  1. wrxhoon: Its number 6 unfortunately (closest to the firewall)... Definately will have to use easyout to get it out, as there is no way you can get multigrips to remove it... Well once taken out and replaced with new ones, probably wont ever need to change the gasket again (only plan on having the car till I finish uni) Also replacing the turbo to exh manifold gasket, as thats the one with the biggest leak at the moment (sounds like tractor)
  2. grim32, did you do yours urself or did you get a shop to do it?? If you got a shop, how much did it cost? Did you have any broken studs in the head? At the moment, it looks like ill be doing both of them, but not till I finish up uni exams (3 weeks)... Yeah, its just the stud that is stuck in there I believe, so hopefully can get it out...
  3. Hey guys, Recently after completeing my first track day on my 130,000km r33, i blew the gasket between the turbo and the exhaust manifold. Car runs standard turbo, 200rwkw with fmic, 12psi of boost, and turbo back exhaust + exh cam gear, PFC The car now makes a tractor like sound, but still goes very strong, but boost seems a little laggier & car is a way lot louder. I do have a new gasket to go on, but got my mechanic to also have a once over of the area. What he noticed was that their was a stud head missing from one of the exhaust manifold bolts that hold it onto the block. Taking a closer look, it looks like the head of the bolt fell off, and the thread is still in there attathced to the manifold/head... From having a quick geeze around, it looks like the gasket around that area between the block and manifold is starting to frey apart. Question is: Should I just replace my turbo to manifold gasket & not worry about the exh manifold gasket to block, or should I replace both gaskets,and get the rest of the screw thread out of the head, aswell as replacing all the studs that run from the manifold to the head? From what I heard, its very hard to use "Easy out" on the broken stud, as alot of the "Easy outs" mainly fall apart, hence, having to take the head off, and getting the stud taken out.. So whats my best option here guys? Has anyone had this happen before, and if so, whats the cost involved if I have the exhaust manifold taken off and replaced with a gasket? (Just trying to gauge some pricing) Any info, help, tips would be most worthwhile
  4. Spotted a gunmetal grey GTST with 33gtr wheels, gtr style front bar up at justjap early this morning
  5. Will be getting pic of actual gauge & cup when i get my camera back... Also the cup is chrome if that helps
  6. Hey Guys, I have an autometer carbon fibre series gauge for sale. Its 60mm and its a mechanical gauge. I also purchased a chrome autometer cup with it which will come with the guage itself. I recently bought e-boost 2, therefore I have no use for the gauge hence its up for sale.

  7. Spotted yellow GTT with impul kit and white AVS model 6's up @ Barden ridge approx 8pm. Very nice car, nice woman in the front passanger seat too
  8. Hey Guys, just digging up an old thread here, but im interested in getting some HD system HS coilovers... Can anyone who uses them provide me some feedback since they been out almost a year now???
  9. If you have a nice carbon one you wish to swap with plus cash, ill consider... Im assuming you need the bonnet for compliance?
  10. I find the 400r rear bar looks good side on, but from the rear, makes the car look kinda boxy after staring at it for a while... I got GTR rear pods to go on, which will be fitted up before uni exams this month.. I got rid of the te37's for 2 reasons... 1 is that its hard to clean, and 2, gaurd scrub at the front was bad. Dont get me wrong, nice wheels, but I want unique wheels... My current wheels i like, makes the car look tough... Pictures dont justify them, and i got fair bit of money back from the te37...
  11. Hey mate, the brake light works perfectly with no blown bulbs in the LED light... Brake light comes with spoiler and im not going to seperate the two.
  12. Skirts sold, wing still available...
  13. Its a GTS badge, the bottom is a "S", not a R... hehe Some more pics when it wasnt so overcast... Carbon bonnet is on the cards, however I got GTR rear pods going on soon.... Its better with the black wheels, less cleaning
  14. Out of curiousy, how many cars you got going @ this stage?
  15. I got one in white listed in the FS section... $150 + postage NO MARKS!
  16. Ill have M-spec rear pods up for sale soon, once i fit my GTR style pods... They are genuine items and will be off the car in approx mid october to end of october
  17. HAHA, im set on the current rims, if you ever see the current rims in person, you will know why Only downside about white is cleanliness... Car looked shitt if they were dirty, therefore cleaning them on a weekly basis became a ritual Please do send pics once there on
  18. Im painting the calipers metalic blue when I get the time... That way it will match the inside of the rim... You cant really notice the inside of the rim from those pics, however they are metalic blue with silver plates...
  19. HAHA, yeah, just need a carbon bonnet and will look like ur car...
  20. Hey Guys, Recently I did a big makeover on my r33... Sold my te37 rims, and went back to my volk challenges but in 18, and bought a gtr wing with black blade, black end caps and also blacked up my rims and also 400r skirts.... This is where the car is at the moment, so which style do you prefer, style 1 (All white) or style 2 (The new style with the white n black theme?) Let me know what you think... Cheers
