No sorry mate, dont have any spare....

Being midnight purple I assume it's for a GTR? I have a fibreglass front skirt with an extended undertray, I believe it's the same as on the R33 400R model from Nismo. I can take pic if you like. It has stone chips and some scrapes underneath and easily brought back to as new with a bit of glass and paint.

I'm after an airbox for an R33 GTR including the snorkel, clips, bolts and guide that sits in the passenger front guard. Must be in good condition with no broken clips, or clip mounting points missing. My car has pod filters atm and I'd like to change it back to standard. Would prefer to pickup one from Victoria, but if someone from interstate has one in good nic I would pay for the postage. Cheers

Nice footage there mate! It was a great day, they weather held off, barely, and everybody had heaps of runs. I've gotta say, street tyres just dont cut it when you're pushing it, staying in second all the time and the car comes on boost = sideways My runs were alot more ragged and less controlled, but still fun! Can't wait to go back and give it another go! And Oh Shit! is an extremely well named part of the track, damn thats a steep downhill off camber entry to a corner!

Oh well, i made an extra restraint anyway, looks identical to one pictured above. I figured every car made in the last 30 years would have a secondary restraint from factory, I couldnt understand why an extra one was neccessary....... but done now and ready to go racing!

Thanks guys, now off to Bunnings.

What do these tie down straps look like? Large plastic zip tie?, cable with eye attachment? And with the forward facing glass needing to taped up, Skyline headlights being plastic, do they still need to be taped up? Cheers

Money deposited, forms emailed. See you all there!

Is there an email address we can send scanned entry forms to rather than faxing it? Similar to how the WRX club do? Last time I almost missed out cos I didn't have access to a fax machine.

I'm in.........

Another great day out with the SAU crew. Awesome location, could have done with a few more cars to fill it out. If it was a bit sunnier we might have got more cars and onlookers, but unfortunetly we cant choose the weather..... Pics here... http://img22.imageshack.us/g/p1020561n.jpg/

Another awesome DECA, thanks to everyone who organised and helped make it happen, we all appreciate it! Poor car copped a thrashing after I told myself I wasnt going to because of the hot weather. When youre out on the track all reason seems to go out the window... you just wanna go that bit harder Especially in the battles, competition was red hot all day, everyone taking it to the limit and sometimes past Thats what its all about. Counting down the days to the next DECA already! Seems like i forgot to use my camera for most of the day, thanks everyone for taking photos, incredible shots! Here's one I did manage to take.

Money deposited, will fax the forms tomorrow

Another one for Friday & Saturday please!

Thanks Wayne for organising another great cruise, the car needed a bit of workout and it sure got it! Had to check that the roadkill didnt tear the exhaust off the car, sounded like it bloody did when it happened! Oh well no real damage, just need to clean the excrement off the front bar I wouldnt mind 'hearing' some of that footage AJ Nothing better than cruising with the windows down listening to RB radio.....

Found out what was actually causing the car to run rough. Turns out the inlet manifold gasket had let go into cylinder no6. Never heard of that happening before, i expected it to be electrical or fuel related, oh well at least its running again. I finally get to drive it after about 3 months...... Cant wait

I bought a set of brand new Splitfire coils and fitted them, no diffence at all, definitely not the coils. And I havent done a comp test because I cant see how i could blow a piston/ring when starting at car. It was perfect the last time i drove it when it was parked. On startup the next time, she was running on 5 cylinders. I cant see how it could have mechanincally failed so bad. If electrics arent to blame then youre right, i'll give it a comp test to check if its all good. Thanks for all the help and suggestions guys, keep them comin!

Spent the last hour or so with the multi meter on the GTR. There was continuity on all the wires on the loom from the module to the coil packs, so that loom is ruled out. Cylinder 6 gave all the same responses as the other working cylinders. I unplugged the Power FC and tested continuity from the terminals from the ECU connnector (using R33 GTR ECU pinout diagram) cylinders 1-6 to the loom that plugs into the coil module. Again all was good. I plugged in the old standard Nissan ECU (i'm supprised that it ran at all with bigger afm's and injectors!) and it still wont fire on cylinder 6. So the ECU is sending the signal, the main loom is sending it to the connector at the back of the coil module, and the loom on the other half of the module is ending it to the coilpack. That leaves (from what I can tell) just the module itself. Its getting orders from the ECU but not sending it on the coil no 6. The RB20 module I had looked the same, but the connectors were different (the plastic guides, pins looked the same) so i couldnt test with it. So i might just bite the bullet and buy one from a wreckers and hope that the process of elimination was correct The only other option if its not the module, it it could be injector no 6 (Nismo's I bought new and have only been in the car for 2 - 3 thousand kilometers) or the the signal going goin to it..... I'll try to totally rule out ignition issues then move on to the injectors next.

Thanks Mat, got a multi meter from one of the guys at work so i'll take a crack at it this weekend. I've got an RB20 ignitor box but it doesnt look the same, if the connectors plug in do you do reckon its safe to give it a crack? I dont want to fry anything...

No I haven't, how do I check that? I'm a beginner at this sort of stuff.

I'm hoping someone in Vic might have a coil pack resistor for an RB26 that I can borrow for 5 mins. The R is running on 5 cylinders atm. Basically, i've narrowed it down to cylinder no 6 (unplug the lead to the coil pack and it idles/runs the same). I've changed the spark plugs (no change), bought new splitfires (no change, dammit!) and its still not right. Running a test light to the lead to no 6 coilpack it is getting power, but wouldnt register the triggering signal (terminal E on coilpack). So the way i figure it, it should be the module, or the coil pack wiring loom. It went from running perfectly when i parked it, to running on 5 the next time i started it (2 weeks later) and the only thing i did was disconnect/reconnect the battery in between. I'm hoping someone can lend me one, plug it in for 2 seconds, if it runs on 6 cylinders i'll then go looking for one a wreckers and i've solved my dramas. I cant afford to buy one at a wrecker and for it to not fix the problem. Funds are too low to keep splashing cash. If you can help at all it would appreciated. Cheers

Got the old mixer gas setup on my VT Commodore daily, runs perfectly (had it on there for the last 20,000 kms) It gets 550-600kms for every 72L fill of gas ( half city/ half freeway driving) The car has never back fired once, the workshop that installed it said that he hasnt any of his cars blow up an air box in years, something to do with drawing vacuum from the other side of the mixer or something. Whatever they do it seems to work

Felt it out here in west gippsland, past Pakenham. Sounded like thunder, then roof rattled, then house shook back and forth for 5-10 seconds...... Interseting sensation
