Pump. (Yes it does see a lot of track work so its worth the extra)

So, looking forward to the Highclere Hillclimb on Feb 13th. Should be a good shakedown for it all.

Be good to see you back up here. Heard from Jamie the other day who let me know he cant make it now... Pity, but at least I get a free shot at beatin his time now. lol (like thats ever gonna happen)

engines in and running. fresh engine started first turn of the key. it did however run on 5 later found to be a faulty spark plug.

the throttles and a few tweaks to the head have made it use a different part of the map on the power fc so its off to the rollers for a base tune then run-in and back on the rollers for a power run. im very keen to see the difference. i havent changed to many things but hopefully just the right things.

what hill climb are you going to in Feb Funz and what date?

heading up to highclere again on feb 13th ish... just waiting for apps to be put on the site :-s

update for me: plan to cage the car soon and hopefully new pair of seats for it :-) so thats stage 1 of prepping car for targa :-P lots of stages to go lol

well, car has got some stuff done to it over last few days ;) new rear traction rods, rear tie rods, hicas bar in, adjustable castor rods and rear upper adjustable arms :-)

getting some fiddly things fixed up as well, and hopefully fine tune is done too :-)

just gotta organise things for when rollcage gets put in and hopefully can arrange a respray while car is stripped and windows are out :-) *cough* jack :-P

I just put similar stuff in mine.

Who's setting up your suspension now?

I just did a wheel alignment on mine after putting all new adjustable stuff in there and what a difference its made. Its actually drives out of corners now instead of wheel-spinning, which has the horrible effect of making it feel like its lost a heap of power.

Cant wait to get down south and get it tuned now. Its running that rich at the moment that the brand new plugs lasted ll of 80 klm before they fouled... :-(

well at this stage gonna get Bridgestone select to align it and adjust camber and stuff, then going to get goodyear prob with their new cool alignment rig to properly align it :-)

car will be getting light load tune as well and high rpm adjustment as still running a little rich !

Oh, just a little shop in Moonah. ;)

Heard nothin but good reports from people who have had their cars tuned there.

Only issue is he has to learn the software for my ECU, but he downloading it and sorting that so he has a feel for it before I get there.

I even emailed him a copy of the tune currently in it so he has a good starting point.

I heard of a 33 GTR that was tuned there last week, same turbos as mine, put out 460rwkw atw on 24psi.

There is another 33 GTR getting round Hobart as well apparently that put out 440rwkw, think hat was tuned at the same place also.

Thats enough to convince me... ;)

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
