Saw a Gunmetal R33 stopped with it's bonnet up on Hampstead Rd, between Muller & Taunton, last night around 5:45.

I would have stopped to see if you needed a hand bud, but i had to be in Payneham by 6, hope it was nothing major. :angry:

ah yeah I was eyeing off that yellow Evo as I turned onto Frome St .... gave me a nice blast as it went past too .... psssshhhhhttttt :D

Love the look, and the idea of Evos, but could never bring myself to buy one. It's still a Lancer in my mind .... lol

I was in the same mind set until i got in this thing and OMFG!

They are so damn quick!

I'd only stray away from Nissan for one of those or a JZX100

royal blue 32 coupe, white rims fair low, south road/cross road intersection bout 11:15

did u happen to see the rear badge ... im guessing there isnt too many R32's that are royal blue the 1 i saw like that had a GTS badge done exactly the same as the GTR see my edited GTR badge

saw silver 34 driving on south rd near sturt rd yesterday about 5pm...

Might've been me. Did it still have that "fresh off the boat" look? (Writing all over the windscreen, grubby as hell, running on a trade plate) Mine's got white AVS rims on it currently.

Sat in and had a good look at this V35 (VQ35DE) today at PVP Imports - it is the test car for compliance ....

* drool * ....

sorry for the crap phone camera pics - will try to get back there with my digi and get some better shots.

I know a lot of guys on here don't like them, and told me not to buy one, but I still think they are awesome!

    • Great to hear you are bringing it out of the shed again. Unless you have specific issues I'd just add the wideband, get a good tune and enjoy it. Certainly no point changing coils etc if they are working. If would add fuel pressure and e85 sensor if you are doing a general update but not if it runs OK and you are just getting it back on track. The other thing is smaller, modern twins, -5 are OK for motorsport but pretty laggy and old tech for street use (of course, if performance is the priority a modern single with twin scroll manifold etc is the go but not cheap). The final thing worth considering is switching to an ethrottle if drivability is still an issue, it should make things a lot simpler and smoother
    • Yeah pretty sure they are m4, but best to check, and perhaps use new hardware Also don't over torque them......there was that one time I lost an expensive engine after a workshop overtorqued one of those bolts and it ended up in the oil pump (no, I don't know why they removed the intake mesh either)
    • I might have to shoot them an email. Pity the exchange rate is so bad at the moment. BTW, thanks for posting that table makes interesting reading. 
    • Add these Sensors -Wideband, Oil Pressure, Fuel pressure, Intake air temp Good inspection of ignition system of coils, plugs and loom (12v feed and good ground)- a r35 kit is best bang for buck upgrade. A decent tuner should be able to see any issues with the trigger system- a link has good filtering but a good simple upgrade is the nz wiring bolt in kit. Check and replace all the fuel filters- you would be surprised at intank filter after a few years. Also good to check for any leaks on vac hoses and pipe work as has been said. No need to go overboard and spend big $$$ to enjoy the car. A quality tuner is getting harder to find as anyone with a laptop thinks they are a tuner. A link has great features to check sensor voltages and frequency inputs and easy to see live by pressing f12. The link can do a TPS & RPM fuel/ignition mapping on ITB cars then add a 4D table with MAP and ability to add a 5D to it (can help with economy at cruise with wheel speed vs TPS) Where are you located as that will help narrow down a good tuner ?
    • Reviving an old thread, I reckon my stagea is starting to slip. Car usually gets parked on a hill, narrow driveway so cant go up the driveway smoothly, anyhows, lately first gear feels "sluggish"? Not responsive. Feels like I gotta run the engine more than usual to get off the line...  Any recommendations for transmission servicing in Sydney? Or possibly just an excuse to go manual ?
