Typically squeaks from two places: 1) Clutch pedal assembly - Spray some dry lube (is there such a thing heuheuheu) - Available at bunnings, supercheap etc. 2) Clutch pivot - Need to look up how to do this. I've heard of people doing this with the box on the car and off.

Yep the tuner messaged me and said it should be easy! I have no idea how I'm supposed to reduce the 60ft time because that's where I seem to be getting let down. You think launch control on the ECU will help? Pics of various events and changes lately Drag racing last Sunday - One of my mates brought his 33 down too so we had a few races together. CF Coilpack cover back on PCV Drama I was complaining about earlier Ripped the auto wind module out of my car last night as mentioned. Cleaned up the space nicely Slave cylinder arrived today at my other office so I'll go pick it up and install it tonight. It also seems that my car is getting a bit hotter than I would like so I will bleed the system again and if that doesn't fix it get a new thermostat, new alloy radiator etc. Priorities for this weekend are new tires too cos they are only getting worse. -

Found part 1 of the boost problem - Split boost controller line and now I can manage 1.26 bar in 3rd and 4th gear. Ordered two clevis' for the wastegate actuator in different threads so I can test each one to see what works - Due in a couple of days I also ordered a new clutch slave cylinder because this HFM one is causing me problems - I would definitely not recommend the HFM big bore slave to anyone. I have had nothing but issues with this HFM one - Should arrive tomorrow from KMS Radiator cooling panel was ordered from Hioctanedirect for $55 including shipping. It states series one but with a little trimming I got it to fit my series 2. Last but not least I arrived at work yesterday and went to wind up my window to find that it wouldn't wind up. So I ripped the door apart in the car park and applied direct power to the motor to get it to go up. It went up but I still didn't know what caused it. So I bought a new switch and it still didn't fix it (the switch was always dodgey) - Turns out it was the auto wind up module for the windows which I ripped out tonight and cleaned up. Pics of parts and progress to come when it all arrives. -
Stuff Y'all Will Want.

Not willing to split the gauges up? I would really be interested in the gauge cluster but already have the centre gauges so no use for them unfortunately. -
Good to hear that you got it going! Supercheap sell packs or assorted copper washers that should help if you get stuck
-
Yep I just used the original clips too and also had the same trim removal tools just to make sure I didn't bust any of them - Worked a treat Thanks again Danny for organising this group buy

Will have to grab the slip out of my car but I'm getting terrible 60ft best time was 13.1 and 180kmh... My mate got a 12.8 with a great 60ft at 170kmh which is why I think I can get more pretty easily. Need to get new tires this week too. Tuner said it should easily get 12.5 with good tires and fixing the boosting problem. -

That's really good for an RB20! That's probably the most I've seen good work! How did the tune go? Umm it's a late 2015 ATR45SAT which is relatively new but it's a huge turbo. I'd love to bash the cat too but I don't like the idea of the EPA raping me lol. ---------------------------- Went drag racing today, car struggled to make 14psi which really made me unhappy. Spoke to the tuner and he said I should bring it back for a power run and go over. He's also not happy that it's not making full boost regardless of gear. Still got a decent time with full interior and half a tank of petrol though. Gonna message Stao now about it -
Im using a map sensor, will it still mess with it Stao? Edit: and whats wrong with stock airbox?

Something interesting I found out today - Put a pod on my car for all the choo choo sounds (not really) but it makes more boost easier in all gears... 1.10 pound in second easily and full boost in third easily. I had the stock airbox on but I put the pod on with the factory snorkel for cold air feed. -

Exactly what happens to mine - Big hills and it hits full boost. I think it may be that there is less load in the lower gears somehow hence why we see the problem. Stao reckons it's the front mount but I don't mind upgrading it anyway I just need to start putting money asside for it. It's interesting that you had the same actuator results that I did - Stao said that mine was a 20PSI actuator but Adam from JEM said it opens up much sooner than that. I read an article once about you need to get the actuator springs as close to the target boost as possible for proper control. Can I ask ho much power you made with yours and the OP6 Highflow? Thanks for reading by the way, its good to know that there are a few who do ---------- Update, I got the sh!ts today while working on the car. Didn't bother taking many pics because I was so annoyed. First of all, the PCV grommet fell into the rocker cover so I had to pull that off to fish it out. Sandwich plate for the oil temp gauge leaked so I removed it also. Put the carbonfibre coil pack cover on Changed PCV and hose and grommet Didn't do much else. Stay tuned because I'll eventually be getting some new goodies. -
Also interested

Ordered a few things tonight that hopefully should come before the weekend. HOR cooling panel - Designed for S1 but I'm guessing I can make it fit S2.. For $40 it's worth finding out for others. PCV Valve and grommet PCV Valve hose Oil Filter Magnetic Sump Plug (for le sh!ts and gigs) Gear shifter boot thingo that goes to the box. I ripped mine when I changed the clutch. Updates soon when the parts come -
Living With An R33 Gtst
kingtube69 replied to shubby0901's topic in Members Cars, Project Overhauls & Restorations
Hey mate - You will find the issue isn't the gears rather its the contacts in the switching mechanism in the mirror. Happened to me and I used this guide to fix it: http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/93178-r33-electric-side-mirror-repair-s2/ Shortly after I fixed the passenger side, the drivers side went and I haven't been bothered to fix it lol. GL - Tweeters look nice like that -
Thats unfortunate - Could you possibly go back and get them to drop the exhaust then rerun on the dyno to see if thats the restriction?

Os88 Vs Hollinger Decision!
kingtube69 replied to Buraz's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
Yep speak to Adam and Humzza at JEM they put one in a red 33 GTR I believe and Humzza had one in his car. Give them a call and just say you're looking for advice/experience - Could even find them on Facebook if that helps -
Ignition Break Down Beyond 18psi In My Rb32dett

God damn the RB25 one is cheap - Do you know what they are like with shipping mate? i.e will they ship to Aus/is it expensive to ship? Cheers -
I am the one who stains the steel. What is your problem with my steel stains?

Yep they have been fairly good to me also. I guess they have been going through changes too because their website is a bit broken! -
Bills 33 Gtst Streeter/track Car
kingtube69 replied to admS15's topic in Members Cars, Project Overhauls & Restorations
Nice work - So the radiator fit with the fan shroud? be careful with those caster arms, I got stung by a shop I will not name for a big alignment bill because (speaking from the aligners perspective) "Everytime I had to make an adjustment, I had to pull the alignment tools off then take off the arm then put everything back on and repeat till it was right" The bill was significantly more than I was quoted despite me telling them what setup I had. None the less the alignment was great so I'm not complaining.
