Hi all. This could be the stupidest question asked on this forum, but does anyone know how to remove the plastic trim from the A-pillar on an R33? (Driver's side) I'm trying to run wires for various electrical components and I'm buggered if I can get it off.

Thanks

Grab the trim at the top of the a pillar and pull towards the inside of the car, you also need to pop the rear trim out a bit to release the front one. The trims are firmly clipped in place and can be a bastard if you have not done it before. if it is scary tight use a screwdriver and a torch to locate the clips looking between the door rubber and the trim, then place the screwdriver on the pillar at the base of the clip and twist. hope this helps :(

I was about to ask the same question but a search got me to this thread. I had a go, but with a bit of force, it still wasnt going to budge. was worried about snapping it.

      I chose a bad time to buy, at the time there was no gtst's for sale in NSW and my options were qld, vic, or sa and not the greatest examples or too far out of my budget. Ended up picking this one from adelaide sight unseen and got a bit stitched up as you could expect but i dont fully regret it, its just a shame people cant be more transparent in this day and age.

      IMO just buy a whole R33 transmission and swap the whole thing. Use a palm nailer/air hammer with a roll pin punch to drive the shifter rod end roll pins out. The rod end is discontinued so don't break it. Use gasket dressing on the OEM paper gasket instead of RTV. I personally would not pry on the shifter cover tabs, I broke one trying that instead of just smacking the side with a dead blow rubber mallet to shock it loose from the RTV the last mechanic applied. If you can't get the flanges totally clean and free of any residual RTV and/or you might have a gap that is bigger than it should due to flange damage use RTV on that surface instead of the OEM specced anaerobic sealer. Anaerobic sealer is most likely the right sealant for the job, it's just too easy to mess it up with too large a gap or bad surface prep/roughness seemingly. If you do rebuild what you have it's for a whole gearset that can take high torque. Don't bother with OEM at that point.

      Little hose. Big hose. They're all waiting to kill the engine.

      Realistic Injector/kW Limits on E50 & E85

      By bcozican · Posted

      Full e85 barrell stuff real world for reference if it helps as Ive pushed 2 x sets injectors to limit Above mentioned Bosch 1480cc run on 4 bar base to the apparent 1650cc on rb2.7 yielded 912hp / 684  kw  at 92% duty on hub dyno ID1700's - RB 2.8 ...1015hp / 760 kw at 87% duty - hubber dyno + shown off data on track my opinion IF you change injectors just go bigger than you think you need the modern/ good larger ones run just fine if tuned properly even if way bigger than required even on streeters
