I'll grab 2 when more are done

Haha I thought I might have dribbled on for a bit too long. Yea I tested my battery and that's all good, upon inspection I noticed my main belt wasn't straight between the crank and alternator, looking closer I could fit my finger between the back of the harmonic balancer and the timing cover.. Long story short the rubber in the centre has worn away completely and the outside of the balancer is just spinning on itself, pulled the outside off and the inner part is still there (held in by the crank bolt). Now to find another balancer that WON'T give me this trouble again and try to get the crank bolt undone. Fingers crossed that's the source of all the problems outlined earlier, at least I know my power steering pump is ok haha Good luck with your problem! Let me know how you go.

Sorry about the life story, just thougt best to outline all problems/fixes in case any could be contributing to the current problem.

Hey guys, so I'll start at the beginning. I bought my 93 r33 gtst and everything seemed to be fine, drive well, made good power, etc. After a week or two it stalled out of the blue and wouldn't start again. First check was fuel pump which was getting no power. Took it to a good friend of mine at a performance shop and it turned out to be a fuse in the drivers footwell. After getting that replaced I had it dyno'd to get a more recent power figure (sheets I had from previous owner were for 2007). At this point I was told it badly needed a retune; running very rich. After the tune it was fine for a few days then the car began idling bad (fluctuating between 600-1500rpm) and would sometimes even stall. I checked plugs, coilpacks, injectors, replaced the fuel filter and had the AAC valve cleaned, this helped the idle problem but didnt fully eliminate the fluctuation. Few weeks went by and then YESTERDAY my power steering started to groan at startup and I could hear a loud tapping/scraping noise from the front of my engine. Upon inspection (engine running) I could see small dusty elements floating around the front of the engine, car would idle VERY low and then struggle and die. Given my power steering was groaning and the ticking noise sounded to be coming from the belt area I removed the power steering belt and while I was at it the air con belt as well (no condenser anyway). Power steering pulley seems to have a bit of drag when turned by hand. I've left the belt off and am now back to driving a car with no power steering until I can get it looked at properly. The tapping/scraping noise is no longer present, idle has greatly improved but now the battery light in my dash is constantly on when the car is running. My first thought was alternator but before I rushed into too much I was curious to see if anyone else has bad this problem and what the cause was? Any help greatly appreciated. Cheers.

I never really took much notice before this happened but now it's not priming at all. Took the supply line off the pump and had my girl turn the key, no whirring or fuel there at all.

Hey guys, I've tried searching quickly to find some information but I thought I'd just post and ask. Got my 33 last Monday and in the last few morning it's been hard to start (had to give it a few revs while cranking to get it to hold idle) anyway yesterday I was driving and all of a sudden it just shut off. Tried starting again but wouldn't fire. Checked for fuel at the rail but nothing there. Checked fuse in the boot and that's fine, also swapped the pump relay in the boot for the AC one in the bonnet but still no go. Can't hear the pump priming when turn the key. Just wondering if there are any other fuses/relays I should be checking before I go out and buy another pump. It's a Bosch 040, relatively new I was told by the previous owner. Any suggestions would be awesome! Cheers -Nathan

Hey guys, recently got an r33 and was just after a little help regarding seat rails. I purchased a bride low max (fixed back) replica off grizzly imports and was planning to put it in my 180. Since that ship has sailed I wanna put it in the 33 because I'm sick of it sitting in my room not being used. I've posted on a few forums and been offered r32 VELO rails, just wondering if they'll fit, the rails in Hobart and I live on the NW coast so can't really test fit it. Any information on what rails I need, or even know of anyone selling one to suit would be greatly appreciated! Cheers guys! -Nathan
