Luckily it was my stupidity of not plugging one of the coil looms in properly... Went to do my timing belt this morning, but found that my idler and tensioner were just about crapped. I rang a couple of autobarns and cheapa spares, but they had none in stock but they quoted about 260 (130 for each). Lucky they didnt have them in stock cos I would have been ripped off. There was a post on SAU that said you could get them from a bearing place for but $50 each... What pisses me off about autocar and other car shops is they never have the stuff i need in stock. Autobarn didnt have timing belts (standard or aftermarket, they ordered me in a gates one), aircon and ps belts, or the tensioner and idler (not even in a kit). Does anyone know of a place to get the goods we need for our imports, that always has stuff in stock, particularly the performance stuff (gates\hks timing belts, nismo\performance oil filters, etc..) on or close to the gold coast??

Hey, I have an R33 GTS-t (Stock with Exhaust and Pod) I recently hit 100k and changed my oil (10W50) and filter. New sparkies (iridium). Was gonna do the rest tomorrow. Problem is, the car is now running pretty rough. Sound is hard to describe, kind of a rotary sound maybe??? Any ideas what I done wrong? Maybe I didnt plug one of the coil plugs in properly. Would that cause it? or maybe is there another reason?

I put a request up on thursday http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=147418

In an attempt to make a r33 "unique"

Hey, Can anyone photochop me up an r33 with the series 2 stagea front on it?

I was under the impression that Series 1 (1996 to late 1998) was r33 based, and the Series 2 (late 1998 to 2001) was r34 based?

Hey, There are ppl putting r33\r34 fronts on stageas, so would you be able to do the reverse? (Stagea front on a r33) What is involved with the front conversions to put skyline front on stagea? would it be pretty much the same process to do the stagea front on a skyline? I just want to try and make a "unique" r33 which is damn hard to do.

Hey, Due to the lack of aftermarket rear lights for an r33 sedan, i was wondering if aftermarket r32 rear lights will fit in the r33 sedan s2 rear light casing. Do you think it would fit? R32 Aftermarket Lights R33 Sedan S2 Rear Lights

or even just the lights, garnish not that important at the moment

I have series two lights & garnish on my r33: But I want to swap them for series one lights & garnish:

The main reason I wanted to stroke the 2.5, instead of doing the rb30 conversion is because of the legal issues like emissions, modification certificate and crap

Well what would be required to stroke the 2.5?

Hey, RB30E BORE = 86 STROKE = 85 RB25DET BORE = 86 STROKE = 71.7 Would this stroke the engine to about 2950cc ((2500/71.7)*85) ? Would this be a smart thing to do, if you were to get the RB30E crank balanced, etc... ? Wouldn't it effectively make a RB30DET?
