Hey guys.

My r33 has been waiting for me to get my license back which is still around 6 months away, do you guys thing that I am due for a service?

It has only done 1 tank of fuel since i bought it in october.

(I know i shouldnt let the one tank of fuel get this old)

but i filled it up when i got it and figured id use it in a months time.

so now i will fill up a quarter at a time if its only being driven this much! 400 kms over 5 - 6 months.

when i got it it was direct from japan and went through compliance and full service.

what sort of service do you think she needs! cheers fellas :)

As long as you are starting it and letting it run for a bit every 2 or 3 weeks, maybe take it for a drive so your battery isn't flat - than i'd say nothing..

I honestly doubt you need to service it, check your oil, see how clean it feels and take it from there, just service it when you get to say 3,000kms.. otherwise what's the point.. you haven't driven it..

oh ok.. yeh i take it for a drive every 2 to 3 weeks to let the drive train loosen up rather than starting it on the spot..

i just thought maybe it could need a service because the fluids were like aging inside my engine lol..

but they do say service every 5000 kms Or 6 months which ever comes first.

If I were you, I'd get someone "with a licence" to drive it once a week, and just before the licence comes back do a 5000k service (oils and filters, etc).

yeh sounds good.. ill do a service in september just before i get it back.

yes the person who drives it always has a license....

cheeers

      How much roughly to convert stock r32gtr to single high mount turbo + ecu and tune

      By Butters · Posted

      Late to this party but here is your go to shop in perth - https://www.facebook.com/gsautoworksau GTSBOY is on the money cost wise, drive in and out will cost you 15-30k or more.    Some items that will save you money  - plug in link ecu g4x is much cheaper than haltech.   -Pulsar turbo, seem to be "OK" now, never used one myself You really don't have to build the motor, E85, headgasket, studs and a good RB26 will live for ever.    Swapping over the twins won't save much as you still need ecu, tune, fuel system etc.

      Welcome back to the scene! Godzilla Motorsports were well regarded back in the day.  My GT-R had work done there prior to my ownership.   SRS (Street Race Solutions) in Toowoomba worth a look.  They've built some pretty wild Skylines. Their YouTube channel is comedic to watch!  I'm sure they're all on the glass BBQ but they get shit done! 🤣

      Rv37 400r questions

      Hard to say what the extra connector is, it looks a bit like a coax type connector, so possibly a separate radio/GPS antenna, or even another camera input?  The V37 series (including the Q50), did go through a model refresh in 2020, since Australia didn't get any Q50s newer than 2019, we didn't get any of the refreshed models, so there could also be other unexpected problems to overcome to swap an older Q50 head unit into a new model V37. There probably aren't too many people around that have made these sorts of changes to a Q50/V37, so you might end up being the first if you do decide to go ahead. ACP is Apple Car Play and AA is Android Auto, they are roughly the same thing for the 2 major phone operating systems (Apple's iOS and Android), it allows you to connect your phone and access a number of your phone applications on your car system.  With Nav apps included, so you could use google maps/Waze or whatever your favourite navigation app is, instead of using the built in navi system.  I think this would be a better solution if it is only Navigation that you are looking as swapping the head unit for. GPS signals are the same around the globe as the GPS satellites continuously circle the globe, but it is the head unit that doesn't allow you to load Australian maps, or at least no-one had made an Australian map that will load up on the JDM head unit. Regarding the TV standards, I assume you are referring to the AV inputs?  I haven't ever tried to use them, Japan used a slightly modified version of the US NTSC system, and Australia uses PAL for composite video, that said, I wouldn't be surprised if a video input could work with either system.  That is mostly irrelevant here though, unless you plan to use those inputs for something?

      If you've got bucket loads of $. Go single. If not, just upgrade the twins, Garrett -9's or whatever the current equivalent is for a healthy 350awkw and leave it at that. Will probably still cost you 10k to do in this day and age.
