I assume its a R33 ? Your location may well help as well ! ? !

In the first pic . . why are all those guys looking at your Skyline ? . . . . .ah America . . . I forgot Fast & Furious . . . . .

Welcome to SAU . . . . post up some surgery images of your beast and I'm sure there will be a wealth of advice forth coming.

If your on a budget take your plastic ones to a good panel beater and get them to sand and polish them then two pack clear urethane them. Works a treat and much cheaper than a new set

Went again early Saturday morning to check it out ! A very interesting drive with rain, fog, sunshine, aquaplaning, a mental P plater, kangaroos, a bloody great Angus bull ( with attitude ) in the middle of the road, just after the Grey Gums cafe and finally the second windy section of road is under road works with a 60km/h speed limit with cops (3) patrolling it as well ! . . . . . . not a bad drive actually ! Bahahahah !

1994 R33 GTST.

Welcome aboard ! Yep got to tentatively agree with CeJay ! I got mine in from Japan and it had 49,000 kms on the clock ! In saying that its now got 427,000 kms on it now ( its my daily driving car ) still on the same motor. Just goes to show, if maintained regularly, how well they are engineered. You'll love it

Always wanted one of them ! !

Yep ! How good is the car ( before it was smashed that is ) ? If its a clean unit get multiple quotes on repairing it. Post up some pics of the damage so we can get an idea of whats involved. I'm assuming it wasn't insured or you don't want to go through insurance ? Then try and get a basic parts list together and source the parts yourself second hand and then get a quote for repair.

Lots of things to search for here on this forum . . . but your first point of call would be . . . are the coil packs the standard ones ? They have been cooked for the last 24 years ! Id start there !

After R33 GTR Series 3 ( "red" ) drivers side door card as mine is split at the arm rest. Preferably in Sydney for pick up. Let me know what you got. Contact by PM. Thanks in advance

Went for an early morning drive up the Putty Rd early on Saturday morning to check out the conditions. A slight rain was falling and the road varied from dry to wet with everything in between. Going across and past the Colo Heights section the devastation was very confronting. Its very well to see news reports and be concerned and slightly detached but when you see it in person its another thing entirely. You can see the sections hardest hit where the very tops of the trees, where the intensity of the fire, has reached. I stopped at one of the lookouts and if you want to see what an apocalyptic landscape looks like that surely must be it. Further along there is some new re-growth where the fires must of went through late last year. Kangaroos on the roadside ( and nearly collected some ) trying to get feed on the new grasses sprouting. Again a very confronting day and problems processing the images in my head. I think us suburbanites (and I live at the foot of the Blue Mountains) take a lot for granted in our safety. I recommend you go see. Its very sobering

Welcome to SAU ! Having parents of Germanic back ground all I have to say is - Du hast enien Vogel ( for owning a Skyline ) I know believe me when I tell you this. And I'm envious, bordering on jealousy, as you've got the Autobahn ! ! Thats the place to test your GTR !

As GTSBoy states porting is always worth it . . . . however Rb heads are pretty efficient out of the box. Realistically if you are paying some one to port a head it will come down to an hourly rate and that can add up very quickly. Generally the RB26 heads I have done only need blending intake ports for uniformity, port matching manifolds to gaskets to intake manifolds and ( my preference ) knife edging the intake port divider and if your really OCD the exhaust side as well.

What ! What ? My skyline is not a sensible car ? ? ? For shame ! Next you'll be tryin to tell me there's no Santa Clause !

Wait ! What ? Your from Ireland ??? Aaaaaaand . . . . . you've got a standard R33 and a R33 body shell to put any configuration, preferably a V8, of motor in it ? ? Is that a good translation ? ?

Oh you young people: (Not necessarily in order and a lot at the same time ) - 1967 HR Holden Special-( with red Premier interior) 1967 HR Holden Special-grey 1967 HR Holden Special station wagon- blue with a white roof. 1967 HR Holden Premier X2 with the factory Opel four speed gearbox - the model that was supposed to run at Bathurst ( kill me for selling it ) 1968 Alfa Romeo Gulia Sprint GT - ex works car fitted with the supercharged engine.( bring me back alive and kill me again for selling this one. 1948 Ford Anglia Coupe - an aluminium bodied car. ( and kill me a third time ) Holden Gemini Holden VN Commadore Dewoo Leganza Nissan Pathfinder R33 Skyline RED R33 Skyline Black Mitsubishi Lancer R33 Skyline ( that Ive had now for 12 years ) And of coarse the Astra

Yup ! It was, in the end a toss up between the Subaru and the Astra but the Astra one out because to appoint the Subaru with the same features it would of cost nearly 8K more and that's a lot of coin in anyone's terms.

Surprisingly a Holden Astra ! Went through the grind of going car shopping for just about all the makes and found that the best appointed car for value was the Astra. That and the fact that if your a vegan and the ethical and moral choice is not to buy a car with leather in it. Try it some time and you will be very surprised at how hard it actually is to find a make without dead animal skins in it. The the only thing that I wouldn't allow was a small car (Yaris sized etc) cause I've been in a few accidents in my time. This coupled with the fact that now just about every second car is a people mover sized Ford Ranger and if your in a small car and get him at speed its game over.

NO ! Easier to do what I did ! You simply say this when they want to buy a new car - " Sure no problem go and buy any car you like ! Its your choice as your the one who's going to be driving it the most so you should really get something you like ! " Works every time.

Looks like a great unit. I believe its a Type S. For that fatter look you can get the Type M front bar, side skirts and rear pods for that more aggressive look. The Type S always looks like the slimmed down version when you see them side by side. Also there is a small duck tail wing that fits between the rear wing and the boot lid that looks pretty cool as well.

Yes but only if your insane like me trying to get it fit, work and look decent !

Twin servos at Eastern Creek on the M4 to Jenolan Caves - 2 hours 7 mins !

Don't know if any one noticed but it looks as if the Maatouks R32 Skyline went 6.578 seconds in the quarter mile at 209.59 mph in late November ! Is this now the record ? Cause if it is that's bloody fast and credits where credits due !

Or humanspambot ? Best give it the old Turing Test !
