Hey guys.My name is Brendan and this is my R33 build. Starts the same as everyone else's. After an engine failure I decided to get another built and in the meantime started pulling everything apart thinking ill just do this and just do that while the engines out. As one thing leads to another things did get abit out of hand. I'll show you how it all begun.

Engine out at home. Previous setup was a 30/25 with a gt3540. Making 400hp

Engine bay all smoothed out.

Next step the car gets sent to sydney for mini tubs, roll cage and chassis mods

Bought a set of wheels and tyres. 28 x10.5. Once the guards had been cut out the tyres were hitting on the rear chassis rail. So the standard rails will be pushed in and the boot floor unpicked and replaced with a flat one. Wanted to keep the standard rails as much as factory looking just incase rego goes back on the car.

    • Sorry for reviving an old post, but I'm having the same hot idle tick issue. Did anyone ever find out what it was?  I have checked/ replaced Injectors Coils checked Lifter clerance (is at zero) Checked Cam lobes Replaced exhaust gasket and studs Would appreciate any advice this is driving me nuts  
    • There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)
    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here.
