Hey all,

Just bought my skyline in November its a White R33 GTS-T, I'm new to turbo cars and I don't want to go back. The car has been fantastic scince I got it however it is starting to struggle with the heat and the standard intercooler. I only live 15mins from work and it looses power over that time. IN the cooler weather it is so much fun to drive.

Look forward to getting to know you all.

hey hey welcome. You may find that even getting an oil cooler will help with the heat in your car. But's it's almost febuary and soon it will be getting cooler so your car should be fine after that.

also pics or ban!!!

I've been invited out to a track day with one of my mates local car clubs in March which it is still usually hot and the car will be wheazing by the time it gets there before it has done a few laps.

Sorting the digital camera out and will get some pics up soon.

      I thought I'd heard rumor of someone that was developing a 6 speed kit to convert the 5 speed box. But maybe I was thinking of the PPG 6 speed sequential? That's about half the price of a car...

      R34 4 door side skirt identification

      By Rezz · Posted

      I've searched fairly extensively among Japanese websites but found nothing really like those skirts in your photo. The closest I got was Origin Labo side skirts however they look more 'complete' in that they have a finishing piece or tab at the rear of the skirt so it blends into the bodywork, unlike the one in your pic. For that reason I'd say the skirts in your pic could be adapted from another car and they didn't include that tab piece, or those skirts aren't copied from an existing skirt but an original design. Sorry I can't help out in regard to ID'ing/sourcing them

      There's a big difference between a car built with millions of dollars in R&D, and someone like yourself taking a normal sporty road car, and making it 5 times more powerful. At the same time, get a modern sports car, and you can turn them up towards the 1000hp mark a lot easier too. Also, give that Lambo another 20 odd runs, and chances are it too may break something.

      There isn’t really a cheap upgrade here. If someone made a decent, bolt in 6 speed that holds some grunt, it would do very well. The 5 speeds suck. You can put a - OSG 5 speed gear set into it. Ratios are tall so it zaps the “zing” out of it. Had one, busted it. - PPG 5 speed gear set synchro or dog’s. Ratios are even taller. - An overpriced Getrag. Nice to drive, expensive to source now. - A sequential of some sort. Expensive, very expensive. How many times do you pop a 5 speed before you throw the toys out of the cot?
