Here's the GTR on the weekend wearing some different boots (Enkie RP02 and RE55s) and showing off the CSC brakes.

LOOKS noice mate.

although it is a little naked now without the advertising :lol:

And where was your lazy backside lastnight mate, i made it to Marks so why didn't you ;)

UPDATE

All parts have finally turned up and ready for the HUGE weekend ahead of me to get the car back on the road.

SOLD PFC to Mark for his race car but bought a few little GFB's for the little ol Rb20 thumper :)

Pics will come and also progress on build

Cheers GMB

sav man - Yeah I am, but there will alway be another GTR sooner rather than latter. May just a as a nice roadie instead.

grandmasterb - I was finishing the putting up the $3000 fence at the new house. How can powercoated tube be so expensive?

I like it without the stickers, looks a bit more stealthy!

hey guys, im pretty new to the forum. i own a R33 series 1. got it freshly imported in november last year. it's currently maroon, but im just waiting on the Trial body kit to arive so i can do a full respray on it. im going for a bayside blue, maybe a bit darker. the car was stock when i bought it, and so far i have put on 17" mags, 3" mandral bent zorst, front mount, k and n filter, turbo smart boost controller, autometer bost guage and volt guage, Rockford Fosgate sound system, playstation 2, 7" screen. currently having boost problems, and when it's under boost the car runs really jerky and crap.

lol sounds bad dude but i dont know much about cars so u migth b lucky :rolleyes:

but still sounds like a nice car where bouts u situated have i seen it a lil bit out of ridgley or probably some one else :) lol even though thats brown...

Could be any number of problems mate.

Start with the most common problems:

dirty AFM

fouled plug

crook coil/s or ignitor

boost leak (if its only under load)

blocked fuel pump or faulty fuel pump.

Start by trying to elimante a few of them first.

Im sure that someone in your area can give you a hand with it if you get stuck at all :)

GOOD LUCK

GMB

I got a nice package in the mail today :(

How much boost are you trying to run, if everything else is ok, you may be hitting the boost limitter. Don't try and run anymore than 12 psi with a "stock everything else" ( turbo, ecu, etc ). If you wan't more (everyone wan'ts more) you'll need to upgrade your ecu, then your turbo, then your fuel systm.... etc and so forth........... or you could just run gas :-)

Back in black! My Skyline is back on the road again! you couldnt wipe the grin from my face with a wild badger :P what a mission, 4 12 hr days, tell you what - I wont be doing that again in a hurry...

Still have a few teething troubles, hicas light is on (I think I know what that might be - search button you're my hero) and I have one hose which is not quite on properly (water line down the back of the engine - need a reaaaaly long set of needle nose pliers)

I am just taking it easy on the replacement engine for a few days, its hard, I saw a little boost last night on my lap around the block, the car is going "lets go" im crying "dont tempt me!"

Hope to see you all on the blacktop sometime soon! Incidently do you guys know of an good roads near hobart (other than over mt wellington and grasstree) - all while obaying speed limits and being safe of course.

Sump for ANIMAL has been ordered and hopefully make it from Japan in time for the April weekend.

Blue Beast is up 4 SALE and so is the race car.

Looking for a job at the moment so if anyone know's of something going that may suit me or just pays the big bucks then it would be much appreciated if you could let me know :(

GMB

i found out what the problem was with my engine, the circuits for the throttle posistion sensor in the ecu was stuffed, so im just saving up for a PFC.

:( DOH...

bet that took a little while to find, would of been one of the last things i would of checked as well from your first discription.

I maybe able to help you out with a price on PFC so PM and let me know!!!

