Looking for a genuine set of Nismo spats for my R33 GTR. Am based in the UK but I can arrange shipping no problem.

livewire (Kevin) - NSW KPCresta (Gavin) - WA Chris_H (Chris) - WA - V-SPEC 32rulz (Ken) - Hong Kong smalls (Will) - UK GTRLM1 (gtr.co.uk forum) - UK ab20000 - UK - V-Spec torra (Jim) - South Shields, UK TheWatch (Marco) - Glauchau, Germany

I have a set of white Nimso centre dials for an R33. I replaced the stock ones which only read to max 700mmHG (0.93 bar eqv) whereas the Nismos read to around 1.4 kg/cm2 which is just under 1.4bar. Now when I run the standard gauges I was showing just under 1 bar boost (expected) whereas with the white dials are showing around 1.4bar. My question therefore is are the boost sensors different as they both show the same physical position on the gauges but obviously one is considerably higher than the other. Any ideas? Thanks

I've an LM. Not sure how many v-specs were made (think not many) but this is one. At the moment the car is in bits so not really photo worthy. Oh and I'm in the UK

This was my concern but no other signs I can see of damage, guess could have been a light impact. I'll get the guy doing my underside refresh to have a good look for me though.

I will be at some point but I'm based in the UK

Ah right that sucks, need to lookout for a new set then. Annoying as have a fairly rare car and finding some of the stock bits have been removed.

Bit of an odd question but my headlights have silver dividers rather than the usual black - does anybody know if this was an option on these or do I have some GTSt or other non GTR headlights? Thanks, Matt

Thread revival! I want to change all hoses while the engine is out - just looked on JustJap and can't see this engine hose kits - does anybody know of a kit that is the same? Seem to be a few on ebay just not sure if they are the right ones? Something like this.... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SILICONE-Radiator-Heater-HOSE-fit-for-Nissan-skyline-GTR-R33-R34-RB26DET-BL-/281111064023?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4173866dd7

I know what turbo it is it's the turbine housing a/r I want to know. Will get some pics up later.

Forgot to say it has 1679-5 stamped on the side of the inlet flange but that doesn't match with anything I can find on google.

Have just taken delivery of a new Garrett turbo and want to triple check that I have been sent the right thing. First of all the turbine housing outlet is wrong (4 bolt not a v-band) which is annoying. Anyway any ideas how I can check that the turbine housing is at least the right A/R? You guys seem to know your turbos so thought I'd ask - looking for something to tell me it's a 0.82 A/R!

Nice one mate, exactly what info I need. I don't have a splash tray on my car so should be fine. I am running 265/35's. Can't think of any other wheel that will suit my skyline better, I have a Le Mans edition R33, hoping silver RPF1s look spot on. Got any links to your car mate?

Does anybody run these? Want a good fit that really fills the arches but don't really want to roll the arches. Am thinking 18 x 10.5 ET15, is anybody running this size or any other size and has photos? Cheers,

Fair enough. Looking at different options, thinking automotive as 340lph and still in tank. AEM do one but doesn't seem to have been around too long yet.

Looking for an upgrade for the stock pump to support up to 600bhp. Struggling to find much info on the Bosch 040 so wondering if anybody knows the true lph rate and if the right serial number is the 0580 254 040-390. Cheers,

These links seem to be for coolant hoses - I'm looking at every hose on the engine, all the vacuum hoses everything that can one day perish so all those going to the actuators etc.

Maybe I'm searching the wrong words? Any chance you can post a link? Cheers,

Anybody know where I can get a full set of new hoses for the RB26DETT? The engine is coming out and want to future proof it as much as possible so looking at replacing all the hoses. Slow process with Nissan over here so wondering if any of you guys have done this before and where you got the hoses from, any idea on price would be good as well. Happy to order from an Australian supplier as won't weigh too much and most Skyline parts are cheaper there. Cheers,

So if I wanted to go for the absolute best and safest option should I go for braided fuel hose in AN4 (6mm ID)?

What vacuum hose do you use on the RB26? I have been advised not to use the silicone hose as it can split but this is the only vacuum hose that seems to be sold - I guess I can use some 6mm ID fuel hose (AN4) but wondering what you guys use? Cheers,

No mate no boost controller engine and setup is stock bar breathing mods and steel turbos.

My first thoughts were it is sticking and staying closed for longer than it should till it's being forced open by too much pressure - bet it's a pain to check on this engine! Was thinking about upgrading the turbos to 2560's so maybe this is a good time....

Is that an easy one to check or will I have to remove loads of pipes (RB26DETT) to get to it?

Out in the R33 on the weekend and car is behaving strangely - seems to be over boosting which is backed up by the stock boost gauge flicking up to over the max. Turbos sound like they are retaining too much boost until it gets to the point where they need to dump a load of excess boost almost like a leak or a last minute fail safe. Any ideas what I should be checking? Assuming it's wastegate / actuator / vacuum line related and if so what is the best way to check? Cheers!
