Well I unhooked the pfc, which was still plugged in fine, blew out any dust and re-checked any connections. Put it all back together and havn't had a problem yet. Did a 400km round trip and it went fine so I'm hoping the problem has been fixed by a unplug and plug haha

Thanks fellas, I will have a look into the immobilsor and try disconnect it all and see what happens

Checked the power fc, battery, afm plug and any other connection I could see and everything seems fine. Have to do 400km round trip tomorrow so hopefully it doesn't play up on me. If it is the AFM that is shagged or the turbo timer would an auto electrician be able to test them to see if they are actually the problem without me having to replace them? The car is also running an alarm system with imobiliser so it could possibly be that aswell?

The exhaust was welded when it was off the car so It can't be from that. BUT they might have had it on when welding a bracket or two and I'm guessing they wouldnt have bothered to disconnect the battery. And yep, I am certain it started after the exhaust was done. Still idles fine, no surging or anything like that. It has cutout before on me after coming off load and clutching it, but I am pretty sure that might have something to do with the knock off hks ssqv I am running? But this is different cut out. It has happened 2 times when I have been cruising along with no gear change and not under hard load. Just cuts dead. And other times I have pulled up, let the car idle and get out to do something and a random amount of time say 30seconds later it cuts out. I forgot to add in my first post I am running a HKS turbo timer. Could something be going wrong with it? Cheers for the input so far everyone.

Hey guys, I have a r33 with the 25det. I have jsut had the cannon cut off and a set of shotgun tips put on. Now I have a problem. It drives fine, idles fine and doesnt backfire or anything weird. When I am driving along or pull up at idle it cuts out. Starts back up and runs fun for X amount of kilometres then happens again. I have done just under 100km and it has happened 4 times now. I know the exhaust shop had to take out the oxygen sensor to do the exhaust. Could there be a problem with it now after being fiddled with? I am running a power fc with boost control, front mount, plenum etc. Any help wpuld be great, Cheers.

Hey all. Ive sen a few pics of 33.4 conversions and like the look. I need to paint and re-kit my 33 4door and wouldnt mind having a go at it. Can anyone tell me who sells the guards and bonnet. And what I should be expecting to pay for all the parts. Cheers.

There are alot of dodgy cheap ones out there but some aren't to bad for the price. I paid $550? from memory and it came with a throttle body adaptor and everything you need to do the swap. Bolted on nicely and had no problems

Hey dude, I recently put on one of the vulture motorsport plenums. If you have done a bit of work on cars before you should have no big problems. It is a fiddly job, some of the bolts are in a f**ked spot and a few clips and stuff gave me a bit of curry but in the end it wasn't to bad. I re-used the manifold gasket that came off the old plenum. Just put gasket goo on it and it's sweet as. Wouldn't hurt to fit a new gasket though. With the plenum I have it has an adaptor to run the stock throttle body. I did this. With the adaptor the throttle body sits way forward, so I could only run a 90 degree silicone bend straight off the throttle body. I pulled the washer bottle out and cut a hole through where it used to sit. I wanted to keep the bottle in for legal reasons so I took it the the plastic welders. Got it cut in half, keeping the half that has the motors and got the side closed up. It now sits back in the stock position with hardly any f**king around

Awesome, thanks for the dude. When my shed in finally built I'll be having a crack at it!

Thanks for the replys

Hey all, Tried searching but I couldn't get it to work. Semi computer retrarded. I have a knock off hks ssqv on my 33. I am curious if there is a plumb back adaptor I can buy and where from so I can keep the boys in blue a bit more happier. Thanks

Hey mate, pics of the kkr would be good. I read that thread you made about the whining noise it was making. Did you end up finding out if it was the turbo or something else?

I have a gun metal grey 4 door 33. The clear coat is f**ked. I am lookng at getting the black flakes off of this site. Now what would I have to do for this paint.....So after I rub it all back then what? It is stone chipped and needs a few dents fixed. So after the prep work is done....Do I have to coat it in gunmetal grey or what kind of undercoat, followed by the flakes in clear and then clear it over again?

I'll continue this with pm mate.

Thanks for the reply. Well i'm gunna go past the highflow and get a bigger turbo. Help me decide please haha.... I have a 25det, power fc, front mount, plenum already. I want to go high mount with an enternal gate. Why you ask? I want a high mount setup purely because I love the look of it over a low mount, and I want te power. I will be getting injectors aswell and possibly cams to support the upgrade. I am currently running 196rwkw with a stock turbo on 11psi. I want a good increase in power, say a turbo capable of 250rwkw or more while still trying to have some response and not be a complete lag master. What would you recommend in a high mount kit?

Itll help a lil bit more if you put up what supporting mods you have buddy

I just had a quick gaze at this thread. I don't know if it has already been covered or not....but what do these high flows compare with it the cunrrent lineup of hypergear turbos? Example is the op6 rear high flow the equivalant to a tr43 or something like that? I have a power fc, front mount, plenum, apexi boost control. Just trying to work out if I should go the high flow route or something like a tr43 or 44. Lost!

Any idea what it would cost to freight to around brisbane?

Hey mate, where are you located?

I'm keen. If you could email at [email protected] when we have to pay. Please use that email incase I forget about this thread haha

Frozenwaffles: The insert for the coolant hose was loose on mine aswell. It took it to the exhaust shop and got them to spread it with a machine they have ever so slightly. Then put a heap of sealant on and it tapped in fairly easy with a rubber mallet. The nipple were pretty hard to get into my housing, but they did go in. Just make sure you use some thread tape. The bolts in my throttle body and a bit off. The bolts they supply don't fit so I dodgied up mine with some other bolts I had. Need to go over mine again and fix up the rough bits I rushed. Im working in a different state and was due to go back, so she was all rushed because I needed to shift the 33. I forgot to add... It wasn't a perfect casting. Only one major defect which was underneath where the cooling pipe bolts on. It has 6 bolts I think. They all went in except one because the cast hole was about 3mm out. I just used extra sealant and bolted the rest up. It hasn't leaked and runs sweet. What were the ebay jobs going for?

I bought a greddy style plenum KIT from vulture motorsport. Cost me $565 deliviered. It also came with a throttle body adapter and all the other shit you need to do this. Was a prick of a job. Im not a mechanic but like to do my own work so I had a crack at it. I Was pretty much stumped with it half on until I found this thread. Awesome write up I run a 90 deg silicone bend straight off the throttle body. I had to cut the existing hole a bit more to make it work. Got a new lenth of straight intercooler pipe and had a vaccum nipple for something on the Power fc and the AAC line fitting welded in. Because the washer bottle now didnt fit I took it to the plastice welders. They chopped the bottle in half, right beside the internal pumps and sealed it back up. It half the capacity of stock now but at least it isn't a defect and you still have enough water to wash the windescreen. The tosser who owned my car before me cut up the stock plenum and put the throttle body to the front greddy wank style. It hurt tuning and I have NFI why it was done. Ill put up some before and after shots....

Thanks for the replys, going for a cruise now