    • I bought the model back in Japan in Feb. I realised I could never build it, looked around for people who could build it, turns out there's some very skilled people out there that will make copies of 1:1 cars or near enough. I'm not really a photo guy... but people were dragging me in a group chat for the choice of bumper as someone else saw the car before it was finished as they are also a customer of that shop. I took the photo in the above post because I was pretty confident that the lip would work wonders for it. Here's some more in-progress and almost-done pics. It gives a good enough idea as to what the rear looks like!   I have also booked in a track day at the end of January. Lets all hope that is nothing but pure fun and games. If it's not pure fun and games, well, I've already got half an engine spare in the cupboard 
    • Well, do ya, punk? Seriously though, let's fu<king go! The colour and kit looks amazing on the car. Do you have any shots from the rear? I don't quite follow how the model came around. You bought the white kit and he modified it to match your car? Looks nuts either way!
    • So my car is finally back from paint! This took an absolutely insane amount of work and should get it's own build thread - but I didn't build it. It was completed by Troy @ https://scalekustoms.com.au/ I originally bought the AOSHIMA URAS Type R kit while I was in Japan, it's supposed to look like this when assembled: Now, I thought that was cool enough until I opened the box with Dismay, as there's no way I could possibly have completed it. The thing is 1/24 and has details down to the steering wheel horn button, which is a 2mm diameter sticker. I originally wondered if someone could make it at all, as is - But then things got a little carried away. It's worth noting that the model does not have an openable bonne, let alone engine bay, OR an openable boot. - Troy has worked wonders with 3D printer and presumably better eyes than I will ever have. My photos suck, so I will post up some of his in-progress ones he sent to me during the way. Unsuprisingly, he is very detailed. A lot of these are out of order. But he: 1) Made a LS engine and an engine bay appear out of thin air 2) Made the bonnet removable 3) Printed the rims I will buy in the future (or any rim you want) 4) Printed and added the wing that is going on 5) Tinted my back windows as this is what my car has IRL (privacy glass) 6) Added a licence plate. 7) Somehow did the interior 8) 3D Printed my actual seats 9) Made the exhaust under the car connect even though this is likely invisible. 10) Created a boot with my fking battery box, power steering reservoir, subwoofer and toolboxes back there. To say it's insane is an understatement. And I f**ked it all up because when I was re-mounting the wing (it broke in transit) I spilled glue everywhere and ripped paint up and Gregged the rear half of the car. Which about makes sense. Also, this arrived on the same day. Quite the change from: I spent 16 hours per day over the next 3 days pre-christmas putting the interior back together, mounting lip, fixing various bodykit problems with window mouldings, etc. and servicing, rebuilding my 370z brakes to go on the car 'soon', messing with heights to check clearances for new wheels, etc. I also had a foray into mounting wiper-mounted washer jets which was an absolute disaster. The bodyshop has welded (and painted) over the stock jet locations for reasons unknown to everybody (i.e they forgot) I also wanted to wire in the oil pressure sensor on Christmas Eve which was a BAD IDEA. You do not know terror like pulling your ECU apart, pinning in half-fitting pins that aren't the right ones, but trying anyway because it's Christmas eve, putting your ECU back together and having a no-start condition with a fuel pump not priming. Then you undo all your work and the fuel pump still doesn't prime. So after all that terror and horror and pain and tedious disassembly, the issue was the relay in the boot which seems to have died/stuck when I was turning the car off and on about 700 times testing shitty washer jets. I also re-wired the fuel pump power plug which fell apart in my hands. I am very happy I had 3 extra pre-made ones from a few posts/last Christmas's breakdown. https://bluewireautomotive.com/products/10-x-pcm-ecm-ecu-terminals I have put an order for these in, so I can actually add the pins to the ECU properly. The commodore ECU does not have the pins for Oil Pressure via ODB2. However the ECU can support it if you create the pins and wire them in. So for round two, and somehow attempting to route that into the engine bay through my impossible engine bay grommet is a fight for another day. It's 40C in Melbourne tomorrow, I am half tempted to drive the car with the aircon on to deliver presents to my partner's family and see if it helps with the overheating-on-40C-days-in-traffic-with-aircon-on-only issue that the vents were intended to solve. Do I feel lucky?
    • Yes, while being... strictly unnecessary. Tuning is a bit like quantum physics. You don't need to understand what Schroedinger's equation actually means. You just need to run the computation and accept the answers. With tuning, you just push page up/down until the exhaust tells you that you've got the fuel right. The VE can stay hidden behind the curtain like the Wizard of Oz and you'll never need to know what he looked like.
    • The second part yes, the first part about easy VE calculation is something I've seen a few people talk about online.
