You'll find that whoever compled your car took off all the non-standard bits, replaced with stock, and then put them back on. When complying a car, IMHO *everything* has to be stock! You can try the excuse on, but no promises!

oh, FlyBye cam to my wedding :-D

Yep, FlyBye was working in BX, he's not been seen for ages...... Mine's almost exactly the same as the one in the above pic, (No P's!) I'd never forget the GTR tho ;-)

Does anyone have a used GTR fuel pump? (Or similar flow) (To fit a R33 S2 GTST) Cheers, Zeb

Cef11e, Thanks!!

Hey all... I need to identify the turbo that's currently fitted to my '33... How far will I need to dismantle, to be able to id it? It's meant to be a T3/4 Hybrid, Is there normally anything that I can look for to confirm this? It's a low mount, with a Nissan wastegate, heat sheild, and happily holds 13/14 PSI, but before increasing boost etc, I'd of course like to know what I have, and what it can do :-/ Cheers, Zebbie

I wouldn't use a pot, apart from getting the right value, as there's vibration, moisture issues etc... Once you have the right value, measure the resistance, then put in a fixed resistor - You don't want your afr's changing at every pothole, of it it rains :-D

He was upping the resistance value each run by 0.02 of a watt. Don't you mean Ohm, KOhm?

thanks... I had no idea what it meant :-)

Attached is the side of a R33 ECU - Can anyone tell me what is written above the trim pot on the side? oh, and does anyone have any idea what year a '33 ECU with the model number MEC-R730 was made in? Cheers, Zebbie

Tim, i'm assuming (on your plates) Caught you leaving Paramatta shopping center on Saturday avo, Black R33 GTST with a large wing... Clean that car!! :-D (Says me in the dirty R33 silver that was behind you... )

soo.......... what happened?

Update to this, the chaps returned my email.... I think i'll be going PFC..... From the Mines distributor in the UK............ The VX-ROM is not remappable. The cost of "re-mapping" it is the same as purchasing a whole new chip, which is GBP600.00 + VAT on a part exchange basis. Mine's do not entertain inquiries regarding the contents of the map unless it's from the original purchaser himself ie. you would need an original receipt. This is to protect their intellectual rights. OUCH!!!!! PFC it is then...... oh, the 'Part Exchange' includes your old Mines ECU.... So, that means it'll be AUD $1678, before shipping, duties etc.......

BeerB, I was looking at is, as I already have a Mines ECU, 98 RON maps are available from the mob in the UK etc.... I know tuning would be a big issue, but going by their prices, a PFC might be a better (read cheaper) way... I'm reading into your comments that there are two types of Mines, a fixed modded Nissan ECU, and a VXROM version, that can be tuned? If so, I assume I have the fixed version then.... :-/

A few quick questions, if anyone knows about Mines ECU's (SK & Co?) i) IIRC, the mines ECU's are proms? (Aka program once, read only from that point?) Also, the PROM isn't just a standard PROM, it's a CPU & PROM? (I could easily be wrong) ii) How long has mines been building the VX ROM? (aka the mapping can be changed by whatever method) - Anyone know any model numbers, so I can check mine... iii) How can you change the settings in the VX ROM? Quote from the ProSpec's UK Webby : Mine's VX-ROM is the best seller in the aftermarket ECU products in Japan, and Mine's programmed those ECU to suit UK fuel octane of 98 RON. ....... Programming can be continuously updated as more tuning is carried out. (for the fisrt owner of the ECU and subject to upgrade fee.) Link : http://www.prospec-ms.co.uk/parts/mines/vxrom.html iv) Is there anyone in aussie that can sell/upgrade the mines kit? ( Looking at the prices, it's more expensive than the PFC, but if I can put a new map on my ECU, that would be nice.... ) Any help would be appreciated.... - Zebbie

Deffo replacing it tomorrow :-) Cheers all

Silly question time again..! If the battery's on it's way out (In this case, loosing a cell) Is it possible that it'd affect the fuel pump when running? (aka not running it at max output etc) (I'll be checking the running voltages later, just an idle thought really.. ) (New Battery to be fitted tomorrow, 550 cranking rating) - R33 SII

Was just browsing about and came across this 'exhaust/can' - anyone got better pics? *I think it looks so much better than my cannon... * came across a couple here, i'll add more as I see them.............Still trying to find the pic that has 6+ exhausts!!!

Cool. I'll come up with some dates today, i'm also trying to sort out a real photographer, for the heck of it :-D It looks like a meet at orange, to hook up with a load of the lads there, and then to Bx, the track etc...

I have them all too...

Close enough :-D

Will have to talk to the mrs :-D she doesn't blow up engines tho........ lmk, pm me if you can't find my number.... i can book...

Dunc : If you're back for it, i'll sort out food etc again... Should I plan to do something better??

Bathurst Area Based Skyline Owners Well, over time, i've noticed there are a few of us.... Fancy sticking your hands up, and we'll have a get together? So far, I know : Moi, Zeb (Silver R33 SII) Bill, (Silver R34 GTT) Gun, (GunMetal R32 GTR) Anyone Else...

If the tinting was too dark, it won't pass compliance as far as I know......
