haha shit i gotta walk that way to the bus stop after

Thhhaaats the one!!!!! nice car mate! nah the black one in my profile photo belongs to a mate of mine - I have the white one in the far background of that shot (gotta change that image!). But yeah anyway, I usually spot you in the mornings when I'm on the bus (sadly, its where I do most of my spotting - I hardly drive my 33 as I work in the city! ). But I do reckon I've driven past you in the opposite direction on a weekend some weeks / month or so back on Newton Rd or somewhere around these suburbs!

There's a white s2 R33 GTST that drives up my street in Newton every day - obviously lives around the corner from me , mostly standard except for lowered suspension, great sounding exhaust, origin (i think) rims, and - (don't know if you're on here - if you are; lose that silly high pitched BOV! You're calling out for a canary! -and it sounds like shit) Other than that - bloody nice car. also spot another white S2 33 GTST most mornings on Newton Rd around 8-8:30am, Impul rims, looks nice! this one belongs to a member here i believe - cant remember which username!

my 33 has been doing this in freezing cold weather since the day it landed here from Japan. I thought it was normal 25det behaviour. Only on freezing cold starts though - if the temperature (weather) is say, over 16degrees, it cranks over and purrs away first time without any throttle

there's plenty of valuable knowledge in these forums. Browse around mate! Maybe start here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Sk...ne-t113261.html

Seeing as you aren't just installing a direct replacement ecu, i'd put it all back together with the std ECU and AFM, and give it to a professional. But if you're hard headed like me, and wont give up that easily; re-check all your wiring, and make sure all the connections have been properly made. This caught me out when i replaced my ecu- there was loosely spliced wiring from gadgets installed by a previous owner - and i accidentally disconnected one of the wires without noticing, which caused similar engine behaviour to what you are having. Check your afm + its wiring, make sure that has been connected properly also. Make sure the ecu loom is plugged in firmly too - do the bolt up as much as you can. If you dont do it up tightly, the loom can move slighty, and the engine will splutter and shut itself off.

i seen one of the tk 33's up in the gold coast last year, and i'm pretty sure it was advertised for sale on here sometime in between

no worries mate - its definitely series 1/1.5

that rubber front lip will scrape the shit out of every bump / driveway... especially if your car is lowered. but hey, its rubber. and it doesn't look too bad either! i dont know much about wheel fitment however - the boys here will help ya out. TALBO: http://www.japaneseimportspares.com.au/itemdetails/6278 - $130, and its a genuine item. Get it before someone else does!

i had this EXACT problem. Drove me fkn crazy. high pitched squealing under boost when engine warmed up ended up being exhaust manifold gasket and 3 broken studs!

+1 , i went through with a 2 way. Dont chirp it in there and youll be fine

bit of a stab, i might put a small bet on Bartel for the norm smith

some lovely machinery right there revhead i might pop down to spectate

from memory with my mates ss, 99% sure you do need that key thing Age

that'll be one tough forward line with big bad Baz at the dogs! gonna be a big one tomorrow! i dont really care who wins, but should be a cracker of a game. If i were to pick a winner, i think Geelong.

update - fkn got it!

cheers guys. done a bit more digging in the meantime gonna take another look. if i think i can compress them properly with the tools i have i'll give it a crack! otherwise going to put it all back as mentioned thanks again

hey guys... anyone changed their brake pads (diy) before (specifically 4 piston calipers [33/34gtst])? got any tips for slotting those new pads into the caliper? those pistons are tough to get past without special tools. Dont want to damage anything! Anyone got any tips? Just seeing if there's a simple way to install. otherwise i'm going to put the old pads back in and hand it over to my mechanic! looked at the DIYs but i'm sceptical about some of the methods, and want to avoid damaging anything at all costs

yeah theyre pretty big cards those 9800's! thats something i need to consider when choosing graphics, if it will fit amongst other crap on the motherboard! i bought one of these: http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Mother...?ProductID=2861 Bought it a while back now, its probably come down in price considerably now too. I was reading a review somewhere and the writer described one of the downsides as having a big graphics card installed that blocked physical access to some onboard components... see how i go though!

ah k got ya! i happened to score a nice creative labs sound card from work a few years back- (nothing flash compared to whats out there today though), but the recording quality was fantastic compared to the onboard sound of my old motherboard! It has MIDI input, etc. Great for recording mixes, (which i reckon one is well overdue!) im currently building a new rig too, it'll be multi purpose though. Adding pieces bit by bit as I want good quality / high end hardware, so costs are a lot higher than generic shit, and i cant afford to throw big $ at it all at once. Can't wait till its all up & running! nice tune above too mate! Sounds very JD / Transitions material

you're not the only one, i've tried to PM a couple of others without success... something must be up hey! I was just saying, i've got the steinberg pack here if you're keen, and can host it somewhere and flick you a link to grab it. you after a nice soundcard for recording yeah?

Craig did you get my PM about Cubase? got a copy here for ya! been messing round with FL the last few weeks., i make a nice start, leave it for a few days, come back to it and get bored and frustrated with the sounds/loops/arrangements ive made, start a new track... the standard samples sure are average. i've also been chopping and sampling sounds from various sources. Made a start to a cool little boot from 'Metro Area - Miura' the other day; again got bored of it, started a new one. lol really got to look into getting my hands on some sound packs. Been thinking about buying a big pack made by Joey Youngman / or as he is now known as "Wolfgang Gartner", called 'Jacked out Future House', big collection of his sounds and samples he used to use back when he was making deep house. Judging by some of his deep house work, there should be some great sounds in there

sik uleh sydney spec

they're not that rare; i'd say i've seen at least five for sale in the last few months in various places. but whether there are any clips (or whatever fastens them to the car) that actually arent broken is probably uncommon. The illuminating ones look shithouse

maybe paint the rear centre garnish white or replace with a white one. it looks a bit odd as it is in the photo between the very clear indicators
