Thanks guys. I am really happy with the car and i am still getting used to people looking at me every where i go as my old car was a subaru 4WD station wagon. it is very nice inside and out plus some of the things that i was planning to do when i got a skyline have already been done on this car for me by the jap owner. The car is quite standard with a few mods which i have listed below:

-TEIN coil over adjustable suspension all round.

-Front strut brace.

-Turbo timer.

-98' series 3 front bumper.

-3" cat back system.

Hey i was just wondering how long it took for you guys to stop feeling paranoid about ur cars when u first got them. i don't want to take it to any shopping places and i too affaid to leave it any where in public too long. Also when i get out and turbo timer is going i feel weird walking off with the car running.

Very nice, looks good!

I still get paranoid leaving mine in public (had it for almost a yr), just try and minimise it whenever i can

just make sure you get a good alarm/immobiliser installed correctly

I've had mine for 2yrs now, full comprehensive insurance and im still paranoid about leaving it some places. I dont think i'll ever leave it unattended in a massive shopping centre carpark (ie westfields)..

I agree with most of the others in this thread too, the looks hot already, bring on the power mods.

Very nice car mate I still remember the first one I test drove they are a fantastic car. Have a look at the R33 GTS25T engine tuning guide on the website in my sig mate should be a good start.

Hey thank all. Yeah I hope to build my car up into a good all round streeter. I will be starting with the performance mods soon but I have to buy a deccent head unit and speakers first. Also does anyone know why nissan cheaped out when putting speakers in the car. It only had 30watt max speakers.

Still get very paranoid. Every scratch, every dent that I see is followed by a million swear words. Take good care of the car bud - its worth every dollar and every minute. It takes me ages to clean the car too - but its like my kid, and after all we all want the best for our children hehe.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?

      Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov

      yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
