Looking at the photos I first though "wonder why they wrote that one off?".. but then after looking at the rear wheel in the last photo I think I know why... as for that guy's comments.. don't stress.. only 1 wanker out of the lot ain't a bad ratio...

Oh my gord! I think I am gonna cry.

Hope you're alright, that's the main thing.

Now there are only 1,000,001 R33's in WA.

Hope you are covered by insurance etc....Keep your chin up.....go out and get another one, in the meantime there are plenty of skyliners you can hitch a ride with south of the river :D

it's funny how much damage the fence has done to the rear panels. like little scales. looks more like how I'd imagine fibreglass panels to crumple under normal-to-panl compression load like that.

on a slightly off topic note - some nimrod has advertised an R33 in the paper for the last three or so weeks with a "one lady owner comment". go figure. good test of how gullible people really are I guess.

Skippers are the worst sharks in the industry. And thats saying something. Took my GTR in to possibly trade on a Liberty B4. They had a clapped out R32 GTR for sale for $38,000. It was really bad condition the wiring under the bonnet was butchered. When I asked them how much they would give me as a trade they said $19,000. For a much better condition car. Scumbags.

The rest were Japanese male drifters...

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Hi all. So I have my GTR on the lift and have been working on it a few days and today I unpacked the frontpipe that was wrapped with heat wrap stuff, because part of it was breaking down and soaked in oil. Noticed that the pipe itself does not actually look like a Mines, despite it supposedly being a Mines. But I could not find any fronpipe online that looks exacly like his, and I don't think it is a custom one. My amateur measurement also showed the two pipes are about equal length, so maybe this is just an old version of the Mines pipe? Would appreciate insight on this by the enlightened folks. greetings from Germany

      Yeah. If I plug the connector in and connect the vacuum lines, I assume worse case scenario is that it simply doesn't work? Yep PFC.

      I would think that rather than attempting to perform an engine swap, with all the difficulties associated with doing so in a country where the raw materials required are harder to get hold of, I would just build the CA20 for boost, find an EFI manifold for it and either add a turbo or a supercharger. Or both. You replace one set of difficulties with a different set, but I know which would be more fun.

      Well, a proper aftermarket ECU** SHOULD be set up to run the purge solenoid, same as the factory ECU would, so that the tank breather system continues to operate the way it is supposed to. I have no knowledge of whether the PFC (which is what I assume you mean when you say Apexi) has an output (and internal logic) to run the purge solenoid. If it does not, then given the product design intent for the PFC, which is to be a plug in replacement for the stock ECU, I would consider that a massive failing on Apexi's behalf and would be another reason to think that they were a half-arsed solution to the problem if programmable management on RBs. I would suggest that since Nistune came to market (which is a LOOOOONG time ago now) there has been no valid argument for choosing a PFC, especially if the PFC can't do things like this.   **ie, Haltach, Link, Motec, etc
