Coullsy

Got it on the hoist, took about half a litre of oil, took it for a drive and 4th gear is still troublesome, it is only at speed that it has an issue which is a little confusing, I can't engage 5th to 4th, but I can if I go 5th, 3rd, 4th.

Suncorp can be iffy when it comes to paying out, took 2 1/2 months for them to pay out a not at fault write off. I've gone with just cars, as they insure modifications as well

Nice and tidy, welcome.

no, they are still on there

Thanks, i have shot you a PM

Project Snoopy Purchased my first R33 a couple of months ago as a toy, absolutely love the car and its quite fun as it is, but that never lasts long. The goal for the car is street/track making a reliable 300rwkw. When i purchased it it had a FMIC, Tien coilovers and a 3" turbo back Magnaflow exhaust. As with any new car that i buy a complete service is done, all oils were changed with Penrite products, including 10 thenths race oil in the motor, new coolant and new filters all round. Just something that i personally do with every car i by, no matter when it was last serviced. That way i know that it has all been done and it is using the products that i prefer. The reason the car has been called Snoopy branches back into my R31 days where i had a car with the same name and similar theme. i have always liked and built most of my cars with a Black and White theme so it has continued on with this car. After about a week or so i noticed that is wasn't holding boost properly and nutted the issue out to be the boost bypassing the factory BOV, i upgraded it with a GFB Deceptor pro, and whilst i was there i installed a GFB EBC, and wound the boost up to 11 PSI which is around the limit of the stock turbo. A few more weeks had passed and the increase in boost has started to have a detrimental effect on the clutch, anytime it was put under load it would start slipping. Considering future plans with this build i didn't to settle with another single plate as i know it will have to be changed again down the track, so i just bit the bullet and upgraded to an Extreme twin plate race clutch. Interesting times prevailed after installing this for the first few drives trying to get used to the bitiness of this clutch, but after a few weeks of driving it i have the takes offs down pat, i am still in the bedding in stage with this clutch, i was told by the manufactures to put atleast 500-1000kms on it before doing launches etc. i have tried my hardest not to feed the car too much boost, but every now and then i cant help myself. I decided it was time for some new wheels, and a brake upgrade, i through on a full set of RDA D series rotors and their extreme pads, im not real happy with the pads though so i am going to swap them out with EBC yellow stuff pads. I purchased a Freddy manifold for the car, but i couldn't bring myself to install it, so that has been placed aside and funds are being allocated towards a Plazmaman manfold. Next on the too do list for the car is a few more cosmetic upgrades to "clean" the look a little, followed by a higher flow fuel pump and higher flow injectors, coils and new plugs. I am still currently undecided on what i want to do with the turbo side of things, whether to go down the track of a highflowed turbo or opt for a complete replacement, once that is decided, then comes the bigger decision on what aftermarket ECU to use, Halteck, Link, nistune etc etc As things get done and upgraded i will update this with more pictures and info

Thanks for that, im putting a high flow pump in soon so i will make sure i pay extra attention to this when re-assembling.

Mine also has a leak, Iv checked the lines coming from the pump on mine and they seamed ok, I have a feeling that it's ether the upper part of the tank or the filler hose as mine only leaks when I fill it right up. Is yours consistently leaking?

Awesome, Thank you for that

The mechanic that put the clutch in couldn't get the drain plug out of the box to change the oil, so there is a good chance it may be low, i might find a hoist, have a crack at the plug myself and throw some oil in there. thanks

It is a S2. Currently has: GFB elec boost controller, GFB elec blow off valve, FMIC, 3" magnaflow exhaust, Extreme twin plate race series clutch, Tein coil overs, break upgrade Planned: Larger turbo, plazmaman intake, upgrade ignition system, upgrade fuel system, aftermarket computer, E85, tune, upgrade suspension, eventually forged internals. 4th gear syncro is on its way out so ill throw a new gearbox in it next and then swap out the diff to a stronger LSD. should make for a reliable fun car. My target is 300rwkw.

Hola Hello everyone, I've been around R31s for quite a few years, purchased my first R33 a couple of months back and love it. Already spent some coin on it, with much much more to come. Looking at making it a reliable 300kw street/track car.
