Hi Guys - Got Some Questions :)

[Sambo33gtst]

Hey Guys,

Just registered here and im probably gonna be posting a fair bit around here now cause for a long time now i have waited for my r33 to come from Japan and finally, it will be here on august 7! Very excited, i have dealt with J-spec and they have been great....just wanting a bit of advice once it lands here and i have it on the road

By the way, pics can be viewed here: www.j-spec.com.au/clients/5478

Ok so the car lands on the 7th, is complied and registered on the 15th. Should i take the car to a mechanic straight away for a full service and clean up? or does compliance take care of that?

Premium or normal fuel?

every 5000kms for a service or a bit longer?

is bumping up the boost a couple of psi a bad idea on a stock turbo?

is anyone selling a rear lip wing for the top of the boot to replace the wing?

and is anyone on the sunshine coast here a big enthusiast as myself about skylines?

--------------

Some answers would be great

If you can think of anything else i might to to consider, please do let me know

cheers guys.

I think they change all fluids as part of compliance? I don't know if I'd trust the compliance place to do a good job anyway so maybe change them yourself with good quality fluids if you're mechanically minded or take it to a mechanic you trust. Depending on how many km's it's done and whether or not you think they're genuine etc may be wise to change your timing belt/water pump etc as preventative maintenance. Maybe put it on the dyno to make sure it's running safe, fuel pump is healthy etc.

Premium duuuuude, preeeeeemium!

I would change oil at least every 5000kms since it's turbo.

Any increase in psi will reduce the life of the turbo, so it's up to you. Anything over 14psi I believe will result in the ceramic exhaust wheel coming off? Also may want to look at getting a FMIC if you raise the boost.

Check the for sale section for the wing, or just call somewhere that sells bodkits like Jetspeed and see if they have any.

Yes, I think you'll find there are a few sunshine coast skyline enthusiasts around.

Others will be able to give you more advice.

Nice R33, I like the white ones How much did you pay for it landed and complied if you dont mind me asking?

Hey cogs,

thanks heaps for the quick reply dude.

Ok your questions ummmm....

+ I beleive compliance includes a standard emissions test, and in order to pass they have to change all the fluids bla bla bla. So dunno if theyd use decent products, probably worth asking

+ The 33 is costing me $12,600 landed and complied, so far the car, the compliance and all the nitty gritty has been paid for. Just the shipping fee's to come once its landed

111,000kms on the clock and the video of it on the dyno showed it @ 194kW's....so not too shabby for a 94 model i thought.

No engine mods, 17" volk racing rims and newish tyres. =)

194rwkw's = engine mods have been done

you've probalby got an aftermarket exhaust/FMIC/boost controller in there already

i would consider a full service yourself and consider changing the timing belt unless you can be 100% certain that its already been done recently. The do change fluids and the like t compliance but this is the law - don't expect them to put more than the cheapest oil in the car.

there is a wealth of information on these forums. Use the search tool and you will find so much info that it's not funny

also, there is an official club that QLD owners can join fior cruises, drag days, etc. See the link at the top of the QLD section

happy skylining!

like waz said, search tool FTW

Not saying anything bad about importers but you may find that your line does not get here on the day as planed, as above I suggest getting a full service and dyno done to check that everything is in the black and not the red!
