yea, someone spotted a black 33 on the side of the parkway, I figured it would have been you.. not to many black 33 with chromies on... sorry to hear that man :(

Finally gearbox is in and everything bolted back to where it was. It was late so couldn't take it for a test drive. Big thanks to 5hiv and Eiji for helping out.

Thats what we are here for help each other out :)

now i need to fix mine slowly

SkyWagon Rego Re-inspect PASSED! :banana: (cost $14.40 for a guy to walk out, shine a torch thru a rear wheel and say yep) :blink:

Also Wheel alignment done. Toe out was way out on both sides. More than 2mm on drivers side and nearly 5mm on passengers side.

jacked the car up, about to drop the oil out, just making sure is Castrol edge titanium 0w-40 full synthetic all good to go in the 33? have a bottle left over form an oil chance on the fpv a couple of months ago

I wont be driving it to often, timing belt needs to be retention, will it be ok ? I have no idea when the last oil change was, it has a Japanese oil filter in it (imported in 05)

from everyone's comments its way to thin yea?

Edited by ..::R33GTS-T::..

I use... Ryco Z145A Oil Filter and Nulon 10w40 Synthetic oil. Nulon 20w50 in the Wags cooz it's old...

some say to go higher for Hot weather and Track. (as in 50 or 60)

yea I just got the z145a oil filter, I literally had the spanner on the sump plug, then thought I would double check... the only real how wether driving ill be doing in this sat... and no track days till I get my ps, it will be up for an oil change by then..

Nissan recommends 7.5w 30/40. Use 5w 40 or 10w 40, if its a shittier oil 10w 40, but if its like Motul etc you can probably get away with 5W 40. You need to examine your engine and see how much wear you have.Not all engines are the same. Check your compression and how much blow by you have to see what thickness of oil you should run. More blow by means your oil is too thin for your worn piston rings you will also get a lower compression reading. i use 10w 40 summer 5w 30 winter.

Started fixing my car and found out that the air con belt was smoking and i think the air con compressor is seized thats why when the engine tries to turn the compressor it smokes.

Have to change my fuel pump on the 33 me thinks..
Car seems to be chugging a lot and missfires these days.
Had a look over my notes and I haven't ever changed the fuel filter (last change was by dvs jez when the car was tuned)

    • Surely the merged entity will be called "Honda" given the relative company values. I've got to be honest, I don't understand how merging 2 companies that missed EVs (despite Nissan making the first mass produced one) will solve their problems
    • If you haven't bought the ECU yet, I would strongly consider buying a modern ECU. Yes it is very easy to setup and tune, however it is lacking many of the features of a modern ECU. The pro plug in is something like 10 or 12 years old now? Can't remember exactly but it is very dated now. In that time the Elite was released and now we have the Nexus platform.  I would strongly consider not buying the ECU that is 3 generations old now (especially as it isn't a cheap ECU!). 
    • Im happy for it as long as it means reanult gets the boot 
    • Sorry I should have been more clear with the previous post.  The block is a sanding block - picture something like this https://motorguard.com/product/motor-guard-bgr161-bgr16-1-rigid-psa-sanding-block-2-5-8-x-16/ The guide coat is the paint It's two separate things I was talking about, there is no "block guide coat". 
    • Maybe more accurately, you aren't just dulling the existing paint, you are giving the new paint something to 'grab on to'. By sanding the existing paint, you're creating a bunch of pores for the new paint to hook on to.  You can lay new paint over existing paint without sanding it, might last a year or two then sad times. The paint will peal/flake off in huge chunks. By sanding it, the new paint is able to hang onto it and won't flake off.  Depends on the primer you are using. When you buy your paint, as the paint supplier what grit of sand paper to use before you lay down the primer.  Use whatever you like as a guide coat. Pick a colour that really stands out in contrast to the paint. So say your sanding/painting a currently white car, using a black guide coat would work well. You very lightly lay the black guide coat down, then as you sand the car with the large block, all the high spots and low spots will stand out as the black paint is sanded off (or isn't sanded off).  When you buy your paint, hit up your supplier for recommendations for what paint to use for a guide coat if you're unsure what would work well with your setup.
