I changed the octane setting on the engine computer to get maximum advantage.

How do you do that?

These cars (both series 1's) were bought by a guy in Wellington called Baz.
He bought them for parts for his own 33 and is selling the parts he doesn't need. He had an advertisement in the Wellington ...

I've been to a couple of open days before, but not since the drift-craze was in its early days. Just one Japanese student going very sideways in Syliva. I asked him to take me for a ride around the tr ...

I'm 24 and have just joined. Haven't been to any meetings or events yet, but the people I've met so far seem like good sorts.

A friend and I, who have both bought 16V 33s in the last couple of mont ...

Thanks all.

I was kindly e-mailed a scanned page from a manual giving me all the right info.

I now have a road-legal 33 and can set about driving it illegally!

I am going through the procedure of putting a Series 2 33 back on the road after the previous owner allowed the registration to lapse.
In New Zealand, this involves a thorough check of the car by a V ...

Hi John,

Can you give brief explanation of how to get the head off without dropping the motor. It just seems so tight, I'm intrigued.

On a series 2, can you get the crank pulley nut off without ...

Hi Adam,

I read your last post about the cambelt coming off. Was this caused by the crankpully nut not being tightened up enough? Same thing happened to me a few weeks ago. Needed 2 exhaust valves ...

What are the dates, Dave?

I'll be there if the testing station comes to the party and gives me a new VIN without too many hassles.

In keeping with the theme of this thread, I've just joined the ...

I'm still wrecking this car, and have sold quite a few bits so far.
The car is parked on the street and when the WoF expires at the end of February it will start getting parking tickets.
So, I'm goi ...

I've heard of valves being straightened, but I'm a bit sceptical.
However, my scepticism is not based on any scientific knowledge or personal experience.

I would be worried that having the valves ...

It's ok chaps, the panic is off!

I know you were all racing to find this part in your collections and airmail it to me, but I phoned Italian Auto Centre in Auckland, and they've got them new for on ...

Thanks John,

I bought a T55 bit and it fitted perfectly.

Dropped the head off at the reconditioners before work this morning.
Looks like 2 exhaust valves are a bit bent.

Time to ring the Ita ...

Hi,

I need to pull the head off my 16V motor to get access to bent valves.

I've dropped the motor, removed the cam-cover and found a row of charming 12-point cylinder head bolts. Put there to ke ...

I'm reliably informed there are power gains to be had by altering the position of the crank position sensor to allow some minute adjustment of the timing.
The suggestion I had was to slot the mountin ...

Hi,

I'm after the timing belt cover that goes on the front left of the 16 valve motor (when looking at the motor front-on).

Mine met with a grisly end, along with several other vital engine part ...

Just wondering if you ever got this sorted out?

I've just done the 16V into a series 2 conversion and the fuel pump makes a hell of a racket.
Only done a couple of test runs as there are still a ...

I've got a set of tail lights from a '91 33.

I'm in New Zealand, but I can send them/it to Australia if you can't source what you need locally.

Drop an e-mail to jlandmp@yahoo.ie if you want t ...

I have got the front bumper and it looks to be in ok condition.

I'll find out what it will cost to ship to Perth, but I reckon it's going to be prohibitively expensive.

Hi,

I will soon be wrecking a 1991 series 3 33.
The motor and 'box and a few other parts are going into my series 2, but all other parts, like most panels, lights, interior, suspension, trim etc w ...
