Well I have decided to sell the R33 at the end of the year, because I'll be looking to buy a house.

Just letting everyone know in advance, incase they are after parts, I will be taking the car back to stock as modded cars are too hard to sell for what they are worth.

Parts that will be available are as follows:

Z32 AFM & Plug

HKS GTRS Turbo

Nismo 550cc Injectors

3" JJR Bellmouth Front/Dump pipe

Kakimoto Regu 06&R Cat Back

Apexi PowerFC with Commander and Electronic Boost Controller

Splitfire Coilpacks

Nismo Fuel Pump

Cold Air Box

HICAS Lockbar

Will post up closer to these parts being available. Just giving a heads up, as I know what it's like when you buy brand new parts and the next week good second hand parts become available.

Start saving! :down:

  • 2 weeks later...

31's driveable and seeing the odd short trip, lots of little jobs left though. Like paint/fit front bar, lip, roll and paint both rear quarters and paint both front guards; pull leaking front pipe off and get welded up ('perfect condition' secondhand BATMBL dump I bought for a fair amount of dough leaked from the word go around the wastegate pipe...), wheel align, solid subframe and diff mounts, and proper tune.

But it goes, skids and sounds angry, haha.

SO in other words look out the streets of Hobart :)

Picked up my new 040 from SPG last week so all that leaves is tuning of the blue bucket :)

Well, rear subframe bushes let go, ordered some new ones but got sent wrong ones.

Made some phonecalls and was told Nolathane were outta stock till mid July. Now I am told its mid August...

So I decided to pull the front end apart and replace the LHF Inner Driveshaft boot. Easy enough job, except nobody has a boot that fits... Spose my local Nissan dealer will tell me they are about $90 each and 4 weeks outta Japan next for a genuine one.

So the GTR is sitten on stands with bits missing everywhere and the Baskerville Hillclimb is on in three weeks. This will be pushin it to get everything here and done by then.

Dude that is F'n harsh!

What about the RB25 thats for sale??

Didn't want to go RB25 as none of my parts (cams, gears, injectors etc) would fit, would need a new ecu and turbo not ideal either.

I know the feeling, i order some gear for the FC from Rare Spares and they sent me the wrong items, when i rang to let them know they informed me that they didn't have what i needed instock and that it would be 12 weeks before they would have what i needed :rolleyes:

well, my mate fixed my powerfc so kermit is back in action! hoping to enter basky hillclimb too which should be fun :)

Glad to hear its all sorted, lets hope nothing else happens now :bunny:

Well thankfully I managed to fit the aftermarket boot to the driveshaft. Looks like it will work for now.

So as long as I can either get the bushes from Nolathane or temp up some "pineapples" I should be good for the Basky Hillclimb yet again.

The race is on, i have to remove old engine and put on stand to remove cams, injectors, gears and covers. Tidy up engine bay whilst its out and then when new engine arrives fit cams, injectors, gears and covers before dropping that back in.

Have to fit 040, new seat/harness and harness tabs and then tune it so i can make the hill climb :(

Racin before the event and all... thats competitive.

Well I just selected another gear, bush kit arrived and was the correct one this time.

Just arranged shed space, as mine is full at the moment, for this Saturday to fit em all up.

    • Wish I had this advice when I did my pump. It went in and out 3 or 4 times, and on the last time it snapped.
    • Tried them, they leaked. I also foolishly bought some random rubber ones that leaked too.  Genuine and not looked back.    As always though sample size of one, and I could have made a mistake installing them. 
    • Technically still manual process to set it first time though
    • Shit job but not hard. I'd use a piece of wood to knock the plastic lid open to avoid damaging it, use a vacuum to clean up the fuel sender lid also so crap doesn't fall in. I'd probably do pump and filter at the same time since you're already in there, I reused my OEM sock after a quick clean since the one provided wasn't long enough. Could also hardwire your pump if you feel inclined.
    • Supercheap auto sell this: https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/pat-plusquip-fuel-tank-lock-ring-tool---universal-kit/SPO3564082.html I own this and if you HAVE PATIENCE you can remove it without snapping lines and generally being incredibly angry, then said at doing this job. Sadly I've removed the pump about 75,000 times over the years. I don't know if you're a large lad or a smaller lad but my advice to you as someone who is 185cm is if you are my height or smaller, is to sit in the boot and take your time. Yes you can put the seal on. The seal goes over the white thing/lid (you will see how it 'slots' in) then the whole assembly presses into the tank. then you screw the lock ring on. I spent so much time doing things the wrong way by trying to mount the seal into the tank first, then putting the white fuel hat on in the space provided. Put it together first then it'll all go in. But seriously be careful about removing the hoses AND where the removal tool is moving relative to the plastic pipes coming out of the lid when you've removed it. IT IS BRITTLE So brittle in fact I have two spare lids, and would recommend buying a spare and having it handy before attempting to do this. May as well throw https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD in the tank as well, as this uses all stock plugs and such. You may need to/strongly recommend you re-use your OEM fuel sock or use the one supplied with a length of hose so it sits at the stock height.
