I just got approval for an FMIC from my insurer, and i was looking at the Hybrid kits, specifically, the GT-Spec kit. I was also looking at running a Power FC with boost controller kit. My question is, the GT-Spec kit Hyrbid Intercooler how well does this fit behind a Series 2 front bar? I'm not planning on fitting it myself as my mechanical knowledge is limited, but will it sit nicely behind the bar? And secondly, currently the car is mostly stock with just an exhaust system. i might take it further later, but would the Power FC be the way to go to run more boost? My reasoning is if i decide to go hi-flow turbo etc later on, at least i have the foundations to build on. Are there any downsides to running it on a pretty much stock car? Thanks for any help and opinions!

Just chasing some bolts for an R33 skyline passenger seat, four bolts. PM me if you have any and what price you're asking. Cheers.

used it on my car too, good stuff. Supercheap also stocks it.

What? it doesn't!? When did this happen? Lol, seriously though, got a wave from a red ford falcon station wagon in Gordon, anyone from here?

Spotted a silver R32 at JB Hi-Fi at the last minute, if it was anyone on here sorry for being rude, and also spotted a silver R33 with gold rims near gordon, again, if anyone on here sorry i didnt notice you till way after the fact. I must've been driving with blinders on.

as far as i know the one i got from them was exactly the same. either way, never ended up installing it anyways.

I got one from EVO in Fyshwick, $95 i think

might be some info on forced induction, RB2x turbo upgrade. there are three of the topics stickied at the top page.

Did you need a cheerleader squad to help you? Seriously, good to hear, my grandmother used to smoke like a chimney and that's half the reason she passed away before her time. Congrats!

i wasnt near civic and have just a GTST S2 wing so wasnt me.

Black 33 is mine Didn't see you, probably would have been at work. Spotted a black R33 S2 on the way to queanbo, Vic rego i think, driver didnt wave though. Also spotted a black 33 S2 on the way home, FMIC, that you Leigh? only caught a glimpse, driver waved i think i got a half assed last second wave in though. Looked tough!!

so she went up a median strip, and then just stopped in the middle of the road? WTF was she thinking? Pics are not pretty to look at, hope your baby is ok.

just a thought... i think you need more guages

i'm not huge on that roof, makes it look like a 180 with a weird body kit, but i definately appreciate the time and effort that went into that car. You should be very proud with it!!

Spotted silver R33 GT-R (or badged and kitted GTST not sure) parked in Woden after 2 on thursday, won't say where, but only caught a glimpse of it.

Like wise, i have an oddysee (sp?) as well, and yes, it cost a fair bit

if you're looking to take scratches out i found something useful. Some d*head keyed my lights across the back, so using 2000grit wet and dry sandpaper with a bit of water i sanded the scratch back, and used some car polish over the light once the scratch was sanded back. looks good as new.

spotted a silver series 2 R33 on the side of the road yesterday arvo just after brand depot. was in parents car so wouldn't have seen me. hope everything was ok, that car was parked on a massvie angle.

The draining battery problem was fixed, a connector was making contact where it should and the amp was recieving power all the time even when the car was off, so they fixed that up. Like i said, its working now and i'm happy to leave it provided it doesnt stuff up again. Thanks for the input though, i didnt want to be too quick to point the finger at them.

i have a deep cycle/dry cell in my car, i'll look at the name later. Fitted the mounts in the boot nicely. Had no problems with it.

thats just the speedo not the tacko. that was still a stock component. its working fine, i just found it quite coincidental it broke the same day i took it in to them.

1996 model. only done about 80-90 thousand on the clock.

I took my car to an electrician (who shall remain nameless) to have an voltage drop problem looked at, as my battery kept draining. After taking the car in i was advised it was dodgy wiring on the amplifier in the boot, they added a proper connector and i thought all was well. I took the car out to Tharwa that afternoon, and upon getting back home and turning the car off, i needed to start it again and move it. When i flicked the key, the tacko did nothing, sat on 0. i took the car straight back to the auto electrician, they checked the fuses and said they were all ok, but advised i book the car in for them to have a look at. When they contact me next they said it was faulty, that this was a common fault with R33 Skylines, and that they could get a new one for me from Nissan for $600-700. I know Genuine new Nissan stuff is expensive but i was floored. I contacted a spare parts place and found i could source one for around the $50. I called back the auto-electrician, who had not even offered this option to me, and told them i could get a spare. they kept offering to take out the 'faulty' unit and let them install the replacement when it arrived. I was pretty cut by this time so i told them to put my dash back together with the tacko, and paid them $90 to do sweet F all. Driving around the following week it kicks back in and has been working fine for the past month. Does that sound dodgy? Were they genuine that it was stuffed and that its a common fault because i had never heard of it happen as regularly as the guy had made it sound. It seemed very coincidental that it stuffed up the same day i took the car to them to have something fixed. What do you think?

I've got a few little mods in mind, but not many are aimed towards performance as the insurer is quite strict about what can and can't be done. I'm looking to install Hybrid FMIC, and run a bit more boost. A set of 18" Lenso Muse rims are pending approval from insurance company, hoping to have them on very soon if approved. Recently upgraded the stereo in my car with new kevlar front splits, just bought two 12" Type R Aplines and have a Class D 800W amp on it's way, will install these in the next couple of weeks in custom enclosure. replacing the existing 12" sub and underpower amp. Planning to tint the windows and touch up the scratches on the car. should do me for a while. Very excited about it all!

This friday night? Would've been me, parked at the liquor shop before ging to some dodgy chinnese place that also did italian food. go figure.
