Parts are slowly arriving, so it's time I put some pics on here...

GTST S2 MAF




Because interior is a bit sad/left out, I've decided I will treat Sky with some nice items. First one is a Nismo shift knob




Previous owner has had three gauges mounted in the dash, but it looks terrible. So I've ordered an alloy gauge holder which fits R33 perfectly. It will be painted mat black, once I receive the lower part and center part of the dash from a GTR


Gear stick and handbrake gaiters were tattered. Leather replacements


I'm missing a passenger's floor mat. OEM used ones are too expensive, so I got an aftermarket set


ARP conrod bolt set has arrived. I'm still waiting on ARP main bolt set. I've also got a magnetic oil drain plug


ACL trimetal race bearings


Blitz turbo timer and Blitz electronic boost controller


Blitz Super BOV


Parts for the alternator and starter rebuild. I'm still waiting on a voltage regulator for the alternator, and starter motor solenoid. Then I will have all the parts for the rebuild. Reason for doing this is, there's a 95% chance they are still original parts, and after 21 years, it would be nice to rebuild them. I also got a gasket for the Nismo oil pump, which I am still waiting for...


Silicone radiator hose set. I still need to order a breather set, and replace blue FMIC coupling hoses with black ones


Piece de resistance is Bee-R rev limiter In plain English, it's a bang-bang flamethrower - because I'm 5 years old


To be continued...

Some new parts...

Because my current pedals are side mounted for drifting, and because they are insanely wide - I can press two pedals with my size 12 foot with ease, I have decided to change them. I went for Sparco of course. I wanted something that looks "normal" and is slim as possible


I have also got a translator for my fuse box. Japanese is not my strong suit


For lower system pressure I have got a Nismo radiator cap


Previous owner has removed A/C, so the car would be faster. If a car has A/C, I want it to work. So I had to buy a pulley for it. Of course it is only OEM, and I got a quote at my local Nissan dealership for 275$. I got it from the States for 65$


I have also received a GTR lower dashboard trim and a few other bits. Dashboard trim is painted, so it doesn't get sticky like on my car. All the parts will be painted in matte black of course


And ARP main bolt kit, which was quite pricey...

Some new parts have arrived...

Rear diff seal


Rear hub bolt, because one has damaged threads


Starter motor pinion & alternator brush set


A few more silicone hoses


Lightweight alloy pulley set


Braided stainless steel fuel hose + clamps + adapters for an universal 30 micron fuel filter (at home)


Nismo GTR oil pump


Nismo oil filler cap + two crankshaft plates


Top end gasket set


to be continued...

Adapter for MAF for universal air filter


OEM cam belt


Nismo GTR water pump


OEM tensioners + spring + seals


OEM gear + bolt for harmonic balancer


Now most of the parts have arrived. I am only waiting for thermostat to arrive from Japan, and two gauges. Liquids, spark plugs and filter I will get in our store. Then I will only need a wideband oxygen sensor, stainless steel exhaust manifold, 3" decat downpipe and fuel pump, and that's it for tuning parts for this year. Then next year I will get coilovers & wheels and then bankruptcy

I have finally received Nismo thermostat from Japan. It opens 10°C sooner than stock


I have also received the final parts for the interior... cover under the windscreen, because my current one has a broken clip and is lifted


And surround for the gear lever. This one goes with the upper cover I bought before. It is also only painted in matte black, so there will be no more rubber-ish plastic feel


Clips for the cover under the windscreen + seal for the prop shaft + gasket for the brake booster


I have also found that you can order a set of gaskets for the power steering pump. I had to have it, because I can see some oil around the housing
