PM-R33

Bar the shocks and springs everything else can be purchased by yourself through any store.

Well this is the first i'm hearing of it. I don't see why your car would be different to any one elses. Did you try the rear right hand side? It isn't something that is simply damaged on the hard line on the rear left hand side? You originaly said the fronts. So did you try fitting the fronts? I can tell you they are the same kits. Hell even the GTST kits fit the GTR's. The main difference between the GTST and the GTR kits is that the GTR retains the factory hard line since there is no need to replace it. The GTST kit obviously goes straight into the caliper. However if you wanted to get rid of the hard line you can just git a GTST kit. That's how nearly identical they all are. Your sticker is probably different because by my records it says you orderd a R33 GTR kit, therefore they would have just put that sticker on there for which I ordered your kit for. When I order a "GTR" kit, they usually put the sticker as pictured above so people don't think it only fits the one model.

Who did you buy it from? Obviously not from my group buys? The Hel kits suit R32 and R33 GTR. I have sold probably 30 of those kits alone through the group buys and no one has had any problems. They are the same. I'd be contacting the supplier to whom you purchased the kit from.

What are you talking about? How can you say "for a fact" when you have no idea what brand the braided brake line kit is? For example the Hel braided brake line kits fit both a R32 and R33 GTR as they retain the factory hard lines coming out of the caliper.

Stacie did the other week. Said heaps of potholes and shit every where.

Do your braided brake lines retain the hard lines that come out of the caliper or do they get rid of them and go directly into the caliper? Most brands keep the factory hard line and just replace the rubber line. The kits are usually the same for a R32 and R33 GTR.

Spark plugs? 7s are fine.

I didn't even notice that. Yeah mine say streetfighter stock car. The brake pads were ment to be BP-10 street/track pads. I'm assuming that's them. I dunno.

I can run another batch if need be, no biggy.

$1250 + freight from Just Jap.

Ok well that clears that up a lot. I'm just doing 3D mapping of my fuel map and ignition map to smooth it out a bit more and was wondering about the ignition timing at idle. I thought timing wasn't adjusted on idle due to it going into closed loop, but then thought you might be running 42-45 degrees on idle and wasn't so sure if I was right or wrong! Didn't realise on the FC the idle was so low to the edge of the table.

You lied!

Another quick question regarding timing on idle. On your map you have like 42-45 degrees at idle. Does the car actually run that much timing on idle, or does it not adjust timing from the map when it is in idle? If so, what does running advanced timing on idle actually do? Just trying to get my head around this at the moment because I think I have confused myself.

I just keep thinking how I could paint them with exposing some carbon fibre without looking out of place, hmmm....

Got our 15th person so group buy closed! If every one could make payment within the next week or two that would be appreciated. If you can't, no worries, just give me a heads up though.

Yeah i'm sure every one will hit the piss on Saturday night, should be good.

What the hell since when are you selling yours?

Oh yeah you did to lol. Well i'm glad every one is getting them and happy with them so far

I have paid for some hard core over priced car parts in my life, but that my good sir takes the cake. $550 for a gear knob is the craziest thing I have ever heard of.

Oh nice! Congratulations, you win the "Who get's their full kit first and not in 5 different parts" competition lol. But yeah let us know how you go and whether you have any dramas

Awesome. One position available if any one wants it, after that I will close the group buy. Updated the first page with people that have made payments.

Wow that looks great! I'm not a huge fan of the BRIDE graduation pattern but as a whole the interior really flows well. Good luck with the sale man.

Post up pics when you are done!

The whole kit? Including caliper adaptors?

Well think of it this way. The bracket is bolted onto the head. The CAS is bolted onto this bracket by three bolts. The spindle from the CAS simply sits inside the exhaust cam and free spins as the camshaft rotates. Inside the CAS bolted to the shaft is a plastic like circle with 6 holes of different sizes that rotates through a measured point. This is how the CAS knows which cylinder to fire. Now you said the bracket had snapped clean off, meaning there is nothing really holding the CAS in place other than the fact the bolts are holding it through the timing cover. There would be a lot more vibration coming through the spindle and possibilty of it starting to rotate off of its axis. Add to the fact that you said the semi circle in the exhaust camshaft has now snapped leads to the fact it has been vibrating and putting stress onto the spindle. So without seeing the car and only going off what you have said, I can assume that there is a high chance of the CAS being damaged in some way given how sensitive it is. Even a slight movement of it can throw the timing way out. So without being dodgy the way to fix this properly is to get a new exhaust camshaft, a new CAS bracket and putting it all back together to see if it works. If it is still running rough than most likely the CAS is damaged and you will need a replacement of that aswell.
