My name is Michael 28yoa, I don't work ATM Injured my myself pretty bad at work, I Do game console Modchips for people as a hobby at the moment, I have a trendy Mohawk hairstyle and I drive a turbo so my mates started calling me Turbomoehican.

Ive owned a small amount of vehicles. My first car was Oldman's Renault 12 tl 1972 4 sedan, I rolled it, popped the head, fried the electrical system and warped the engine block. I also sanded it back, prepped it, painted it limegreen woot, replaced floor carpet, rebuilt the engine, and fixed the electrical awesome car though had about 45kw what a powerhouse and always overheated going up steep hills. Then I got a commonwhore v6 put a chip in it and then ended up stuffing the suspension on the roads and beaches down to lower light in SA.

I got another commonwhore this time a ex-pursuit v8 vn. The guy I bought it off had a heap of suspension work done to it, chipped, shift kit, and rebuilt engine made 215rwkw not bad for a lump of scrap iron. Did all the services myself, audio install, neon light install. Then bad times hit blew up the engine tried to get it towed, ended up putting hole in fuel tank, bending rear panhard rod, fried computer and eventually it got sold for a burn-out comp car. However I must have the record for best fine ever from the Police I was 21 once! Was going to a party and had 7people in the back and two in the front passenger seat. and got fined and defected for Scrubbing rear tyres, and the car being too low. Never for the overloaded car. Then after all these shenanigans

I came to the turbo party I bought a R33 S2 Skyline Gts25t not a bad car, now after almost $20k worth of mods is quite exciting to drive. this is where i decided to actually learn about cars properly I did every Mod that I could Myself I would just find out how on Google or from forums. My skyline makes 271rwkw with boost as early as 2200rpm and full-boost by 3000rpm although its been headaches the whole way through. Ive had the heater core pop twice and fill the cabin with coolant So now im very proficient and removing dashes and installing heater cores, because i wasn't paying $2000 for a 6 hour job. Ive had turbo shit itself, warped mainfolds, ignition woes of all kinds, false knocking signals, bad O2 signals, shot clutch, Engine not put back to standard when complied, exhaust studs snapped in block, amp ignition wire fry right back to the mainloom, stock radiator had cracked plastic end tanks, pinhole leaks in coolant lines under and behind the head, MAF issues, right hand wheel scrubbing sidewall and tearing apart whilst driving very fast 263km/hr.

However I have fixed all these issues and now the car is awesome great streeter but its off to be sold.

I Own and have read about 2000 or more (lost count) HPI, drift, Hot4's, Unique cars magazines Ive spent a lot of time reading the tech sections and seeing what others have down with their rides. my skills include basic auto electronics, soldering, basic metal fabrication, welding, and pretty good with a spanner pretty mechanically minded, and i can do basic paint repairs. I know a fair bit abit about my R33 especially all the pitfalls

Hoping some will buy it

    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
    • To be fair - you see the same thing for every clutch. There's always someone making an installation error.
    • Just saw this, redacted names. It's on a R33 GTS-t Facebook group. Looks like still teething issues.
