u cant get the real effect of the pearl paint but it is a pinky pearl with a tinge of purple on the top layer(mate calls it mauve)

it has a power fc ,

fmic, apex cams, fuel pump, ajustable suspension, shit load of gauges

18inch rims,

his old car was a holden astra so the transition to the r33 has been a good one

does anyone notice the missmatching bodykit colour look - it might just be my eyes but its the only thing i can focus on in those pictures

Hmm.. Looks ok to me.. Might be just the light reflecting off the bonnet that makes it look a little weird..

*Nice car dude.. :)

good eyes man ,your right the sides and front were damage

when it came off the boat ,so imports 101 organized

someone to paint it and they fudged it up

i told him to complain because they charged him $900

and there going to redo it .

the pics dont really show how bad it is but it really

brings the look of the car down

poor bloke has only had the car a week and has been riddled with problems

its got some huge tuning issues (boosting over 1.5 bar)

and imports101 dont know how to fix it

so they sent it to steve from the old sst (chriss mills)

and he said he couldnt tune without a hand controller

because he dosent know how to tune with a laptop

seems strange to me cause its a power fc , so i suggested hyperdrive and they said we can fix it no problem

indicators falling out of sockets

pipework popping off

power steering etc

everything can be fixed it just a matter of time

I think you will find he said is he needs a hand controller to tune it as he doesnt have the laptop software. I've seen him tune many with a laptop.

If he is having all these issues with things falling off etc - how on earth did it pass compliance... or even the pits?

your guess is as good as mine , when the car arrived it was driven of the boat not a problem ,

my mate seen and heard the car driving all was good ,

and then he tells me the head gasket was blown so imports

replaced and shaved the head ,then the car wouldnt start and ran like shit

thats when it all seemed to get real dodgy

allot of what was said to him from imports 101 didnt make

sense to me ,seems like there was a lot of stalling and bullshit going on

but i know for sure that that car would not of made it over the pits in the state it was in

are you sure?

are you sure?

the same thing happened when steve did my car he only used a controller no laptop ,

i went in with 330hp and came out with 269hp plus

1x stuffed apex solonoid

1x air con deemed useless

1x popping car with no mid range

not having a go at steve but i would have had a better tune

done if i had just driven it into a wall,shot the motor and taken it to kmart auto centre(this is my personel opinion of steves workmanship i cant vouch for the other cars he has blown up)

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
