Well I've promised myself i wouldn't buy any more car parts until i sell some , im confused with what wheels i should put on it though , i have gold sparco rims off the 33 or the p1 i was going to put on blue 32 or , im tempted to put the sp1's on it , i have way too much shit for one person ...

finaly got my self a brand new t04 turbo, external waste gate, rising rate fuel pressure reg and 48 side draft weber(draw threw setup), in the prosess of getting the manifold cleaned and nickle plated, then water and methonal injection :)

just waiting on a few small bits and pieces to take her off the road again and get some boost happening :D

hoping for about 300HP ish.

enough to have some fun with....

800hp Turbo for 300hp? :/

Can anyone recommend a good place to get side skirts fitted and painted and front bumper resprayed? Obviously no one wants to pay more than they have to but i'd rather pay more for something perfect as the product remains after the money is forgotten.

After a perfect paint match and don’t want any orange peel, prefer both items painted off the car as it is currently a perfect respray and don’t want it ruined with overspray :yucky:.

Cheeeeeeeeeeers in advance

I'm looking to probably sell my R33 if anyone is in the market for one. Black, manual, rb25det, registered, no defects, coilovers, advan rims, all electrics etc. 11k ono.

Reason for sale is moving to another state soon and will probably just pick something up there.

Well , i finally got my track hack going after replacing the turbo , small issue , i took the old turbo off thinking there was a problem with it , i pulled it apart and found nothing wrong with it (apart from a small crack in the rear housing, and me breaking the rear wheel off while taking the rear housing off) , i put the new turbo on and it's still making the same sound! . Nfi where to look , all the gaskets are new etc :( so back to the drawing board... I think i may just have to register it and then change all the manifolds and piping (to after market etc)

Have you tired pressurizing your cooler piping etc?

Not yet , it sounds like the compressor is touching the housing , but it doesn't because i checked all of that out before i put it back together , it's quite audible from the air filter , which gives me a big ??? . Only gasket i haven't checked is the 3 bolt one that comes off the compressor , i can't see it being that though .

it's prolly that one, Toffy.

aaaah, the infamous Kennedy car. Never saw that video before - needs more engine/exhaust music ;)

I made that video last night :)

I have no doubt in my mind it is that or the housing itself , with my luck , it would be the hardest thing to change , or the simplest . Either way , it's a good excuse to use the ceff setup :D . So Mr Kennedy has got his car to the track finally , about time , plenty of $$$ there , i was waiting for him to have a go! Tell him next time you see him that i said he is soft! .

So i sold my teks last week, since then car has been on jackstands untill tomorrow when i pick up my new wheels.

I will post up a pic either tomorrow night or wednesday but untill then im not saying what they are.

I have a feeling i will be doing a fair bit of guard work / going wide guards though :)

should be with the money invested in it! Pumped to be a passenger in it at some stage though.

Would rather be the driver! Especially if the owner wants to drive lol *waves to Blake*

more pics of yours with the wheels on it?

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
