If you haven't already discovered it, another great read is Aki's blog. It has good enthusiast info from a lot of Japanese articles, sources and resources, and discusses all the skyline GTR models.

Oh yeah, I found his blog a while back. It's great! I hope my blog goes on to have the same longevity as his lol.

I don't think it's necessary to segregate 32/33/34. Let's face it, they are so similar that knowledge from one can 99% of the time be transposed to the other.

Maybe not segregate between 32/33/34 but at least have a clearly defined section for them as a whole to distinguish it clearly from the R35 or older Skylines. I know I was confused about where to post when I first came to SAU because I could see a clearly labeled R35 section but no similar defined section for the R32/33/34 - maybe something like "R32/33/34 General" would help so that questions specific to an area of the car like the powertrain or exterior can still go to a specific section.

Honestly I still find it confusing to see some posts get started in "Vehicle Specific Discussion" and others go into "General Automotive Discussion" when they're all actually about Skylines. Like these threads for example:

http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/458178-r34-gt-r-australian-market/

They're both basically the same - a guy asking about an Australian R34 he's considering buying but they're in two different sections. What should be the deciding factor? Wouldn't it make more sense to have similar threads like that in one section?

Here's an interesting new twist in the Motorex saga - another importer in the US, Rivsu Imports, has been able to convince JK Technologies to work with them to import an R33 GT-R LM. So far it's just a one-off but this at least brings up the possibility of more R33's now being imported, although probably at a hefty cost. I posted about it on my blog here:

    • I remembered wrong, but was close though 1Kz setting because those Jaycar SSRs don't go any faster, 1x pump per SSR with flyback diodes & heatsinks. In saying that, the heatsinks are overkill. Just on an alloy plate is more than sufficient. You'll find without a flyback diode, your SSRs will heat up big time and also die prematurely.  I've been running the two same SSRs since the last motor, no issues, car does 2 hour straight drives in summer once in a while and gets punished on the track. Nothing melts, no hot messes, etc.    
    • Hmm. You're probably best off working out what the lobe centreline or even the LSA is for the stock cams, with VCT OFF. That's bound to be out there somewhere. Then, work on the assumption that the Kelford centreline is probably the same, and wouldn't be more than a couple of degrees away, if it is different at all. I'm very surprised that you needed to adjust the exhaust cam by 5° to get it on spec. That screams there's another problem somewhere. Anything from the belt being 1 tooth off (how many degrees is one tooth worth?) to simple user/measurement error on the degree wheel. I say this because Kelford, like most quality cam manufacturers these days, does a pretty good job of actually making the cams to spec, not relying on patching it up afterwards like we had to do back in the 80s.
    • Besides packing it, you can also fill your pump through the oil filter inlet port. After cranking for what felt like an eternity without pressure, i fed a tube in through there and filled it with oil. Cranked for a few seconds after that and had pressure. 
    • That's exactly what I told myself. I'm happy it came out. 
    • My bet is there's a fuse somewhere you blew that feeds power to the ECU. Or you've bumped something out behind the dash board.
