Hi all,

I'm Sam have been following several topics for a while and thought that I'd join up finally. Haven't Been in Brissy too long...(read: another kiwi) so looking for a project , kinda leaning towards a Silvia but love skylines too so can't really decide, will be RB powered though either way.

Sheet metal worker by experience, light gauge stainless and aluminium, within oil and gas industry for the past 4 years have also just spent a couple of months working on a large construction project in Karratha to be heading back there for work soon.

Hmm yeah that will do you now I think

Peace

Welcome Sam,

Hope you cotton onto a great RB real soon. R33 GT-Rs are going at an attractive price. But you have to like the style as well as having a great engine. Me? I love it!

Brisbane is a totally different climate to what you're used too eh? Especially working on sheet metal?

Enjoy forums, Tez

Im slowly starting to lean more towards the sykline Terry, do you guys have any idea the price difference of import over here lol, im sure most of them are atleast half the price back in NZ, but hey I guess thats just the price im going to have to pay.

As for the temperature, Karratha is hot real hot (read: upto and including 48 in the heat of summer) I day i left there to come back to Brisbane it was pushing 35 when I hoped on the plan at 7pm lol and when I landed here in Brissy the following more it was ab out 5 if that, so winteres are freeing here and but the summers man the humidity is nuts, Im actually working for a removal company at the oment until i can get back over west and some days is just crazy lol.

I have hopefully sorted out a block to begin the motor build but am still looking for a rolling shell I can considering anything for the time being so if anyone has anything feel free to send me a pm

cheers guys

Karratha is a pretty hot place. For 100s of Kms up and down WA there it's damn hot. I know an Anglican pastor there.

I'd probably ask a more specific question in General Automotive or use Search, but a high quality R33 GT-R can be obtained for about 22-24K. I'd check out the F/S sections too.

Cheers, Terry

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      Get something that can spray a bit, something like I'd use is a pressure pack for weed sprayer. I use one with degreaser. Spray it on (make sure you're fully covered up, you don't want that shit on you, especially face/eyes). Alternatively, a paint brush will help here as you can brush and work at the stuff quite aggressively.   Be aware, citric acid can eat metal away and will cause it to rust more later. So make sure you neutralise it when done, and give the fresh metal some protection. That hanger, I'd honestly bin and get something like the Frenchy's drop in replacement. The tank, again, I'd look for something else to replace it with. Remember, as metal turns to rust, it means there's less metal there now. So some patches of your fuel tank are likely to be quite thin.   Personally, Id focus on the front end of things, IE, how did the injectors get clogged if they're meant to be after a fuel filter. Then, once the front is sorted, I'd rig something up, even like a small surge tank, and make sure the engine is now running and all behaving. Then I'd replace the fuel tank and fuel hanger and pump. Also, I'd already be preparing to ditch your fuel filter...

      That's looking great! Are you planning to do things like all hidden wiring with it, or you're planning to have it look more like we'd expect an RB in an engine bay to look like?

      I found the ingredients at larger amounts from a Coffee Shop. 1kg Citric Acid for €8.50 500g Baking Soda for €2.50 I tried it out tonight distilled water (I got from my ACs) and dish soap. It does get bubbly with dish soap. In just two hours the hanger has improved significantly and rubbing against any remaining rust seems to flake it off. I'm going to leave it a little bit longer and see how it goes. I have read that someone even used this solution in an ultrasonic cleaner to clean a seized water pump which brought it back to life.

      If you like more modern stuff than the R series, you should check out a V37 400R, they are pretty mod friendly
