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.

    • This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone
    • Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.
    • I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.
    • I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?
    • I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
