  1. Years ago when I first got my R33 ser II GTS25T, I picked up a Turbosmart Tee for it, however, one thing that people have to watch is the hose barbs / nipples on the Tee is slightly smaller in diameter so the factory vac line would pop off if not clamped down properly....Long story short, I was on the freeway that night and all of a sudden I was maxing out my boost gauge at 20+ psi and sideways on the freeway in 5th ! The hose from the Tee to the actuator popped off and the wastegate wasn't opening to regulate boost. The motor would've went 'pop' if I had kept at it but I'd learnt two things that night.... One is to use the correct size vac lines, two is what these motors are capable of with a little extra boost - I wasn't too familiar with these car at the time but that incident accidently showed me the hidden power potential in these RB donks.
  2. sounds like somebody took the babble from the Initial D anime too seriously lol
  3. The p-plater part is total BS, but you cant fight the fine for not wearing P-plates - you lose there. Just one thing tho... I HATE cops ! THEY SHOULD BE ALL DROWN AT BIRTH ! AS NWA ONCE SANG " F U C K T H E P O L I C E "
  4. Some people have absolutely no idea do they ??? A fuel pressure regulator maintains the fuel pressure at a preset level in the system, a raising rate fuel pressure regulator varies the pressure at a certain ratio depending on the current boost level.... Most aftermarket fuel pressure regulators give the tuner the ability to adjust the base pressure to suit their higher flowing aftermarket injectors (most RB engines have it set at approx 40 psi) . It's the FUEL PUMPS and injectors that 'support' your sort of power buddy, the fuel reg plays a small role. It's not rocket science.
  5. Message me if you get sick of posting to yourself and want to part with them for $600. cheers.
  6. You WILL 100% need the oil restrictor in the block when using the Tomei oil pump !!! And preferably fit a fast oil drain at the back of the head as well if possible. It's a great oil pump....too great.
  7. How can you be certain they are genuine Cusco ? Does it have the actual company logo on the arms ? Thanks
  8. I think you'll have trouble giving this stuff away..... Ring the local council mate ! I think garbage collection is Wednesdays.
  9. They make great door stoppers ! perfect weight.
  10. Hi, I'll grab the fuel regulator if you can email me a photo of it with the front page of the current newspaper (both in the same photo)- Sorry, there are people that advertise non-existent items, but would gladly take the money, so please dont take it personally. Thanks.
  11. 0.64 rear on a RB25..... it'll come on quick but run out of puff up the top end when chasing big power.
  12. I think the 'Light Reduce' system is the dimming of the headlights when the car is at idle and lights up to full beam once the car starts moving, I think it was a factory option from Nissan (but not a very popular one)..... correct me if Im wrong. I own a factory 'lightweight' version of the R33 GTS25t that came without the rear wiper and this car came with the 'light reduce' system, it was disabled when the previous owner installed the HID setup back in Japan.
  13. Sorry mate, but I think $700 is just a tad ambitious.
  14. Nice... They definitely have a 'show' aspect to them. The outer lip on them reminds me of my 19inch Konig's.
  15. Reproducing these in wet carbon fibre would not be hard at all. The trickest part would be making up the molds - 1) waxing component to be copied with several layers of special wax 2) coating with tooling gelcoat 3) applying poly resin and reinforce with fibreglass mash 4) repeat step 3 until a thick enough layer is built up 5) wait until cured and 'pop' it out Once the mold is made, you can make copies of the part by using carbon fibre fabric, you could even use carbon-kevlar or even kevlar on its own depending on the look youre after. The trick is not to stirr up the resin too much when mixing in the hardener (Methyl ethyl ketone peroxide - MEKP) - this creates bubbles and you dont want bubbles appearing all over the top of the layer of carbon fibre. I've made up many carbon parts by using this technique. Anyways, hope that helps.
