Group Buy # 3 Arospeed Adjustable Cam Gears, By Popular Demand
bangahh replied to r33kid's topic in Group Buys
Put me in for a set br25det - Blue thanks. -
Setup your system like nornal stereo install, add the PC as a Aux input - ie your head unit treats the computer as a CD Changer / MD stacker etc. PS dont waste your money on a FM transmitter kit - they have lots of static and sound quality isnt that good. Try and get a direct input into your head unit.

http://www.tygarbyte.com/carmp3.html I cheated.... but a broken laptop works fine for me.... CAR MP3 PLAYER Well I always wanted to play mp3 on my head unit. There is nothing wrong with it - it still works fine and I paid over $600 for it when I first puchased it, but I just wanted mp3 on it. Well I have complete this project and can be viewed here. So with a little research with my friend google. My head unit was a Sony and it also had the option to add an additional MD unit. If you were not as lucky as me to have a audio input in the front of your head unit or your head unit does not support it. There are other add ons out there that can ease your burden without having to dish out money for another head unit, but unfortunetly I lost the link. I ended up getting the Sony XA300, which connects to the head unit to enable auxillary audio inputs. Well it would have been cheaper getting another head unit but its princibles, i got the XA300 of Amazon. Just a note i couldnt get the unit ordered becuase I lived in Australia and had to get a good friend from America to onforward it to me. Just get them to wrap it and send it as a present to yourserlf as you wont get taxed. Useful link. How to install a head unit in a r33 Now I then wanted to control my mp3 via the touch screen as having a keyboard or numpad was just too inconenient. I ended up getting the DL0701A unit of ebay for around $400 with a $50 postage. Which was the cheapest I could find, with the Liliput unit being some $150-200 more coming from the same company. If you wanted it cheap- then you have to order it off the company that makes them. Shenzhen Delong Electronic Co.,Ltd The only problem was that you need to order a minimun of 100 units. I however did not have the funds to do so nor the patience to wait for the shipment, but if you want a a group buy and are already and importer, then it may be well worth it. Pricelist when I inquired in Nov 2005. http://www.tygarbyte.com/images/carmp3imag...ndlcdscreen.jpg To play the mp3 I manage to score myself a IBM Thinkpad A51e. Thankfully the company that I work for wrote one off, as they busted the screen and I got qouted $1100 to get a replacement screen while the latop itself only cost $1400. Go figure. Great screen saver. So I ended up removing the screen and placing the laptop or whats left of it behind the passenger seat. I also plug in a tiny usb keyboard to make life configuring it also easier. It was just a matter of hooking everything up now. Powering the laptop constably I just used a 12v to 240v Inerter that runs of the cigarette plug. I did have a problem installing the touch screen driver, the driver that came with it was the same on the website. You just have to install it in the right sequence when running the self install program. I thought that XP was the problem so I ended up putting MS 2000 back on it. The software I ended up using was Media Engine, but there are others to choose from. You can find a list of it at the MP3CAR forums. I have installed it and everything works, non-stop music from Sydney to Melbourne and back. The only thing that I dont like about it is the bootup time that windows takes to load and also when the computer goes into standby, it loses the touch screen functionality. So I dont usually use it on short trips to the shops. The touch screen doesnt interfere with Driving, I have set it up so to skip a track you just touch the screen with out taking your eyes of the road. The Touch screen unit also has 2 AV inputs, I plan to install two camera to the car and hopefully if the picture quality is good enough caputure it while taking a sunday drive through the Royal National Park at 1 am in the mornings, or to help with reverse parking at night as my windows are really dark and it is a pain sometimes.

http://www.tygarbyte.com/r33wheelstud.html Sorry its more of a blog, that i made for my site. It all started when they tried to take the rims off. I knew I should have waited to get afermarket rims from Japan instead of going cheapo. Well anyways the Tyre shop snapped one wheel stud trying to get it off, I would have done the same thing if i tried to take it off myself, so I just have to put on a smile and curse myself on the inside. I have had it happen when I first purchased the Rims, but I wont be going back there to do business. Snapped stud in lug nut , snapped studs and rounded stud. Well I ended up fixing this myself, This is my first time so it was quite simple really but I had to change three studs and took me a whole day, but i got side tracked. However if you focus on the task - it should take only 2 hrs max. I snapped another stud trying to take it off. Take off your tyres, then your rear brake, then the disk. The disk might be stuck, but you just have to give it a good hit to losen it. Make sure that you have the car on a level surface as the hand brakes need to be off or else you wont be able to take the brakes off :-). So I chocked the front two wheels with bricks to stop it from moving. Because you have to rotate the wheels to line up with the gap so that you can remove the broken studs. Hence both rear wheels need to be jacked up, so I ended getting another jack on the other side. It is also easier to turn the other tyre to line up the gaps. Once you have lined the stud up with the gap behind you can hit it, so that it pops out, you may need a bit of force. Putting the studs in, you have to use this gap to get the new studs in also. You can get the parts from any spare parts shop. I got mine from Mekong Auto Spares 02 9724 0691 Canley Vale - Motor Replacement Parts Part number NS457 - Price $4 each stud. I can confirm that these fit on the rears of my R33 S1 GTsT. To install the wheel studs, line it up in the gap and use some washers and then tighten it up. Make sure that you have lined it up straight or else it wont fit, it doesnt hurt to put some grease and WD40. Then just tighten the nut untill it pulls the stud into place. ( Drop the other rear wheel so that it has traction, making it easier to tighten ) Once all studs and back in, just put your disk, brakes and tyres back on. Just a tip that I got - putting a bit of grease on the studs stops the studs from flaking and helps stop the nuts from seizing up.

my suggestion would be to change the spark plugs or clean it ( you said it ran rich ) . I dont think the egine will over heat in less than a minute. Make sure he hooks up the airflow meter ( i forgot when i did mine and i shat myself ) also one time i drove/limped 1k back home ( didnt realise front pipes had popped off and i had nfi ) if he up the boost and gets flatspots or boost cut, regap the spark plugs to .8mm

Problem with after market boost controller
bangahh replied to immortal's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
I have the same problem as you............... at the moment im saving up to fix it. Either regap to .7 or .8 mm OR fix it with splitfire coilpacks. $650 ish.... my cousin has the same setup but he's car doesnt do it, just mine :-( you also might want to upgrade the fuel pump. -
I left foot brake and use the hand brakes and also shift into lower gears.

someones got more money then sense..... surely there has to be something better to do up internallly then make a skyline a sleeper cause everyone knows its a skyline cause its been on the news. make something that no one bothers to take a look at cause at the lights their faces will drop. such as a Volvo with a chevy engine.
-
hey, buy it and give us your feed back. we all learn from our mistakes....... but it seems like no one in here has had anything to do with it and just seems to give thier opinions. So it be intresting to trace the turbo back to the factory.
