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?

    • 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!
