  1. i had this EXACT same problem. it aint ya coil packs. Its def the sparkys. You can fix this problem for around forty dollars. Go and buy 6x NGK BCPR6ES plugs. From memory, Make sure they are gapped at 0.7mm. Install. Take your 33 for a blast. Come back here and tell me if it works.
  2. i wouldnt be able to give you extremely technical advice on this, but i reckon that is complete shite... you may be on the ball assuming they havent installed something correctly and have caused the problem, but proving it is another thing hey. Maybe have it towed to another mechanic who works on imports quite regularly.
  3. frign relay box... i had the same problem, xcept my window would go down but not back up! i think it was to do with loose soildering inside the box.
  4. had this problem with my Blitz. Prick of a problem with open to atmosphere BOV's when you dont have other in-cabin electronics to eliminate the problem.
  5. <-- farkin RB20E... jokin!
  6. Manual for sure mate. Youll save having to change your brake pads as often with downshifting to slow down & lower your speed, although you'll have the clutch to worry about. But providing to you dont treat the clutch like a ratbag you should have no problems with it slipping for quite a long time... the standard clutch in my R33 lasted 114,000K's, providing that i bought the car with 70,000 on the odometer. Was a beauty of an excuse to chuck a ceramic 6 puck X-tremer in! Then again, you're gonna own a turbo skyline, manual... > who wouldnt treat it like a ratbag :-D
  7. P1E. You in South Australia? why dont ya check out Car Toys on (Port Rd [i think])? They do some sort of internal headlight treatment especially for the R33 and soarer front lamps. They come out chrome internally, instead of the ugly dark stuff that comes standard. I cant remember how much they are charging however... i THINK that the Red R33 that used to be owned by the JMS boys had the treatment done, looks pretty nice! What i do with mine, i use the AUTOSOL metal polish on the outside cover, they come out pretty clear after that anyhow. If youre not is South Aus, i apologise for my lack in observation!
  8. my 94 has No bags, No ABS. Front wheel lockups can be fun at the stupidest of times...
  9. mattysaidso: The cheapest ive ever seen a stealth wing is at www.carmate.com.au they want $220 + $50 freight.... not too bad i reckon (unpainted) + they said $50 for me coz im in south aust. so could be cheaper depending on your location JMS here in Adelaide, the bunch of creamers, wanted something ridiculous like $395 for one unpainted.... :bs!:
  10. Don't know if i be even 50% sure on this one, but isn't it a turbo timers purpose to enable the turbine wheel to stop spinning while oil or water is still running through the unit.? (as with the engine not running, the turbine is still spinning and less/no oil is being run through it) i was told this by an ex semi truck driver. And i believe his theory, as when i have come home after a late night thrash, ive left the 33's timer on for 2 minutes, and i can DEFINATELY hear it still spinning after engine shut off, and it slowly comes to a hault. (You hear the tiniest little tick tick tick tick.....tick....tick..............tick..............tick....... hault) Like i said, not 100% if its correct but i suppose it makes sense. I set the timer to 5 minutes after i was told that by the truck driver, and he was right, tiniest amount ticking this time after the timer cut out. But i still question myself as to if its just heat expansion around the dump pipe or something.... Basically with setting a time amount i believe it should simply be judged at how hard youve been pushing your car. My auto setting is 2 minutes however, gotta drive like a granny these days with these piggys becoming more intelligent with jap modifications... I have a turbo timer programmed into my alarm. Absolute f**king brilliant innovation i tell ya... Keeps the chops happy for when i copped my last yellow defect sticker and had to get a full vehicle inspection! i just connected the earth tab to disable the alarm, and no more TT! :kick: If the truck drivers theory is incorrect by the way, someone post me the real deal of the turbo timers purpose, as id really love to know if its true.
