Picked it up on Friday. It still needs a fair bit of work (mainly mechanical) but thats half the fun. For the records it's a 94 R33 in Lambo yellow (Very nice paint job). Has a GTR body kit and custom white leather interier. All the black vinyl has been sprayed white and the dash surrounds are metalic silver. It also has the white glowing dials in the dash.

Mechanically it's got potential. Car was originally a non-turbo auto but has had a 95 series II RB25DET and 5 speed popped in. So far for mods it's got cat back nismo exhaust, monza blow off, larger injectors and a GTR pump. It runs like a dog and you can smell the fuel it is running so rich.

It's booked into MercMotorsports for tomorrow. Going to get a FMIC and PowerFC put in right away so it can be tuned to at least run nice. Will look at getting the dump pipe and boost control done soon after. Seeing the car was an auto I may grab a new diff too.

Does anyone know an auto elect who can calibrate speedos in Bris btw? Speedo is miles out due to the Man-auto conversion. Ohh will take some pics and post them.

Ahhhh I've seen that car around my travels on the coast... Used to have a bit "COMPLICATED" sticker on it...

Nice :D You won't blend in, in that beast...

33 speedos can be calibrated... Not entirely sure how but there are a bunch of jumpers on the circuit board for the dash once you pull it apart... Or you could just grab a manual dash cluster?

FMIC and PowerFC sounds like the right way to go... Dump and boost next... Tick :) You've got it all planned out! :D

Car is due out of the shop on Friday. The guys picked up a nice big list of other items that I needed to get done and convinced me to get most of the mods done now to save dyno time later.

I replaced alot of the pipes and belts, did full service and tune including clutch and brake fluids, The powerFC is being installed and having a custom dump made up and highflow cat connected to the nismo exhaust, FMIC is in with nice polished piping and did brake pads and had disks machined. Looks like it had 550cc injectors and does have the GTR pump so hoping I will get decent power with the stock turbo.

In saving mode now for bigger turbo and boost controller. Was going to install the in dash LCD screen and DVD player that came with the car (still in boxes) but decided on just putting a nice MP3 headunit in. WIll advertise the DVD stuff at some stage just to get rid of it.

Anyone got an idea of how many KW I should be making after all this? LOL I am just hoping that it ends up being faster than my old 180 sx.

RACQ can calibrate any speedo, they do it for a fixed fee too, ask v8skylineman, the cop who gave him a ticket refered him to RACQ to get his calibrated when jason asked him about it.

    • And at over $2 per litre I'm starting to consider setting up a corn mash still and converting over to alcohol and running mine on it !  Up side of that is it all doesn't have to go into the car ! Win win !
    • H2 (for cars) will never happen. It's not reasonable for any number of reasons. It's also not reasonable for almost all of the industrial uses that the fanbois say that it will be used for, again for a large number of reasons. There are some cases where it will be good. But, even those will be massively hampered by the economics. The only way that H2 can be economic is if we somehow manage to get from where we are to the other side of the economic-valley-of-death in which no-one can operate. You need there to be sufficient renewable generated electricity to be available so that it is effectively free. Once you are there, you can do whatever the hell you want and hang the efficiency. But until you get there, the ever diminishing value of electricity makes it harder and harder to encourage businesses to build the new generation capacity, and they will simply stop investing in generation projects. (I kinda think there needs to be just government money spent on building the required capacity in a non-commercial way, similar to how the first fossil fueled grids were built, as national-government owned utilities. And probably some nuclear in there to start. But this all should have started 10-15 years ago to avoid the chasm of death that we face right now). Synth fuels will be much more likely, but will only occur is there is at least some renewable H2 production, because you need H2 to do it. And you need stacks of free (or at least extraordinarily cheap) energy because assembling molecules back into fuels is exactly the opposite process to burning the fuel, and the reason we burn fuels is because there is so much energy squeezed into each molecule. So you're somewhat subject to the same economic valley of death problem as above anyway. That is unless people are willing to pay the current equivalent of $5 or $6 per litre of petrol-ish liquid fuels. Can you imagine it? The squealing at $2 now is bad enough.
    • This is so cool. Get a dashcam that records audio and hopefully you'll catch it.  Maybe there's a brand or some kind of markings on the back ? Are the pics hand drawn? I love it so much.
    • Hahaha yep, point(s) taken. I just like seeing different things and an EV in an R32 is pretty different. I'm not on the EV band wagon, I'm waiting for synthetic fuels or hydrogen personally.
