I am not sure if this is the right place for this, but I could not see a specific section for pics of our cars, so if it is in the wrong section, I apologise.

Anyway, here is a couple of pics of my newly acquired black R33 Series II GTS-T. It is basically stock except exhaust system and HKS pod filter. It also has 17" mags, lowered, and has Cusco front and rear strut braces.

She looks to be in pretty good nick, only 72000 on the clock (whether that is genuine I am not sure), the interior is immaculate.

Feel free to make any comments (good or bad) you like, this is my first Skyline so I am interested to see what other people think.

Nah, I got it from a car yard on Parramatta Rd. I won't mention who because I don't have too many nice things to say about them.

I also discovered my car has a turbo back exhaust - 3" from turbo to cat, Catco cat, 3.5" cat back into HKS cannon. It also has braided brake lines.

dont know what problems you're having with the car quinny, but as i said before, ive got a black s2, and yours just looks fantastic. I'm very tempted to remove the S badge on the bonnet after seeing yours...

Then again the paint job on yours looks a lot better than mine so that probably helps a lot :devil:

Your pics don't show a badge?

Mine is there, I had to buy it brand new ($60!!) because the previous owner stuck a Silvia badge on there... with superglue or something. It didn't look pretty when it was removed.

Not really having any problems with the car, had to replace the clutch after only having it for 2 weeks, which was a mission. Took us half a day to get the car apart and change the clutch, about 2 days to get the box back in, and about 2 hours to bolt everything else back up.

The only other problems I have is that side skirts have come unstuck, which looks a little crap, but that should be pretty easy to fix, and also my passenger side headlight keeps getting water in it.

The badge was not on the car when I bought it, so I take it the previous owner took it off. I probably would have removed it anyway.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
