guys

i have tried to access my throttle body for cleaning but no luck. I loosened the 2 clamps(as marked in blue in the pic) but after that, the whole thing was still as tight as ever. I figure i have to remove the 2 screws (marked in red) but i can't get the wrench in there cause there's no turning space!!

anyway, what's the right way of accessing the throttle body for cleaning and am I on the right track,guys?

help! >_<

Thanks!

sorry mate not sure if its the right way, i don't own an r33.

but like the others have said by now, def. look into investing into a good set of sockets if u plan on doing a fair amount of work on your car. Be careful if they're tight and using cheap sockets, once you start rounding those sorts of bolts, then it's a bitch to get off :no:

good luck with it.

sweet . Has anyone done throttle body cleaning and has it been worth doing??

Hi - Yeah it's the right way, if you haven't done it before I suggest you take a photo of the engine bay before you start just so you know how everything goes back together. I did this.

Also whilst you are there you may as well check your spark plugs!!! Makes sens to me coz you are taking the cross pipe off! Would be a bitch if you had to do it a week later coz they are goonnnnnne.. but if you just recently changed them I wouldn't bother!

And yeah as the others said.. invest in a good socket set! I have a sidchrome set and I doubt I could live without it.

Ps Wasn't this your brothers car? Get the lazy bastard to do his own work!

      Rb head oil drain dimensions

      By Papichulo96 · Posted

      Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By Zabuza · Posted

      Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, your RB20 ECU loom won't have wires for the boost solenoid, that boost sensor, and possibly one or two other things. There could be differences in seemingly random things like the charcoal canister purge solenoid, because the 25DET has to handle boost in the vacuum system and the 20DE does not. I don't know - I haven't looked. It is very likely that all the most important things are same-same, being the main sensors like AFM, CAS, etc, and the injectors and ignition. Not that you'll need the AFM for the Haltech anyway. I would suggest that you would seriously want to sit down with the pinouts for both ECUs and just go through them and highlight green what is the same, orange what is different/missing, and make a plan from there. It's not going to be difficult. It will either be the same or need to be fixed.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By Sxnjeet · Posted

      yeaaa that's why I haven't done any wiring to the stock ecu harness because I have the haltech, but then that leads me to the other question of "is the pnp harness really plug and play?" or would I have to still switch some pins/wires over because the pnp is for the rb25det neo harness, and not for the rb20de neo harness. was really hoping to find something to spoon feed me since so many people have done rb20neo + t conversions, but man this is rough.
