Hey Guys, Update battery is all charged but having an issue turning it over. It cranks but wont turn over. Got it to turn over Twice but any acceleration and it will die. I suspect dud battery or alternator. Uploaded a video for you guys! Thoughts? Starting.mp4 Started.mp4

Hey All, So I have gone with a new Blitz SE intercooler kit from Just Jap. This will allow me to use the current/stock holes. In the future if I do go with a intake manifold, I will get the piping changed. What do you guys think?

Hi Guys, Update. battery was dead and even though charged now, it hasn't got enough cranking amps to start the engine. Also have decided to go with a Blitz SE Intercooler kit from Just Jap and use the standard intercooler piping holes. This was also the setup for the old cooler. Now need to find a good battery.

Oh man, even after the battery was charged still not cranking. Currently have a repco battery in it. May not have enough cranking amps. ill update soon.

Hey all, Got a quote for the cooler piping to be re done completely. Looking at $1750 parts and labour. This seems a bit pricey. Opinions?

Welcome mate. I have found heaps of info on here and I am sure you will find everything you need, if not I am sure someone will have the answers you are looking for. Post up some photos of the car

Hey guys, update had to put the battery to charge was completely dead. Tomorrow I'll try and start it and see how we go.

Hey Steve, thanks will keep you posted on the build. I've been trying to find info on this car, would have thought I could have found the previous owner or something on here.

Awesome clean example. GWS

Amazing, what a great clean example. Great work mate!

Thanks guys for the replies. I'll give Carved coatings a call and go from there. Anyone have a contact who can help with cutting and re-bending the current cooler piping to fit new cooler?

Hey All, My build is coming along well. I need to get some custom intercooler piping made up. Currently have mild steel piping and not sure if this is good enough. Opinions? The web is devided from my searching. Anyone have suggestions of a workshop that can do this in the Narre Warren area and also how much do you think its going to cost? If mild steel is fine just need a few modifications made to the current for the new intercooler. Attached some photos. Thanks guys.

Do you have full boot trim and plastics. Will you post to 3004 if so?

Yeah that bumper is such garbage. I keep leaning on it and the cracks just keep getting worse. Such cheap fibre glass. I'll check out all my options this weekend and report back. Dan

Hey GTSBoy, You may be right but when remove the boot latch (pictured) it sits perfectly fine on all sides.

Hey adms15, Yeah I did try that, there isn't much of a difference. Ill try again in daylight and let you know what I come up with. If anyone knows of any links or help online please let me know, I have googled so much. Dan

This is getting so annoying. The gaps for my boot are huge and not like others, it's like my boot latch is not catching but it is cause I need to unlock my boot to open it when shut. I can literally put my whole hand through the gaps and pop open the boot. If I remove the latch the catches the boot lock the boot sits really well but ofcourse this is not going to work cause I need to lock my boot. Anyone have any opinions on what's going on here. Check out these photos. Huge gaps.

Awesome thanks so much. I got a secondhand boot and was able to rekey the lock to my key using your tutorial.

Hey Guys, Thought I would let everyone know I found the issue. The rod going from the door key lock had like a piece attached to it, like one of the rod connectors, this one was yellow. This was just dangaling. Using the above image as a reference, I removed the actuator and found that this yellow attachment actually should be attached directly to the actuator in a special slot. It's kind like a pivot arm. I think a repair was done to the plastic part of the actuator but failed causing it to just dangle down from the key lock. Super glued it all back together and works perfectly. Attached are some photos.

Hey Ossy, Yeah not sure mate, looking online at heaps of photos some have the gaps and some don't. Do you have a photo of yours you can share for the group? Dan

OK Update found images online and I think the issue may be the aftermarket tail lights. This image of a Skyline currently at jack phillips jdm has similar sort of gaps. What do you guys think?

Hey Guys, What is going on? Newbie here, check out my post on the Newbie Introductions page. So guys I am building this r33 I bought site unseen off the interwebs. The guy told me it has an issue starting amongst other issues. I will be posting regular updates on here and also posting videos on YouTube of my build progress. The first issue I will be tackling is the starting issue, I think it may be electrical or fuel related. what do you think the issue could be. Post your comments below. Talk soon all

Hey GTSBoy, Thanks for your quick reply mate. Yeah I did that. Seems to be different from the otherside. Ill check again on the weekend. for reference, it's this is the ROD but on mine I can't seem to hook it into the actuator. I must be missing something here.

Hi All, Strange issue in the R33 I just purchased. The drivers side door wont lock or open with the key, can lock from inside when flicking the latch. Did some investigation, removed the door interior trim and found that there is a rod from the key lock just dangling/hanging down not attached to anything. I would think that this rod would attach to the actuator but I can't see anywhere on the actuator this rod would link to. I see other rods link to the actuator using colour coded clips but cant find where this one goes. Anyone have suggestions? Ill post pics this weekend. Thanks

Hey Guys, Had to replace my Boot/Trunk Lid for my series 1 R33 as the other was broken into. Got one from a guy on gumtree pretty cheap but oh man for whatever reason its not aligning and the gaps are huge, can fit my fingers in them. Anyone have any ideas or what the go is? spent hours on it and got nowhere. The main issue is where the taillights and the skyline garnish is. Not sure if it is because of the aftermarket tail lights. See attached photos. Any help would be great guys.
