yeah predator, i was thinking do the paint/body and leave it, sell it

no point putting too much more into it, but if i do ill be keeping the car for another couple of years

but id much prefer a better platform or more so, not lose too much money when selling the R33

the bonnet if u looked closely was pretty shocking, i had these weird stains on it that were under the gloss and under fluro light u can see some shocking shades :S

Well as far as my mods go I'm picking up my C's short shift kit tomorrow....

Then in a couple months time go PowerFC + hand controller + boost control kit... already used to the current power....

err..yes jet.. you will have the fastest.

as long as you don't throw a piston or something no, you won't have to worry about anybody getting anything remotely close to 400rwkw anytime soon :D

Jack: yours will go even more like stink then, scary!

There just is something about that GTR powerslide.. was admiring it Saturday from behind :D

Mine is back to stock, and while it hasn't got any power now :( it just feels "more complete" right across the range like the stock ECU isn't playing "catchup". I'm thnking that is what a proper ECU properly installed must be like, like a came out of the factory with XXX kw

ha - i'm 27 on Saturday... makes u realise cars can't hold u too back in life. I guess at 21 i woula been all go go go but i was still at uni then where life was cheap :D Gotta think about boring stuff like buying a house myself pretty soon b4 it all gets too expensive.

hmm.. off track.. oops, this thread is interesting - don't want it closed

anybody else got car plans wanna jump in the thread ?? :(

argh, when i was running the stock ecu with all the gear off bar the intercooler the power was all over the place through out the rev range

huge flat spots here and there, was frustrating at times

but it feels good to be dead stock in the morning passing your EPA, then getting your hands into it and putting every back on my 7pm that night instantly getting your power back

    • Why not? Since mines been built, I've used low boost maybe 5 times.
    • Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.
    • Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task
    • Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.
    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
