Hi Leigh, I really like what you've done so far very tasteful mods. I'm currently doing the same to mine, got the bc coilovers on order, and like u I also have to fix my front lip and instrument cluster really annoying having the rev meter bouncing all over the place. Where did u get the carbon fibre wing blade from, psi parts? And are they also the carbon fibre inserts that are from psi parts as well? Been thinking of getting these myself.

Look forward to seeing ur future mods, nice work!

Lovely ride and very nice night shot! :thumbsup:

The rear of the R33 is what really sets the car apart from the other Skylines. Far more 'muscular' than the R34, I reckon (not bagging R34 owners - just expressing a personal opinion).

Looking forward to read future updates, so I hope you keep this thread updated.

Thanks for all the nice comments guys :)

Wow its been a while since I have updated this, reason being is that I'm currently unemployed and cant afford to blow any money on the car so PFC and cam gears still sitting on the desk here, looking up turbo upgrades / options as well. They will go on as soon as I start earning some cash again as well as some canards and slightly lower it a bit more.

Until then I'll leave you guys with a pic or two (only change is new front clear indicators) :) :

And cars going in on Monday for 100k service at local workshop Racepace so in good hands I hope :thumbsup:, cam gears to be fitted and ran on the dyno and will also be upping the boost a bit on the standard turbos.

Got the car back from Racepace after doing the 100k service, they did notice the rear rotors and pads needed to be replaced so they put some DBA 4000 series on and Fedoro racing pads. They threw the Tomei cam gears on at the same time as well and modified the standard solenoid a bit to allow 1-2 extra PSI through.

Made 233.5kw with just the exhaust / cam gears and a little boost:

And the new rear rotors:

Will be doing the fronts soon enough as well.

As you can see by the dyno sheet the car is making good power its just a little lazy, Chris said turbos could be high flowed or intercooler may have a small crack or something somewhere as they tested the usual suspects such as BOVs holding pressure and wastegates working as intended - both tests we ok he said so thinking it could be somewhere within the intercooler itself. Will be all upgraded eventually anyways, for now still making decent power considering.

      Shifting questions

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone

      Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.

      I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.

      I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?

      I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
