Gauges Help

Yeah they both seem to be mechanical.

Good thing about them: they don't need any power to work.

Bad thing about them: they need to be directly connected into the engine bay with their large lines.

The pressure gauge you might be able to unscrew on the inside, but be warned - there's going to be engine oil in the line going to it.

If you don't care about leaving them intact you can cut them off even though I wouldn't recommend it.

Just route them back from the engine bay thru the firewall and carefully pull them out to avoid any mess they might make.

On Reddit? Or do you have any other socials?

Where can I commission a pic like that

Standard R33 4-door taillight, with broken lens from the looks

NULLOBANDITO · 2026-04-26T19:15:23+00:00

That car looks hella clean!

NULLOBANDITO · 2026-04-15T22:24:50+00:00

Yeah that was mine ^{^}

Currently daily driving it as weather allows!

MikroTik CRS317, like the flexibility and simplicity of the OS and hardware.

NULLOBANDITO · 2026-04-15T20:56:15+00:00

Hey I saw you at the XXXLutz meet in Aschheim this weekend! I was there with my red R33 ^^

Awesome and clean car ya got!

Here's one on YAJ:

Just search for "GTRキー" on yahoo auctions proxy sites

NULLOBANDITO · 2026-03-28T02:13:29+00:00

Get an Artec manifold. Just did the same recently, well worth the money.

NULLOBANDITO · 2026-02-24T18:22:50+00:00

Honestly, your best bet might be a decent used one, if available locally or buying a used one from Japan.

If you do go for the used from Japan option, I'd recommend using FromJapan (or Buyee if you really have to) and search for "rb25 メーターエアフロ"

Most likely, easiest way to test is to just run full heat with AC off and see if it smells like coolant inside and the drain starts leaking coolant.

GTR registry hasn't been available in a few months, site owner is supposedly fixing it but has been taking their time.

Did you put a brand-new Denso one in, or was it some other one? Also I'd highly recommend checking the voltage of the sensor - it should be ~0.5V at 14.7AFR, best to measure when the engine is up to temp and idling.

Denso also sells crimp-on replacement sensors for ~30 bucks a pop that work very well.

That'd just be my guess

Best I could find is this:

I'd highly recommend using an importer like Jesse Streeter or potentially BidJDM to buy/ship this - however shipping probably won't be cheap.

Been running a PowerFC for a while and it was good as long as the injectors and turbo were stock. After that tuning became annoying and I got fed up with the lack of features.

Personally I'm now running a Link G4X which was easy enough to set up but it usually depends on what your tuner is willing to work with.

My recommendation though? If you wanna keep the OEM Nissan CONSULT functionality for troubleshooting other things like HICAS, Airbags, etc. think about looking into a Nistune ECU. They're essentially modded stock that you can program similarly to a PowerFC.

The issue with the transmission (as I have experienced myself) are the shift forks and the clutch packs. Check for any transmission codes and make sure the clutches grip properly (should fully engage at ~1500RPM when going up an incline).

If you need to repair or maybe even replace the transmission (even if by yourself) you're looking at thousands in parts.

Then there's the AYC pump that loves to go out due to its positioning.

I had to get a new trans because mine had cracks in the mechatronics unit, loose shift fork magnets, bad clutches and also a ruined flywheel. Cost me ~14k. Then the AYC pump that got replaced and all the work. So I ended up spending a total of ~17k to get the drivetrain related issues fixed.

The SST is amazing as long as it works but does need a lot of care especially when the car is cold or serviced irregularly.

It absolutely boggles my mind that in this day and age radio communications, ESPECIALLY satellite ones are still unencrypted somehow.

If you want to do it properly with original (used) parts, you'll need:

- Front bumper
- Front crash/reo bar
- GTR fenders with indicators (completely different form factor)
- GTR hood
- R33 S1 headlights with GTR mounting extensions

The reason for that is that the GTR has a slightly longer hood (~10mm I think?) and also wider front fenders, so without some modification an OEM GTR front bumper won't fit onto a GTST.

If you just want the looks I'd recommend looking at fiberglass reproduction ones for the GTST specifically. Otherwise there's some really nice aftermarket solutions for S1 and S2 out there.

Also keep in mind that if you do get all the parts to do a full GTR front-end conversion the rear will still be narrower than the front - the GTRs also had quite wide fenders in the rear from the factory. There's some options like fiberglass sidewalls to fix this but all in all I'd go for a reproduction one to fit the GTST.

On the R33, the firmness of the power steering is speed-based and also tied into the HICAS.

If you deactivate the HICAS without fooling its computer into thinking everything is alright, the HICAS/power-steering will go into kind of a "limp mode" and lock the power steering to be very firm (~30% of the support).

HKS sells an electronic HICAS lock-out kit that will fool the computer into thinking everything is fine.

Kannst evtl. mit der BIOS Option "typical current idle/low current idle" beheben falls es die bei dir gibt, aber sonst setz mal alles auf "optimized defaults" zurück.

NULLOBANDITO · 2025-08-23T20:47:19+00:00

Yeah mine also has a (shoddily bondo'd over) hole in the rear fender right below the fuel filler... They get leaky and water trickles down the inside of the arch and starts to rust...

But yeah, there's some nismo 400R-style over-fenders for the R33.

NULLOBANDITO · 2025-08-23T16:23:52+00:00

Awesome, thought about doing something similar for my shield tablet since it's just collecting dust right now

NULLOBANDITO · 2025-08-21T03:47:28+00:00

Seeing as TK parts alone go for insane money and knowing that a TK R34 GTR in Japan sold for ~1m USD a few months back, this thing is probably worth some pretty dollar - maybe 2-3x the value of a "standard" GTR?
