Hey guys,

FML Story: Last night I was leaving Crown with a couple of mates and as I'm reversing out of my spot one of my mates in the back asked me a question. I look in the mirror and answer him and clip one of those concrete pole things..Don't know how so much damage could have been caused by going like 2km/h..

Sucks when my first accident ever is something so stupid that could have been avoided by paying more attention...only myself to blame.

Anyways, now I need just a stock R33 front bar, drivers side front panel and a drivers side headlight so if anyone is wrecking an r33 or has these parts for sale please pm me. I'm in the Eastern suburbs.

Also, some good panel beater recommendations would be handy. I have done a search on this and found a lot of recommendations for DT Panels so i'll probably hit them up.

Cheers guys.

At least its out off the way now! No longer a virgin....look on the bright side...its minor and fixable, no one got hurt and the first accident jinx is gone!

hey chris, did the headlight actually come out and smash? or is it just some bracket broken that holds it?, as others said you should be able to find the parts pretty easy and get Vu to spray em and fit em, if need be.

look on the bright side, your front bar was needing a respray anyway.

Yeah just the plastic bracket thing broke. I'm not taking it to Vu, he didn't reply to my email yesterday and I wanted it fixed asap so I took it to a place near my house with a decent name. Should be getting it back on Friday...

And yes, it did need a respray so should look good at the end of it all

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
