hmm might have to look at that,

anyway bigger problem, wheel nuts were torqued on to hell, so used a breaker bar, then got the lower bolt off easy, went to do the first on the strut top and struggled went to use the breaker bar and it slipped, i think i may have stripped it a bit, so now dont know what to do :S

I had the same trouble with one of my strut tops, it already had 2 stripped nuts. i just used a Nut & Bolt Grip Extractor. You should be able to pick a set up from bursons, repco etc.

so i went and bought some new sockets to go on my 1/2 inch breaker and with almost zero effore the nuts came off, even the slightly damaged one... so now ive installed fronts, and ill have to wait till another day to do the rears... which will be more fun!

so that was the biggest mofo ever, went onto doing the rears last week and the nut and stud were spinning together so had to work out how to get the parcel shelf out... couldnt, left it till after work the other day and removed two supports on the left and right that the parcel shelf sits on cause the 6 x 9 were in the way... and had to use vice grips to hold the stud and remove the nut... but got it done... now to test drive...

btw the rear on the r33 is a b***h but i guess if i ever have to do it again i know how :s

Stuck my flares on yesterday so I didn't get raped on the way to baskerville.

Will be rolling the guards this week some time as they scrubbed all the way there and back and then I'll sick the flares on for good

  • 2 weeks later...

that looks tough as now! Loving the bolt ons.

Don't worry about rolling, just cut it!

I would have but in case I decide to change wheels at a later date I just rolled/pumped them & that turned out awesome....

picture time

see turned out just awesome -_- not 100% finished

A little Mexican ( 15x10-26 195/50 ) still need to decide if im going to roll/pump these also

Needs more low, although as is it makes some lovely sparks from the chassis rails

Might take you up on that, I'll send you a text when I'm down that way next,thanks

Not sure if you can see in the pics, my rear guard has sucked itself in I'll get a better picture today

how did that even happen? Do you reckon the old heat it up with a hair dryer and cool it down with a tin on compressed air upside down trick with fix it?

    • For fuelling the Haltechs have O2WB fuel controllers. Very useful for helping tuning VE and correcting for *small* mistakes. Of course if your injector/cam/trigger/sensor data is just wrong (or for a GTT which is not a GT) then you will get impossible reactions to things. I am sure you know this already but the reason people don't typically put haltechs (or any Aftermarket ECU) on GT's is because there's practically no real gains to be had - So this knowledge won't be commonplace.
    • Can someone tell me if the cracks seen in the rear sway bar bushings in these photo's is unacceptable from a roadworthy point of view?  
    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.
