ive got a question for everyone, i want to get a new car and have been looking at gtr's to replace my r34 gtt, now r34 gtr's are still out of my price range but i can comfortably afford a 33 gtr. now is it worth buying a car that is 3 to 4 years older than mine? because my parents say that im crazy buying a car thats older than mine.

from now on, you say "idears" whenever you referr to that car ok? turns me on. Sam, dude, thats just gay.

lol.

the whole thing reminded me of the time shan was going on about electric spider monkeys (sigged)

but really now, im no homo

OMFG finally finished the car and after 3 weeks its running again yay

things done:

painted intake plenum and rocker cover/coilpack cover from gay gold to crinkle black (managed to scratch 2 bits when putting it in but cant see it so YAY)

changed regular FMIC with hole cut under battery tray to return flow cooler. will be covering hole under battery tray

while most of the top was out and things along the side of the motor, went nuts with degreaser and now she has a oil and dirt free motor :happy:

one thing im happy with is that there is not a single bolt left over WOOT

next time think ill just pay someone to do it for me though lol

any tips on how to shift the rear caliper bolts on a 33? cant get a socket on there cos of suspension arms, and i've snapped my 17mm ringspanner on the bloody thing.

i have a pretty thick ring spanner. wanna give that a go???

dude if you can wait go for a 34. was in the same boat as you but 34 came out on top. better interior and new technology and its a newer car and looks 1 billion times better then the 33.

so yes your crazy. unless you love the 33s and cant wait to get a GTR and find a mint one

    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
