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!

      I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.

      No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.

      I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same

      The only high-power RB I've personally seen go pop after running for all of an hour on a dyno was built by B2R, while being remotely tuned by B2R. The only wastegates I've ever had leak like a sieve, return, still leak, return and get shipped back the wrong ones were from Turbosmart. The only final drive that I've ever purchased that were unusable, twice... were from Speedtek. The only seat mounts that I've ever purchased that placed the seats in the door frame were from Crank Motorsport. The only poorly designed parts that I had the manufacturer confirm should have been designed as per what I mentioned were from GKTech. The only ECU I've had firmware updates consistently break things are Haltech. The only catch can I've purchased that didn't fit in its advertised spot was from ATP. So forth and so on... Moral of the story, doesn't matter where it's from. Do your research beforehand and stick with products and companies you've trusted in the past.    @joshuaho96 If you want it done right, do it yourself.
