The performance comes from here...

Hah, and I was back down in Kiama yet again this afternoon.

*waves* That'd be my car, with me deep inside trying to make room for people scabbing lifts

To be honest, I have no idea what the .62 rear means, looking at JustJap there's things like A/R? And last dyno I had 202.1rwkw, was quite happy with that, though I've still got the stock AFM, so I'm thinking I'd max out at 230 with that, which is more than enough for me; I don't take it to WSID or the track, it's just a street car.

Yeah, I'm having the injectors and fuel pump definite, and working on what I should do re: turbo, whether to just get my stock one rebuilt so it's like new, or find one I can just drop in and have it run nicely. Not after huge power figures, but I'd like a bit more grunt when I mash the heavy pedal.

In terms of mods already, nothing substantial. Enginewise, FMIC and pod filter really. Power FC and AVC-R to control things, PFC needs a retune anyway (had to reset it a while ago), and I'm sure the AVC-R has never been looked at. In terms of turbo, looking at slightly over 1k max, not sure whether to have it all rebuilt or to buy a new one that'll just go straight in where this one is (eg lowmount).

I get my car back this Friday from the smash repairers (not my fault), and I'm looking to do some upgrades. So far, what I'm thinking of is: -550cc injectors -Bosch 040 fuel pump -Full Power FC retune (hopefully to include multiple boost settings on AVC-R) What I'm also looking at is would I need my turbo high-flowed? A mate of mine with an S15 had his done, and was saying that it opens it up more. Keep in mind I have a S1 R33, and god knows the turbo probably hasn't been touched since day 1, so could probably do with a rebuild/highflow(if available). Any other suggestions? I'm working on a bit of a budget here, don't wanna go too overboard. If this is feasible, and would yield good results, I'm all for it.

You suuuuure you don't wanna post?

Tried twisting the knobs on the side of it all the way forwards (so as you're looking at them, clockwise)? I'm 6'3 and with them both all the way forwards, have no trouble fitting in the car even without having the seat all the way back.

Hey, was wondering if you'd split the interior trim so I could get just the driver's side A-pillar trim? Mine's got some rather horrible holes in it from the previous owner installing a boost/AFR gauge.

I've got a wiring diagram around here somewhere, and a list of parts needed. All up was going to cost sub-$50. *digs around*

Thanks to everyone for the replies, fortunately, insurance loves me and is kindly donating a new front end to my car. Sorry I didn't reply to all the PM's Swamped under with phonecalls from insurance.

Looking to see if anyone has any headlights around that will fit a S1 R33, I think I had S2 headlights in the car previously but that's all over now. I'm in Wollongong, NSW, so if anyone in Sydney has them it'd be awesome, save on postage. Thanks!

What difference is there with fitting the CF bonnet onto a R33 GTST as opposed to a GTR? I'd assume if anything it'd be slight differences down towards the front end?

Well the front bar is a complete loss (but it was shit anyway, no biggie), my driver's side headlight is gone, bonnet is gone, and the bit between bonnet and front bar is gone. Need to get metal straightened, and the lip around the drivers headlight where the fender goes into a point is all curled up... Yeah, I haven't slept yet so I've been thinking about just going 400R front bar and not getting the full kit.

So. I've been in a bit of an accident today, and as a result now have to replace front bar, fenders (possibly, not definite), headlights, bonnet, and I've recently discovered, radiator too (intercooler pushed back into radiator ). I figure if I've got to get all that, part of me is just screaming to get the R334 kit from Motorkitz (www.motorkitz.com for those not in the know), but with the C-West front bar, and nice smooth fenders. (Would prefer a GTR style bar, but I'll see what's available). By rights, once I've got the metalwork all fixed up (as there was a bit of bendys in the.. ahh I dunno what it's called. The big metal bar that the bonnet lift-holder-thingy sits in), I'll be getting a new kit. Anyone got one of these? I'm thinking of getting the CF bonnet to save a bit on painting, but if it's in my interest I'll probably just go for the fiberglass one, and then I guess I'll be looking for flush pins, as for less attention. Any thoughts?

Haha, new Tetris High Score today, got 154. Fark. I really gotta get this shit sorted out. I hate having no money.

Hi, do you have the driver's side A-pillar intact? Mine's got holes from a dodgy pillar guage install, looking to replace it If so, how much? Also, do you have both of the stalks? (indicator, I noticed you have the washer one...) Once again, prices?

Do you still have the A-Pillar plastic from the driver's side? I'm after that and the climate control, have to get it posted to Wollongong...

Hah! Usually my Knock is ok, but it hit 125 when I was planting it from 0 - 100 after pulling over on the freeway (nature calling). Oops. Time to try out the ground zero approach

Ohhhh what! I parked in that carpark that was designated in the first post, was there till 12.30 or so... then had to bail

If any of you are still to come, seeing as you're leaving Syd at 11 I might be around there at 12 or so, just to pop my head in. < 0.02

Might pop in and say hello; not like I'll be coming to Sydney then back home. *note to self, get diary*

Whoo! Heh, sorry about my car being in the way there. Backwards pressure on the fuel pump; she came good after a few minutes settling.

Good good good fun. Except for the run-in with the local constabulary on the way home. Anyone else have that kinda vertigo feeling when you got home? Like when you spin round and round and then stop, and your head feels like you're still going around... At about 7pm I still felt like I was sliding sideways.
