I have a 1993 R33 GTS and i hadn't drivin it in about a month and i began hearing a strange ticking and knocking noise from the top of the engine. After some research and a drive i believed it was the injectors seeing as the car would loose power at 4500+. So i took the fuel rail out and had the injectors cleaned, while it was off i cleaned the plenum, which was time consuming to take off and put back on. After this i started the car and it seemed even worse, it almost died on idol and wouldn't go past about 2500, holding it at 2500 the revs would also fluctuate. So i replaced the fuel filter, O2 sensor(always smealt rich), resoldered the AFM, ran ECU diagnostics with no errors, checked all the coils for problems, cleaned them up (already sealed with silicone after previous missfiring on idol) and put in new plugs. After all this it still ran as rough as guts and i was frustrated, it seemed better but still had a weird noise. I was thought it may have been internal but decided to rev it a bit and let it run for a while and what dya know? Its better now. Thought i would just share my strange experience which cause me a bit of stress for a few days. :):P

      Import insurance in 2025

      And that's a massive problem, because deadshits will deadshit and give you false details. At least in these days of mobile cameraphones, it is trivial to take photos of any ID they are carrying at the same time as the 300 photo extensive documentation of the state of the vehicles that I recommend even for minor incidents. And you get photos of the person's face, any visible tatoos, etc etc, while you're at it. Then you try to avoid mentioning that you're fully capable of making explosives of various power levels and will wreck their shit if you are forced to hunt them down.

      No, I don't remember the exact reasoning (was 20 years ago!) but the cops didn't end up supplying it to us either. Actually my mother went through a similar thing recently where she was hit when stationary, flustered and didn't get address (she got plate details, name, phone and insurance company, but not address). Person who hit her blocked her number and their insurance company (naturally) would not provide any details. Her insurance company also required her to pay the at fault premium because she did not have the address, cops did not help as it is a minor civil matter (they said their only course was if the other driver had left the scene of the accident without providing any details). She only ended up getting that refunded because they happened to be insured with Suncorp and she was with APIA so same company owners. For some reason the address is critical in insurance companies recovering money from the at fault party

      If you're driving something like an R32 through to R34, no chance of meeting Euro4. Euro4 came out in 2006, and car manufacturers back then were complaining how hard it would be to meet those regulations. Not a chance a vehicle 10 years earlier is going to be compliant.

      I presume it would take more than just slapping a big modern catalyst on the exhaust? It's interesting though, looking at the old sales brochures and listings it does not mention anything about emissions. No one cared.

      Yeh nice, looks like their part of keep it reet? Will have to swing past. I'd much prefer someone actually look at my car and custom make a part, then get a generic part online and hope it works.
