there is plenty of break in advice on these forums. try a search.

when i cleaned my shitbox i, drowned it in degreaser blasted it senseless with a high pressure water cleaner left it to dry. key here, left it to dry. didnt wet the batt and kept the ignition off. ran fine first go after that. might have even got a whole 1fwkw from the effort!! but yeah, i wouldnt exactly say my method was the best....

my mate was in vic for about 2 years, but could have the car because of his qld licence and it was registered here. he fell asleep on a long drive that he should have stopped during and did some damage. dont know how this affected his insurance, but he was only 19 at the time iirc. he is still paying a shitload for a since-bought-unmodified-car (cept stereo which we did) and insurance is still killing him.

i figured the bit in there on how to "tune" it may have helped with the "backfire/stalling" issues you mentioned, but if not, and you cant get a spacific set of install instructions, look up your closest import workshop and see what they have to say....

well i guess im not speaking from experience in my situation. but my best mate is in the army and bought a r33 gts-t as his first car. hey pays ~650 a month in repayments and does earn a fair bit (~46kyr) and along with living expenses it can be hard for him at times to "enjoy himself". along with the cost of tires, insurance (he's had 2 accidents, 1 at fault but only his car involved) and fuel it can be hard for "average" wage earners to own such a car. that said, if you manage your money just a little bit and plan ahead, you can own one on shit money, but you dont want to be paying for repairs, insurance and loans.....

this may be of no use to you what-so-ever, but then again, it might be.

i too would have to agree that your getting a little ahead of yourself. i still have a shitty little hatch that i paid 2k for, and have been saving like crazy for a while, and still dont plan to get a line' for another year. but thats only cause i will pay cash for it, screw having a loan + insurance + rego, i dont think i could do it even if i tried. but save then purchase outright and things are alot easier, all the spare money you can throw at mods too if thats your thing. currently the closest thing ive come to "looking" is seeing what the going price is for what level of modification. oh, and trying to snap up good deals on parts for the mods i want to do till i can get my own, i will just have to drive my mates

off the top of my head. the two use different types of AFM's. but i havnt seen the second type before. steve.

any other mods required to the tensioners etc?? or just straight on with everything in the std position? PS ima gunna die if sydneykid doesnt empty his pm in box soon :bonk:

damn straight :jump:

if you have either of these manuals, live in bris, and are willing to lend them for about a week please PM me, or reply here and i will get back to you. i will give some kind of collateral, or a deposit if you wish, cash is obviously NOT preffered as i dont want any dodgy things happening to any money.... i would like to *cough* look *cough* at them for my planned engine build. thanks.

thanks Al are there many good tuners in qld, mainly brisbane for the wolf?? ive heard there are plenty in WA, and that the PFC is the preferred one of the eastern states.... what about self tuning? basic tuning, not pro stuff, just for getting it to a safe lvl to DRIVE to the pro tuner shop?? planning on some upgrades which wont be done near a tuning shop and havent touched on the tuning side of things at all. p.s. utter I.T. geek here, learning software/interface is no challange

are there standalone/external knock sensors available ?

the Wolf3D sounds like a really good deal. Is it a straight swap for the factory ecu like the PFC is?? and could you get an external knock sensor for it for tuning?

mates 93 has 3 in the back.... lump is geh

at a guess, they should also be connected to a hose that comes from the block, and the air should go into the plenum?? im guessing. but thats whats supposed to happen for it to meet emissions regulations. dont have a car here at the moment to check for you

hahaha, just the respones i figured it would get the guy thats helping me with some car work at the moment used to build some small race engines, the blocks would twist cause there wasnt enough "metal" in them to take the abuse and heat they were receiving, only good for 3 races or something he said. but apparently they were cheap to replace or something so the team didnt care...meh

GiJOr33, i think its been said a few times that the 8.3:1 cr is pretty good for this hybrid engine. so i dont think many ppl have actually gone and bought domed pistons (if you can even get them.. i havnt seen any for the rb30) i personally will be going for forged pistons with valve cuts and leaving it at that. might deck the head slightly when i get other work done tho. on another note: a friend of mine was speaking to an engine rebuilder today and mentioned that i was looking into the rb25/30 hybrid. basically the guy said "its one of the stupidist things you can do. the block twists up, and its just been born form the stupid aussie mentality that bigger is better. if it was so good the japs would be doing it." anyone think there is any truth to what he said? 1. its an american mentality 2. the japs DO do it, but they get 3ltr built engines (or so ive been told) so what about the block twisting up. havnt seen it mentioned at all, and i dont believe it. any one else?

yeah, i like the clear blinkers too i found some stuff here front bar : $595.00 skirts : $450.00 grill : $195.00 rear bar and side spats : $495.00 total : $1735 hope i can find it for cheaper than that

haha i got it off here mate, but couldnt find the thread again love the kit, and i like the paintjob too i think it truely looks "tough" and i want something similar (not a copy tho ) hope i can find it for a good price in the near future when i have the cash etc. anyone know the standard going rate for bars and skirts? i dont want the wing. thanks again, [sweN]

hey guys. got this pic off the forums a few days or so ago, and i cant figure out who owns it or what the kit on it is, can someone help my out plz?? thanks. here dont have any editing tools installed at the moment, so i couldnt resize any more soz

i got the impression from a pic i saw on here, near the bottom, that you can use a screw, and maybe just putty for good sealing??

i too would like to know the nitty gritty of the mods you have done RNS11Z

-Joel-. there are a couple of things in this thread that would be good in your pdf too. a few things come to mind right now. 1. more info on the PowerFC ecu and what its capable of (if possible, im going to do someof MY OWN research ) also what other ecu's are worth looking at, and can the stock ecu be used for the interim period without problems? (R33 doesnt specify in the pdf, just says you recommend the PowerFC) 2. fuel system upgrade? what would be a set of injectors worth looking at? what about fuel pump? the Bosch 044 pump got a bit of a rant in another thread i looked through. maybe its worth including as an extra? 3. sump choice? aftermarket or getting baffles installed and maybe enlarging? 4. oil cooler choice? there is a wealth of knowledge floating around here, may aswell tap it oh, if your having trouble with webspace you con put it in mine till you figure out yours PM me if you want EDIT: i do IT and STILL i cannot type

sweet. free to just attend/watch or what? dont have a *line yet, but im saving hard
