  4. hey guys i recently got a 1995 r33 with a 3 plug pink label AFM, and i have had it diagnosed on a computer to have an error code on the computer. The skyline was an auto but had been converted to a manual before i puirchased the car. It is still running the auto ecu. My problem is that the car will randomly decide to stop, sometimes it will drive fine for ages, other times it will stall on startup, there appears to be no set pattern to it. I was told by someone that manual and auto skylines have a different coloured sticker on their AFM box, pink for auto, green for manual. I have also been told that its pink for series 2 and green for series 1. I was hoping someone could help me, as this problem is driving me up the wall. Thanks guys
  5. I was looking on the rocket industries site, and was going to get prices on arias pistons as well. As it stands though i can get ACL Pistons for $1020 through work. Is there much of a difference when it comes to the different brands?
  6. Hi guys, i was just wondering if any of you have used ACL products before, i hadnt heard of them myself till just the other day at work. I was thinking bout getting some forged pistons in my car and just thought id ask if anyone else had used them and the pro's and cons of them. Thx guys. Oh and also, should i just use standard size as opposed to the .5 or 1.0. How much trouble/money is it going to be if i was to put in the bigger size?
  7. Hi i presume that the light up skyline is the same on the 4 door as on the 2 door when it comes to making it light up again, also was wondering what exactly is EL??? Thx guys
  8. Hi guys. Umm yeh i agree stealth, i got no intention of doing this kind of stuff myself cause i dont know squat about mechanics, just try to get a rough understanding of things thats y i wanna get an apprenticeship as mechanic, not to get a trade more for personal interest cause they get paid f**k all. I just wanna work out roughly what parts im going to need to buy and how much cash im going to have to need to get em. I dont wanna just fix my engine then have to go through and change shit later on when i get stuff done to it, thats y i mentioned i wanted to get round 300hp further down the track which isnt too hard out of a 25. I appreciate the help you guys have offered me, i never thought forums would be so useful. Thanks for puttin up with my lack of understanding and explaining stuff in detail for me. About getting the rebuild stealth, i was thinking if i get a rebuild, its done i know its all sweet wont have to change stuff, whereas i buy another engine, i dont know wat problems it may have. I basically just want to do this right the first time, so i dont need to worry bout it again.
  9. In regard to your post stealth, boring out cylinders, gives the car a touch more torque right? Are forged pistons already bored out or can they be bored? Just for general idea wat would the conrods, bearings etc that you listed before cost roughly, just a general quote to give me some idea of the cash im going to need for this thing, also would i be better buying a new engine as opposed to rebuilding my one?
  10. What do you use to shield pods, ive never seen or heard of them being shielded. Do you have to make them up yourself or can you buy them? If you buy them roughly how much are they?
  11. yeh its a stock fuel pump but the car hasnt had a great deal of work done to it so i cant see how that should be a problem. Ive got a cooler, pod, exhaust, aluminium radiator and thats bout it engine wise.
  12. About the fuel issue, what would be making it screw up? What would of been responsible for the oil dipstick shooting out and spraying half my engine bay with oil? I thought they could handle up to 14 PSI but it wasnt healthy to drive around with it all the time as long as u had a decent cooler and exhaust to back it up. I sort of thought maby may have been a small problem there that would of came out eventually but by cranking the boost it bought it out alot sooner, and probably to a greater extent. Do you think it would be better to rebuild this engine, or get another 25, and use mine for spare parts whats still good on it? Which would be the cheaper option? Thx for your help guys im gunna try and get a mechanic apprenticeship somewhere, cause i dont really know much at the moment but where i live its a hole, not really any imports around here, which is what i want to be working on. So you guys are a great help at the moment, i appreciate it. Oh also 1 last thing, is there anyway to check if the kms have been wound back and if so, what can you do about it if they have?
  13. Hi everyone, ive got a series 1 R33. I got it last November, its only got about 75,000 on the clock at the moment. The other day i turned my boost up to 13 PSI. Ive got a cooler, pod and aluminium radiator so i was under the impression it should be able to handle the boost, but about 10 mins after winding it up, i was flying down a straight near where i live, and my oil light flashed on for a brief second and the car began to sound sick. I drove the car to where i had good light, popped the bonnet and my dipstick had been shot out, and oil had sprayed everywhere. My Temperature did not increase at all on the gadge. I put more oil in the car, turned boost right down and took the car home. I went through my coil packs, disconnecting them one at a time with the car running, and my 2nd cylinder isnt working, when i pulled the spark plug out, there was alot of oil in there. I know ive f**ked a bit up, but what i wanted to know about is, im thinking about putting in forged pistons cause they're stronger or something, i dont really know much but what else would i need to do besides the forged pistons to get it running so the car wont shit itself under higher boost. Also when i was lookin at forged pistons on the net, they had something about oversize n there were 2 sizes, +.020 and +.040. What is the difference and what would be better for me. also what are total seal gapless rings? What else will i need to do to the car to get it running sweet again bearing in mind i want the car to eventually have around 300 RWHP but thats not in the immediate future. My email is [email protected] if anyone wanted to talk to my personally, thanks.
