  1. I returned the water via the stock fitting into the block (just had a blanking bolt in there, but was actually drilled/tapped right through already). For the oil return I tee'd into the head oil drain. As for reliability, turbo went on in mid-2009, still going strong Haven't actually ever had it on the dyno, so no idea what power figures it's putting out, but sees 10PSI all day long without an issue (running an eManage Gold piggyback). That said, it doesn't actually get driven much these days, so it's only done a little under 50,000kms in that time, and very little track work.
  2. Hi VultureMotorsport, Can I please get a price on a set of something around the 550cc mark (or a little bigger) which will be a drop-in replacement on the stock R33 gts-t rail (side-feed)? Also, for comparison, can I get a price on something around the 750cc range and the 1200cc range? Cheers, Samon.

    Daily Drivers

    I'm with Shannons, and back when I had two cars, I had the R33 insured as an 'occasional use' vehicle and the Lancer as 'daily use' - dropped the combined insurance cost to not a lot more than just insuring the Skyline by itself. There was no auditing of the 'restrictions' of each vehicle's use (i.e. number of days/kms per week), I guess it comes down to an honesty policy and the fact that you can't be driving both at once, so the chances of an accident/claim aren't actually doubled... Rego on the other hand... yeah that does suck... unless your non-daily is old enough to qualify for club rego...
  4. I wouldn't say "the same", but "interchangeable" - yep. Personally I think the Series 1 fascia looks better, less 'bulgy', and the plastic (once you strip off the horrible rubber stuff) is nicer, but this was what I could find when I needed one, so that's what I've got now
  5. Okay - to answer my own question, it fits just fine.
  6. Assuming this is a response to my post above - I only swapped the dash surround, i.e. the fascia that surrounds the climate control, headunit, mirror controls and cluster, not the cluster itself.
  7. Just to answer my own question - yep, it fits fine
  8. Hey guys, As the title suggests, wanting to know if the dash surround/fascia from a series 2 R33 is a direct fit into a series 1? Looking at pictures they appear to be slightly different shapes, so I assume they aren't interchangeable, but wanting to know if anyone has done the swap (either direction)... Series 1: Series 2:
  9. Do you know if the dash surround (http://www.sau.com.au/forums/uploads/monthly_01_2016/post-142248-0-40030900-1453454029.jpeg) is a direct fit for a GTS-t?
  10. Again with the resurrecting of an ancient thread... but does the dash surround from an R33 GTR fit into a GTS-t?
  11. How 'low' would this hang on a moderately low 33?
  12. Bump... where abouts are you located?
  13. Can someone please run mine, ECR33-022795? My copy of FAST is coming up with 'Model series can not be found for this VIN'. Thanks!
  14. Interested in the seats... where are you located?
  15. Didn't, but the title states 'Full Series 2 Interior' so figure it was worth a try!
  16. Do you have the front seatbelts, if so, condition and price?
  17. Price and condition of the front seatbelts?

    Spotted WANZI on High Street Road just before 6PM tonight, gave a wave and got one back
  20. Hey mate, been a while since I did the RB25DE+t conversion, but I'll have a go at answering your questions... I took the water from the heater line on the firewall, just behind the head and slightly to the drivers side, just before the heater tap (which is just there, you'll see it, got a little cable moving the tap itself). Yes, it is this one which is the feed, you'll obviously need to add your t-piece in before the heater tap (i.e. on the drivers side of the tap) so tat it still gets water when the heater tap closes. I returned the water via the standard turbo banjo fitting on the block - now I believe the S1 engines had the water return fittings on the block for both DE and DET, whereas the S2 only had it on the turbo variant, luckily I had a S1 so it was just a case of removing the stock blanking bolt and chucking in the stock turbo water return line one. Hope that helps!
  21. This is something that I'm worried about too...
  22. You can just hang one of the speaker things on your window if you like...
  23. I'm in with a passenger, but as above - it's not that I need a band-expander, I just don't have a radio at all.

    That'd be me... were you in the white R31 with the 'Classic Skylines Australia' stickers?
  25. Should be there - hopefully the weather is in our favour!
