Also keen to know what this is. I removed mine! I thought perhaps it had something to do with HICAS.

Ok guys, I recently purchased a HID kit off of Slide. Its a 10,000K 55w kit and im very impressed. Throws a nice light and it isnt too blue. Heres the pics and a bit of a run through of my install heres where I mounted the passenger side unit. I used one of the many threaded holes that were already present (probably from the airbox) and simply used a tek screw for the other hole. Remove the airbox if you have one. You can see in this photo, that the rubber grommet assembly that came in my set had the wires for powering the unit running through it. I decided I would cut these off because it would have been a little messy to fit the new grommet and the old into the one fitting (if you dont understand hang in there, the next few pics may help). Heres what your car has (sorry about the blur) Heres the cap for your headlight. The small hole is where the original lamp power cables run. I drilled mine out with a 25mm holesaw so the new rubber seal would sit nicely. Heres what it looked like after drilling. The hole is offset a little to make sure it drilled over the older smaller hole. I stripped back the power cable that I had cut loose from the rubber grommet on the light assembly and added some lugs. This was done to the original lamp power cables also. On the original cables, my green wire was positive (the one that originally connected directly on the back of the lamp). Take care with your polaritys. I managed to accidently put the power plug in the unit upside down originally. I Didnt hurt it, but there was alot of confusion when it would work. This is what my wiring looked like (note, you can see the power cables I had cut running through the new grommet. It is cut flush on the inside and out, I left the cores there as a sort of plug . A little pre- tidy up photo of the wiring. Heres a photo of where I mounted the electronic starter on the drivers side. Washer bottle is removed for ease of install. Heres some photos I have of the lights turned on. This is the original bulb I had (clear blue phillips type) 10,000K light. Note the colour of the parkers, which are the same coulour as my original halogen lights. Thats it guys. So far im very impressed. The light is great and the original reflectors throw the light out pretty nicely. Sorry about the blur. The pics were a last minute idea taken with my phone. Any questions feel free to ask

There are quite a few silver 33's in town. actually a fair few imports here these days (like everywhere else) Heres a pic

Im pretty sure you lose your VCT on the inlet if you fit an adjustable cam of some sort? Im just going with one on the exhaust regardless.

Wow, Mafia, Why did you install the nozzle so close to the inlet manifold? (just different to other peoples installs) Bill

Thanks mate

Hey paul, EDIT: missed that bit in the guide. think i have the wrong model hand controller. I have a powerfc serial number: ECR33 010 - 1452 And hand controller number : FCC3 020 - 11909 (I dont have a rotary hand controller do I?) I couldnt find any numbers similar to 415 - X001 etc and your link to nengun isnt valid anymore (nengun seem to have removed all apexi gear) Thanks for any help, Bill

Hi guys, I looked up an old adjustable cam gear thread but couldnt find any information about the compatabilitys with the standard ECU. Going by the post everyone got the best results on the RB25 with about 3 degrees advance? Is this ok, and will I see any benefit on a Standard ECU? is it safe etc? Thanks guys, Bill

Yeh its not extremely interesting but thursday nights arent to bad (waterfront). How do you know what my car looks like is my next question! *waves at granthem*

Hey mate do you still have RUSH Shadow silver 8.5 and 9.5 wide to suit R33 gtst (imagine it would be +35?) Cheers

Thanks for the response guys. Looks like im testing the ecu today

Hey guys I have a question about the power fc that i couldnt find an answer to. I recently bought a second hand power fc and was told by the guy that had it that my car wouldnt run on it (he had monster turbo, cams, injectors etc). So heres my dilema, If i reset the power fc, will it go back to the base map they are purcahsed with (fingures crossed)? or will I have to find someone who has the map saved so I can download it? The reason I am doing this is so I can check everything is ok before making the 6 hour drive to my nearest tuner. Thanks for any help.

get down to bundy every now and then, bought my car there actually. From gladstone btw

Tune for my R33 gst-t at ALLSTAR - Cancelled. Where next?

Ive heard lots about these jim berry clutchs? he have a website?

bollocks. many others miss out?

Not sure if you can check this, But is there a part number for the small pivot bush on the bottom of an R33 gtst shifter? It sits in the gear selector. Cheers, Bill

Order placed you have pm!

hey mate, chasing the power window controller? if its in working condition? and how is the rear strut brace installed? interested also, cheers, Bill

No worries, yep 33 gtst front and back

Pm if your willing to seperate.

If you will still take an order for this group I will pay today.

Finally, a topic related post. Didnt know the car wasn't going to be manual thanks for the info. Can't believe all the bullshit i just read.

Will there be another group buy after? I don't think i can have the cash by the 3rd, only just saw this group buy!
