I have mentioned Nick’s Vitesse before, when I fixed an issue he had with his ECU. Show day is coming, and it’s a rush to get his car ready. Today we checked off another WOF issue; the hand brake.

This is a Public Service Announcement. Rubbish low quality EFI fuel hose is being passed off as good quality, and is failing in a short period of time.
Us SD1 owners need to stick together, so when I heard a fellow owner was having issues with his Vitesse, I offered to have a look.
Everyone with an R33 coupe MUST do this. Skylines are great cars, very desirable but unfortunately thieves know this too and they’re a common target. This fix will remove one of the most common points of easy entry to your Skyline.
As mentioned in my Cars post about the Marina, I found an old “Special Tool” the other day.
I purchased some wheels the other day for the Roadster, which unfortunately turned out to have an offset that was different to what was advertised. In order to confirm this I needed to work out how to measure offset, and thought I would share.
Today’s useless info is that other than common parts like bolts, and a rumor of a shared ring & pinion in the diff, there is really only one single part that is carried over across all of the first three generations of MX-5.
Today’s useless information is regarding the R33 model of Nissan Skyline.
Backstory. So since i got my M3 its had this annoying noise at about 1800rpm when accelerating under load. It only happened when the oil temp was over 90c, and only when under load. It wasn’t vanos, because it persisted after i rebuilt that. The car also made a similar noise occasionally on cold start.
So, the parts arrived today, all the way from Germany. Woot.
