So, Returned to this happening to a parked car...someones backed into it and drove off.

Initial assessment of parts to be replaced:

  • Front Bar
  • Headlight
  • Grill
  • Reo

...yay.....?

Car is all fixed...well cosmetically. Got the original front lip completely repaired so its in brand new condition! Gotta stay away from the kerbs now. 

Headlights are polished but still have marks, one of the lenses is cracked. Have people replaced headlight lenses? Is it easier to replace the full unit?

Also the actual lights arnt working. Hopefully just needs new globes...

Slowly pulling the engine apart to get the fuel rail and injectors out...the car is running very rich so I want to get the injectors cleaned and flow tested...are there any stock bolt on replacements which people use?

 

This is what the car looks like at the moment...

Its been too long since I've even looked at my baby...so yesterday I sent 2 full fuel rails with injectorsd for testing and a refurb of the 6 best injectors to make a set of good OEM injectors. They will be good till I get upgraded ones withc a tune...but first, some of the easy but essential things...this is step 1

After a heap of struggle, got the fuel rail and the car back together. Put 150km on it over the next couple of days.

For anyone who has issues with their cars running rich, I would highly recommend this. The smell of fuel (and actual fuel being shot out from the exhaust) has almost disappeared. The car revs much smoother.

A good cheap mod (is it a mod if its OEM part)! Now to think of the next thing.....

Old vs "new" rail...

Its just easier to get the bonnet off completely and work on the car...spacer.png

Pulled her out of the garage last week, gave her a rinse and drove her abour 150km in one day....so much fun to drive.

Issue's do arise though, by the end of the day while driving home the indicators stopped working. Turning the hazards on still turns ythe indicators on, but using the stalk, nothing works....gotta pull it apart now...initial thoughts of comon problems?

Hey All,

 

I endedup just getting a stalk from a wrecked R33 and fitted it but same thing, no indicators. Next step is to trace the wiring to see where it has failed. Any ideas about other common failures?

A heap of messing around with indicator stalks, fuses and rewiring of plugs, the car is working again.

Now to get back onto the 200,000km service that is requried ASAP....

 Fixed up a couple of little niggly issues and installed a bright LED strip in the boot to replace the standard bulb...makes the car look way nicer and way more..european weirdly.

Currently lookong at headunits for the car. Debating between a Chinese branded Andrpid powered unit or a name brand Android Auto unit....

Working from home means small breaks are for working on the car...started to clean the engine bay, actually very surprised with the results!

This is my process:

Bowdens Orange Agent spray

$1 paint brush to scrub

Wet MicroFiber tower to clean up and let it air dry

 

Working pretty well. This will keep me busy until the parts I have ordered come in

Working from home is annoying becauseyoure tempted to work on the cat but cant because you need to actually work...anyway snuck this in today. LED lights in the footwells. I did the same thing before aswell but it never worked properly...cheap LED strips also meant the adhesive died after a small amount of time. This time, decent strips with proper 3M Tape...its looking nice

Bits of the dash are out for a new headunit that is on its way but stuck somewhere due to COVID19....grrrr

Good job man, been wanting to do this as well. What did you cut the power source into? 

I ran power from the dome lights, down inside the A-Pillar trim and then did the connections in the kick panel. It splits into 2 from there, one to power the driver side and one for the passenger side.

Working on a bigish project on the car right now...but waiting for some parts which have not arrived due to COVID. Who else is affected by this thing?

In the meantime, I bought some Stainless Bolts to try and see what I like the look of and am thinking of slowly replacing the bolts around the car

Thoughts? I am not sure if I like the socket head.. also needs washers...

Been following the thread and love the car; have recently (Feb) purchased a 96 S2 in same the same colour. I have got the Type-M rear pods and side skirts, but I really want the front lip like yours, is it part of the front bar or a seperate piece? I see fibreglass ones for sale but I'm going to chase down an OEM plastic one. Car is looming great BTW, I'm doing similar stuff to mine i.e stock, OEM mods/replacements with a few subtle upgrades.

    • Don't do it if your gearbox box has already having syncro issues. The short hifter will put a greater load on them. If you must I remember Nismo did a shorter shifter, with the top part being physically shorter and the part that went into the gearbox was the same as stock. In saying that I've had a C's short shifter (I think) in mine for many years, which was given to me as the previous owner was not sympathetic to the gearbox. Thus forwarned I was careful and had to modify my normal changing style. You have to be super accurate with your clutch and shifts
    • Well, after a week of daily driving and having to crawl out between the wheel and the side intrusion bars. I got myself a quick release setup. I went with an NRG short hub and Quick Release with some cute heart cutouts on the pull tabs. Nice and matchy matchy with the rest of the interior accents I have going on.  The only downside is the total stack height even with the short adapter is longer than the old HKB boss kit. Luckily I had some adjustment left on the column so move the wheel away.
    • stock shifter with new bushes, springs and cup will improve it. Gktech do all the bits. The opinion as the years have gone on is the redline is not great in old gearboxes.
    • Hi all   what short shifter do you use on your skykine r34?   my synchronous does have a problem and i was getting huge delay and grinding sound between 2nd and 3rd, did put shockproof red heavy stuff and it is great now/ no issues   would in your view short shifter screw this up?   people seems to suggest/ use cube short shifter and there is standard and premium. Seen review of premium as much better and less play. Thoughts?
    • Yeah, there's a bit of a density and friability difference between pebbles and any of those other things. Silicone will definitely float in oil and so will be mobile enough to move around. Although, again, if it is upstream of the filter it really shouldn't go any further. I would only ever worry about silicone when it is in places downstream of the filter. Upstream of the pickup is a whole 'nother matter. We've all seen what that does. I have seen the most abominable crap settled out in industrial gearboxes, trunnion lube systems and the like, without any sign that any of it has touched anything in the machine. Just chilling in the bottom, waiting for the inevitable operator error that causes the whole machine to need to be dismantled for repairs.
