FYI my brother-in-law David (Red back on SAU) is running his R33GTR (with R34GTR Nur engine in it) at the Bathurst Motorsport Festival this weekend. FB group below if anyone want to check out pics/join.

The 33 with the impact damage? :( God that looks like it was a massive hit...

-D

Yeah he hit some oil and fishtailed it into the wall :( They are on their way home now - car is not a write-off (we assume), but there is a substantial amount of damage :(

Yeah sadly it was looking the best it has ever looked - I had never seen it so clean and it had never run the Enkei rims on it before either (as the inner plastic guards needed to be modified so they didn't rub).

The front looks bad, but thats only because the guards are alloy and fold up like tissue paper. I had pretty much the same wheel angle after I hit something, I bent my rear subframe, but they arent overly expensive things. The bodywork will be the killer, and if he wants to get the airbags working properly again...

I spoke with David this arvo - looks like a reshell needed - so we are on the lookout for an R33GTR rolling shell. Ripples under the passenger floor, engine/gearbox mounts damaged .... looks moderately major. Sure it will be fixable, but it is a matter of figuring out whether it is more economical to re-shell it or fix it. Plus David is a bit of a perfectionist, so I am sure he would not be happy with fixing the old car if a new one can be had for a reasonable price.

    • MR HAMMER has said his piece. Painted up to avoid Rusty Rusty. Actually lines up well. (i.e it lines up the same as the unmolested GTR guard). Turns out the GTR Strut brace does foul on the bonnet vents ever so slightly. May need a little bendy bendy if intended to keep using with a strut brace. So spacing it out to clear the FAST102 is not an option. Annoyingly, the bonnet vents also foul on the heater lines running over the engine. Given this engine does not EVER require a heater, a delete loop is going to be used. Don't worry, the defogger uses the AC. The heater is basically "Do not use the aircon and turn the fan on". It will still be effective, I promise.... once I get the system regassed... Will have to revisit with unvented bonnet I suppose, and suitable strut brace. There's plans to do this and other things tonight and bleed brakes (there was a weep) and put the bumper back on, and take Good Friday morning - Because troubleshooting on the side of the road limping it home at midnight tonight is ... not very smart.
    • Thank you all for you assistance. I contacted Nistune regarding the support for the RB20DE along with my ECU Code (23710-10U00). They do have a map for it and added the RB20DE as a purchasable option now as well. They also added Malta as a Billing and Delivery options as this was missing. I was honestly amazed at their quick response and action, it took less than 24 hours. I also looked again at direct fit options for injectors, just in case I were to replace them. DeatschWerks seem to use a Bosch EV14 base and makes ones that fit mine at 440cc lowest, but also have 550cc at the same price. I tried looking for other direct fit options and managed to find one (also Bosch EV14 based) which includes a plug and play adapter on ebay. Did a small test with a Noid Light on the troubled injectors and all seems good, so they are pulsing properly electrically. One weird part is that they are missing on the same two cylinders as before I got the injectors cleaned. Mechanic also found this weird as he did not label the injectors and it is unlikely to have the faulty injectors be installed in the same cylinders.  
    • Nice, let me know how you find the 98 tune
    • Put a hand on an injector and see if that's what the buzzing is. You might be triggering the injectors by moving off idle command.
