going nowhere finding someone to weld up the 31

seriously considering siliconing up the holes, keeping the metal i've shaped and welding up when it goes back to qld

in the process of regoing the r31 today and stumbled upon this

"Can an unregistered vehicle be towed?

A permit must be obtained even if the vehicle is being towed by a registered vehicle, unless the registered vehicle is a tow truck."

http://www.transport.tas.gov.au/registration_information_tas/short_term_unregistered_vehicle_permit

what the?

also, i thought you could just drive your un-regoed car around IF you were getting it fixed/going to the pits, but on that it says you have to get the permit to do it!

Big ooops if you can't because the car may be getting a road worthy cert as we speak :ermm:

If you are going to the pits/inspection you don't need a permit. But you do need to be booked in, and heading the most direct route there.

i gave my self some inspiration/motivation thanks to a sleepless night and photoshop

I have a roof wing for a 33 at home, nice shape. Not really sure I want to sell it but it looks silly with a rear series 2 wing and I don't plan on ditching that anytime soon. If you would like it offer me some street credits and it could be yours.

Eoi on a few parts i have laying about: r33 pfc and 550cc injectors 1k or swap for wheels or coilovers to suit ceff or r32 , r32 brakes and rotors 250? , rb26 twin aftermarket stainless manifold and twin td05 turbos with dump pipes $800

  • 2 weeks later...

SAU tas is dead atm, so here's some more of my shit. nowelly, look away now.

made my splitter end plates/fins.

made my blank plate for my dash where the head unit used to live.

made base plates for some F1 craft square style carbon lightweight mirrors. (still have protective shit on) - black polly carb.

and didnt take pics but made up some carbon sheets that cover the OEM wing holes in the boot, going to fit some 300mmx300 carbon base plates to the boot under the wing also. even tho i have braced the boot/wing with 3mm wall ally RHS, bit of added rigidity wont hurt. will eventually get myself a carbon flush fitting boot, but that is going to have to wait til more important shit is bought.

lexan screens wont be too far away. couple more weeks.

I also got some new hole saw bits and decided to cheddar cheese my door frame. using both 52mm and 32mm saw bits. did 31 holes, to removed a grand total of 100 grams. um, think i'll stop there at best i'll get another 100 grams out (of the passengers isde door). total waste of time and effort. only way to make enough difference would be to remove the oem intrusion bar, cut the entire inside section of the door frame out remove window reg and run permantenly fixed lexan screen with NACA sliders. bugger that, i'll run lexan screens but i'm keep my elec. window regs. will save around 1 kg per side on the mirrors. carbon doors would save a shitload but thats not happening anytime soon!

hoping to get the boot painted out in the next few weeks, not too many things left now =D

Carbon isn't very stiff if its just laid on flat

maybe grab some core material if you want to stiffen it up some more (you can make some little stiffeners by laminating some core material with carbon over the top)

update on the dirty wan:

sprinted down to hobart yesterday and picked up a rear windscreen for $20! to replace the one i exploded by accident

booked in on wed for the reinstall, ($110 at obriens)

its is actually pretty rigid, i have a bit of 2.5mm thick stuff that i trialed, spreads the load more evenly on the boot skin, but the bracing in the boot is mounted upto the boot skin, which took me (90kg) bouncing up and down on it. the said carbon will also hide some holes from a previous wing trial, lol

yeah pretty much came to that conclusion. I'm an Ex panel beater, so have the gear to do so but can't bring myself to unspot them and rip them out. well not at this stage anyway. E46 beamer intrusion bars bolt out, wish datsun's where the same!

Hey guys,

So I have a 33 as a daily now, actually really liking the car. Not after any engine mods as I have the 180 for that.

Anyway is there any r33's being wrecked around tassie at all? There is a few things I want to replace to fix it up a bit nicer.

Cheers, Mandi

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
