i bet it was not that crash hot was it ??

my bros getting a r33 for his first car

First car I owned was a Bluebird, L20 with some headwork, tuff little car :O

All I was saying, is that perhaps your brother should keep his thoughts to himself instead of attempting to belittle people about what they drive, especially considering that he doesn't even have a licence yet, let alone a car.

.....but I can see where he gets it from, because it seems you also want to play the "holier than thou" game.

On the upside, at least you had the sense to buy something with a Nissan motor in it for your first car. :)

33's are def not slow

Yeah.. those RB20E's are a real powerhouse. >_<

I think its more based on the way they look, particularly the rear...but i guess watever floats your boat (pun intended) :)

:D yeah. would hate to drive a car that has more rwkw's stock standard than a car that needs light modifying to even get to the same power :laugh:

edit: 33's dont have the agrresive stlying like the 32 and 34 skylines. but to each his own.

they're smooth and sexy

Yeah.. those RB20E's are a real powerhouse. :O

lol... coz all R33's come with RB20E's :laugh:

sorry that he affended you i will tell him that. remember he is still only teen

i had a blue bird it was like driving a go cart but it was just a car to go to work.

then my blood father gave it away to me sis and then i got the vl

what a f#cking lemon he bourght it for me but from the wreakers and 3 months latter if blow up and was goning to cost me to much $$$ .

so i bourght my old bosses car ea falcon s pack it is not a bad car more take of speed but i realy miss the vl but

it was just something that had balls unlike my car now it just gat blody wheel spin and no grip "may be it is the roads in the country "?

i do apologise to you dont mean to get on anyones nerves

this is like at skool or at some day care centre....

a new toy comes out ... you have to have it to be kewl

or... you have to have one of the latest models like the r33 just say....

the r33 is cheap for waht it is... also the r32... but the r31 isn't the right car for me because of the safty features and the power....

compare a commadore to a skyline.... skylines (2nd hand) are cheper for the power they give you....

while commadores give you that ozzie look and makes you one of the locals :(

btw

what i said about r31s suck and that before... it was a joke lol :laugh:

so i dont step on peoples toes but peoples have there own likes and diss likes of every car

some you just dont want to even know about.

every one has there own opinion to every thing in life but some people just take it that to far and life is surpose to be living it and having fun :D

not bagging the crap out of each other

skylines is a sports car and each and every ones pride and joy so take care of them

:P:D:D:D

:P yeah. would hate to drive a car that has more rwkw's stock standard than a car that needs light modifying to even get to the same power :D

I’m glad you like your car, I was only informing you of why they are referred to as boats and personally I would much rather have my car with its less rwkw from the factory than a 33 which is why I bought a 32. To me there is far more to a car than rwkw's.........

  • 3 weeks later...

in five months i will have the cash for the two. and thyen i can start to have a real car

can some help and tell what is the difference between the r33 s2 gtr &gts whats better i tryed to find topic but i cant find any thing to help (i could just be me?)

is it better to have a turbo or just stock?

i never driven one myself

the only powerfull car i driven was a 66 dodge 318 v8

which was a real nice car to drive, but still not sure

people tell me to get a r34 or r33 gtr but iam not sure on the power , i dont want a too powerfull & fuel guzzler this will be my every day car /work

On the upside, at least you had the sense to buy something with a Nissan motor in it for your first car. :D

Datun = Nissan (basically anyway)

I think everyone just needs to just chill out.

All skylines are good. Even the old silhouette that my parents owned!

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
