where do u get a front grill like that? did it come with the badge or did u have to stick one on?

The grill came with the car. My understanding of this grill is that it came with all series 1's. Not 100% sure on that though... thats just what i been told by some ppl.

Now there's a step in the right direction, also car has come a long way mate good to see you kept it and continued to mod it. i think get rid of the wing and put a drift lip on the back, and finish off the rest of the kit.

Thanks man... only got sideskirts, review exterior side mirrors and rear-wing to go :D

Hey John, did you paint the dash?? What paint did you use?? How did you remove that shitty coating that is on the dash originally?

The current coat in the car was done by dan... I brought some stuff from supercheap and did it in dan's garage one night but came out disgusting. Dan brought some other stuff and re-did it for me and turned out to what it looks like today.

There is still a bit more to do with the respraying of the inside... wanna do the arm rest on the doors, etc as well.

John, your grill is a series 1.5 Otherwise known as the 'airbag' model ;)

PS. When are you ditching the shopping trolley wing?

PPS. Nice work :) I've been watching this car since you got it. Many late night trips to Yatala & random photo shoots with dodgy borrowed cameras later, it's looking schmick :D

well, did a engine compression test the other week at shanes and the engine is in perfect condition for its age and the k's that have been clocked up.

still possibly looking at doing a engine rebuild over the next few months though along with a turbo upgrade and highmount manifold.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      AFM looks to be a z32 The injectors maybe old Nismo 555cc The turbo tag when looked up seems to be a gt2871 , imagine it would have the bigger rear housing .82 all look like the mid 00's mods when he started building it up. Vac hose seems right but would need to see a diagram. Great work going up there and sorting it out, be a good club car for someone wanting a good reliable rig.  I know I would like to have it but no space and too many other race cars at the moment.

      R32 GTR EV? The leaf of the Godzilla's!

      I can't agree. If we hadn't all been brought up with the noise caused by the inefficiency of an ICE, no-one would actually ask for all that. An EV is like any other car, it just goes better.

      2 more things I have to work out Easy one first...can anyone describe how to pull the fuel pump and sender from a 33? I can feel there is some sort of mount and clips but don't have a manual and don't know the trick......if not I'll spend some quality time in the boot witha lighter tomorrow. Second question is harder.  He had changed the upper plenum to a plazmaman but clearly got to a point with the vacuum hoses where he said "f**k it, I'm going inside for a beer" and never came back to that job because it was a mess. Am I right to think that I need: 1. Pre throttle (16mm nipple on inlet) to AAC's main 20mm fitting as the main pre throttle feed 2. ACC has a second 13m outlet joined to that 20mm fitting which I think is the pre throttle air supply for the cold start valve? 3. Cold start valve's outlet fitting then goes to Plenum (to bypass throttle?) There is some adapter on the back of the ACC with 2 fittings (13mm and 10mm), do I run the 10mm through a 1 way valve to the Brake Booster (4) and the 13mm back to a 13mm nipple on the Plenum as the Idle control (5)? 6. Run a 6mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart BOV to the Plenum? 7. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Fuel Pressure Reg to the Plenum? 8. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart Boost controller to the Plenum? (Wastegate already has a pre turbo pressure source running to the solenoid then the wastegate on the other side of the bay)  Any help appreciated, the GTR is quite different setup and while the Stagea also has FFP it is different again. (And no Dose, I'm not pissing it all off and putting a ethrottle on it....)

      OK, onto some questions to try and speed up the process a little. Does anyone know what core this Garret is? I know it is a high flowed standard turbo but nothing else about it. Tag says OK 0169J - 446179-5032 Same question for the injectors, I don't know what they flow and ideally can work it out before it hits the dyno, they are a mustard yellow side feed
