What up muh peeps!!

I picked up a series 1 last night

Before i commence the RiaZ transformation i need a bit of help

i searched last night with no luck

the front bar indicators/park lights/driving lights (not sure which)

is spinning me out

I have seen 2 types

one has a larger orange indicator section and a small clear one

and the other is the one i have with a smaller orange indicator section and larger clear one.

Is this an indicator/park light or indicator/driving light

is there supposed to be a switch?

how does it all work?

is it just so it looks pretty?

anyone who can locate a thread please put up a link if it helps answer these questions

second thing is has anyone got any spare mounts for installing a stereo? (the factory brackets used to connect to hold the deck in the console are missing)

or if anyone has some lying around that I can look at to make my own brackets that would be fantastic

oh yeah 1 more thing

clutches

do 93 r33 clutches wear so the engaging is at the floor or higher up

thanks

i am sure there are plenty of series 1 owners who know all these answers

RiaZ

i was also wondering about the front indicators... (r33 s1 aswell)

but i figured it out...all by myself... :D

haha

anyway this is what i know:

Park lights are on the outside of the headlights.

Frontbar indicators are yellow with a clear bit next to them as as far as i can tell the clear bit does **** all and is just show..

i dont have fog lights or anything in them although chuckin some lights in there for some foggy's could be the go

my 2 cents hopefully it helps...

well from what i'v seen on "most" lines is that those light in the indactors do a whole lot of nothing series 2 and series 1

but in some cases they do have a switch if you look where u turn your lights on (indactor arm) there should be the normal switch for turning lights on in some cases there is another similar switch right behind this one for turning these lights on i'll take a digi pic later and post it

i know about the stalk cos i had a series II before and those do a whole lotta something which is fine.

back to the front bar indicators very annoying... and there definately is 2 different types with like I said a larger and smaller clear section next to the indicator.

maybe its just spares that have been thrown in from another r33 that did have lights

in that case i see some missle switch action. test wires for what wattage bulbs they will support and bobs gonna be my uncle

umm paul tis true the fun has begun already

i will holla at ya for sure

anyways next and most importantly is the stereo bracket.

need tunes arrrghhhh

its been less than 24 hours since music in the car...the world is gonna end.

anyways next week i should be at kwinana seeing what abuse this car will take considering the clutch is not standard.

oh yeah someone answer the clutch question

hey riaz

Yeah, you're probably right. The bumper may have been replaced with a 2nd hand one that came with driving lights (what you have).

Don't forget the relays. Should work ok.

Don't have the bracket but you can have my factory double din stereo if you want. Use it to make a bracket or just jam it in there.

oh yeah someone answer the clutch question

Need more info, do you think the friction point is too high or too low right now? Come around and I'll have a test drive :(.

thanks for the offer gradenko

i might be round in a fortnight i think once the kit is on

if WORKS AUTO do me a good price

also the thread BOO5T is exactly the thread i read a while back and was looking for, so glad you found it, i was getting hell annoyed

I am going to rip the bar off etc and see what goes where and what i can do to those lights. like up the relays and stick some brighter lights in, as long as the plastic can handle it

umm the stereo brackets are $11.50 from nissan (EACH)

so I might just fork and buy some cos its too much stuffing around, then i will need one of those dual diversity antenna adaptors as well.

also anyone selling any 6x9's cheap, lemme know otherwise i will have to tap into my resources.

i can't believe series 1's are like so different in the small little things

1 more thing, is anyone selling a series II wing here in Perth

oh rofl rofl

pantene paul

man that is seriously gonna stick

Umm if i dont have the factory solenoid for the boost control and there is the line going from the wastegate to the air intake.....what does this mean for boost.

fark i hate modded cars

i havent learnt all this stuff yet and now its all done to the car

anyone....boost guage for sale at all?

2" size

    • Yes correct. Also, I'd avoid applying it to soft paint (however I doubt you'll ever have to deal with it in practice). So any paint that hasn't fully hardened, could be a 1k paint that never fully hardened or it could be a 2k paint that was laid down thick and hasn't yet fully hardened. 
    • Bit of an update to this one. Having some issues on the dyno that held us back (boost spiking) and I want to pass some info over you guys and see what you think is wrong with my setup. The current readout on this dyno is 462rwkw on a low reading dyno so keep in mind it is a real world 500rwkw setup on a hub dyno. Don't read into the power figure too much as a sign of the issue. The short and curly of it is: 2.8 Litre Racepace build RB25 NEO N/A Head with VCT (internally standard however ) Borgwarner EFR 8474  Turbosmart 50mm Straight Gate + Mac valve 6Boost Manifold 4" dump to full 4" exhaust (nil restrictions) Wastegate plumbed back in and all angles in the exhaust system are acceptable and not too sharp. GFB SV52 BOV in cooler piping  Turbosmart BOV in EFR Housing   The issue we are having is it comes onto full boost for example at 4000rpm and spikes to 24/25psi, before dropping down to 17psi before slowly rising back up to the target boost of 23psi. It was extremely uncontrollable and the tuner actually had to ramp in boost progrssively with each 1000rpm on each boost setting we selected to try and reduce the amount of spiking. Sometimes we would see a drop of 10psi from the peak at the beginning of the run, to the low, until it took the next 500-1000rpm to stabilise back up to the target boost. The tuner is pretty confident that the straight gate is just a poorly designed product and leaks too much boost upon cracking the gate open and theres no way to fix it other than going to a poppet valve. He's also confient theres no ignition breakdown or floating valves. The fueling is extremely stable as well. Turbo speed is somewhere around the 109,000rpm area. The spanner in the works for me is that prior to this Borgwarner and StraightGate, the car was tuned on -5 twins at a diferent tuner, and he also had issues controlling the boost with it spiking around the same rpm range, so to me this sounds like the same issue and it can't be anything on the turbo side as this was all changed and I think the behaviour is extremely similar, if not the same. We also removed the mac valve and did a run on wastegate pressure and it still spiked and had the same behaviour. My thoughts on possibilities are: Boost Leak VCT Cam Gear isn't reliably activating consistently - (On this however, we did a run with the VCT disabled and the boost still spiked) Turbosmart BOV is not handling the boost? However this seems unlikely to not be able to handle 20psi. I have a couple of logs that I can't make sense of if anybody knows how to read them and can obtain further logs of other parameters if they are not enough, happy to pay for anyones time. The dyno readout with the power figure is the most recent last week. The other picture is from two weeks prior to that where we couldn't break 400kw (we removed the cat), however the issue of the boost control persisted. @Lithium @Piggaz @burn4005 @GTSBoy @discopotato03 I've tagged those that were quite active in recent pages here, no disrespect to those that know turbos well but I missed tagging.

    • I recently purchased a 2018 Infiniti Q60, which has an SD card navigation map. I can see my system has options for real time traffic updates etc, and am wondering if there is something I can purchase to get this working? I can see there are at least updated maps for USA and Canada, but nothing for Australia. Surely Infiniti took changing road systems and city expansions into account when they decided to use an inbuilt navigation over Android Auto/Apple Car Play, or are we doomed to drive on streets that don't exist in the navigation system if you drive to a new area?
    • Luckily I didn't put in etch primer as I just found out it's not compatible with my body filler lol. Also just need to sand the panel anywhere between 150-400 grit so I'm in the clear there. It does say to not apply to soft old paint, I assume that means paint that is flaking, peeling,etc
