Hey mate. Nice looking R32. Looks nice and clean.

With the exhaust valve, what are you talking about exactly? Where is it situated? If its the vacuum valve like the stock exhaust, then its just a valve that opens the exhuast based on air flow, or revs or something. Can't remember.

apex'i exhaust valve controller = flap in exhaust which can be adjusted, controlling volume and flow etc.

if you don't mind, how much did you pay?

thanx

Bought it for 12g

Nothing at the moment, coz im happy with it, plenty of power for me as i used to drive a fwd celica haha.

But plans r in the near future, Bosch fuel pump, a boost controller, rb25 turbo and ecu. Not sure on wat boost controller and ecu to get. Powerfc's arent available anymore, is that correct? Is there something round the $1000 mark. I might just get a safc coz im only chasing 200kw

if you can afford to spend $12,000 on a car, you should find a way to spend money on insurance as well.

i was aware of the costs of insurance, and decided fire and theft insurance is wat i would get.

How do you like the exhaust mate? Is it very loud?

its not too loud, but not quiet either. Id say its just right, same for the ride height. Any lower and it would scrape, but the way it is now i have no problems getting around so far

Just wanted to ask about the low fuel warning light. How much fuel is roughly in there when the lights turns on? Mine turns on when arrow is on the lowest line, is that when it has to switch on?

Thanks

Thats good then, as long as your happy with it!

Boost controller, for like 16psi and under you can use a bleed valve called a TURBOTECH boost controller. There about $35 from EBAY, and have been proven by a lot of members on the forums to be a very good upgrade.

I have one, and will be using it sometime soon.

PFC I would also like to get, but is pretty much not an option. I saw one on the forums recently advertised for $1,900! I'd pay $1,200 but not $1,900 lol

REMAP is a good option, or if you don't want to go to hard out an SAFCII or Greddy E-MANAGE is also good, that will get you to 200rwkw.

Anyways, good luck with it all. Keep us posted :wave:

I just can't believe that you can say that in todays state of affairs.

click search and type in STOLEN.

have a look at the dates the hundreds of threads that come up have on them.

you paid $12K for the skyline.

"WHEN" someone steals it from you, you will get back $2500 "AFTER" you have paid your exess of what? $1K for a 21 year old?

seriously mate.

It's a nice looking car.

alarm etc will do f*k all when some c**t with a bat taps on your window.

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
