Yea the old wire 53,,,not cut mate,,,so I'm at a loss as to why I can get away with over 180 and there is no sign of mods. Figure that one out.

Okay thats interesting as our car can alternate between low and high beam but never both on at the same time. I'm sort of hoping that we can run the low beam on and flash slower cars with the high beam.

Duncan and I would both love that little feature.

Cheers

Neil.

this can be fixed with some soldering skills.

if you pull the stalk off the column there are two gaps you need to bridge with solder.

i can get you some pictures as i need to pull mine off.

Do tell mate.

damn straight 33 has a speed limiter....I spent literally hours a day on it when I lived in the NT....192 = game over. no sign of mods on Neil's car but something was done.

the loom neil mentioned had a heap of functions and non-nissan parts, so I bet my left one it was done by the compliers. It included dash dimmer, new headlight resisters and relays and side indicator repeaters....as long as some other stuff I missed. Maybe it was the speed cut as well (I'll lol if Neil comes back from the first session swearing about a speed limiter!).

All gone now, as is the alarm, cruise control, airbag etc. some quiet day we will remove the wires not required from the dash and body looms too

On the back of the indicator/headlight stalk you will see two bridge points (circled in red) these need to be filled with solder as seen in my picture. this enables the low beam to stay on as the high beam is switched on, it also leaves the low/high beam lights on their own seperate fuses and relays so you dont run into other electrical issues.

This is the other side of the stalk if you want to pry it appart, the hardest part of doing this is cleaning away the lubricant and getting the solder to stick.

Well that was a hot hard working day,,,gotta say I'm not a 7.30am Saturday guy,,,I usually have a late Friday night and sleep in till at least 10,,,not today,,,had to clean all the stuff around the car so we could work,,,buy some gloves and dry ice. All went well till the guy tried to give me 3 x 5 kilo blocks,,,no,,,no,,,no tiger we ordered pellets,,,oh theses are great just sit them on top and they will work perfectly. Kiss my arse pal,,,in the end we got 20 kilo's of pellets for I think $140 bucks,,,.15 kilo's would have been just enough but I've been down this road before and having some extra to clean up the harder bits is a god send. Duncan turned up at 10.30 but I being the in-patient prick I am I had already started. Sorry for no real before and after pics but it was bloody hot and I needed to get as much insulation out of the car as quickly as possible. If you ever do this please buy the dry ice,,,using a heat gun and scrapper is a 3 weekend bastard of a job. Been there do that. After removing almost all of the deadening it's onto using a wire wheel and I still have some work to do,,,mainly cleaning up and removing lots of seam sealer. These R33's are a luxury coupe boat for a reason,,,heaps of insulation AND it's thick,,,some places it's 4mm thick and some of the stuff Nissan use the dry ice doesn't do a thing.

Heres some pics I did take though

Boot area,,,didn't vacuum it afterwards,,, but it's sweet.

That enough for now,,,Handles is by now drinking wine and I'm going to smash some beers fatz style.

Cheers

Looks very familiar I remember that bit o too well. Knowing how much there is in the r33 you guys have done well, I used either tirps or metho I can't remember with a rag to clean up the scumy bits.

Keep up the good work.

I did the GTiR with a hammer and chisel, took half a day but being an RB model it had bugger all of the shit!

I got another GTR you can strip out Neil.

Will you be ready for Thursday still? I have a new brobo cold cutting saw and a real nice linisher in trying to find time to use!

Edited by Risking
2012 is the plan mate. What worries me is rule changes,,,so my thinking is to get it done sooner than later.

All the air con will be gone before Brad gets in there with his tubes and welder but I will be leaving the heater in it. After last weekend with Duncan at E/C and Mark last year at TT theres no way you can not run something. Snowman has a heated front screen,,,while that would be nice,,,try finding one for an R33.

Cheers

Neil.

if you are interested neil I have a mate getting a batch of about 50 heated fronts screens make up in the UK. can do any car they have a pattern for and I'm pretty sure R33 is on there. about $500. it's also lighter than stock and is DOT/E marked therefore road legal and means no more heater needed.

"Looks very familiar I remember that bit o too well. Knowing how much there is in the r33 you guys have done well, I used either tirps or metho I can't remember with a rag to clean up the scumy bits."

Ryan,,,yea that was funny,,,heaps more in a 33,,,wonder whats in a 34. I started using brake cleaner and thinners but Duncan was getting off on it so I had to stop.

"today was an absolute flamin mongrel of a day. we removed 1kg/hr each. better be f**king worth it"

Get over it bitch,,,you loved every moment,,,and yes you were right,,,my body is still hurting. Worth it,,,deep down you love RWD's.

"lol any dry ice burns on your arse those hurt 3 days later"

No burny bums Pete,,,you are not actually surposed to sit on it you know.

"Now you just need to paint it all in there to make it look nice and pretty!"

Yes Matt trust me it will be beautiful. White,,,White and All White,,,KH6 from memory. Can't do much till Brad finishes his handy work.

Brad ,,,you animal,,,a hammer and chisel,,,half a day hey,,,Cheryl will beat your lack of 2 cylinder pulsar in the looks dept. Yes Duncan and I can do your GTR,,,but you may not like the price buddy we don't come cheap,,,lets see 12 hours x $120 bucks an hour works out to be $1440. I'll ring you tomorrow about thursday.

Richard YES I am very interested,,,In fact I'll put my hand up for 1 x r33 and 2 x R32's. Do you have an idea of when they would be available?.

    • Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

    • Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.
    • Hope the cans went down well at least 
    • 255 can't go wrong with the price.
    • When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
