welcome aaron,

looks like the NA section is starting to pick up. congratulations on the buy, looks like a very very nice example of how a series 2 r33 should be.

you have the cool light up skyline garnish at the rear too - that's quite rare!!!

as to the front bar i havent seen one like that either (looks similar to a doluck, but its not).

either way the car looks good - use the search function on the forums to find any answers you may have.

:(

Gday mate,

Yeah I’m new to the forums too, its all good fun on here.

I'm probably in the same boat as you knowledge wise but i think if you asked the majority of people on here, they wouldn't touch e-bay "performance" enhancers with a 10 foot pole, I remember something a while ago on the forums that acted like a 'electronic supercharging' thing with a fan that looked like a pod filter, absolute bull dust.

Don't know what the laws 4 you guys are over in SA but in Vic I’m pretty sure "piggy back" computers like the APEXi SAFC and this product aren’t allowed.

Personally I think your better off giving this a miss and investing in quality brands, you have a good lookin car, it would be a shame if this bugger did some damage too it, just my 2c :sorcerer:,

Have a good one,

Regards,

Sean'O

i dont know much about performance chips and that but does this actually work or is it all bull sh!t?

Most certainly stay away from these. It's pretty much a $0.60c resistor in a box that makes the ECU think the air is cooler than it really is. It will therefore run slightly richer and cause problems down the track. Seriously... at $1/hp increase, if they really worked i'm sure everyone on these forums would have them!

Stick with quality products for your skyline... and remember... if it seems too good to be true, it probably is :woot:

hey buddy,

got a coupla answers for you.

- the front bar your talking about is actually a bottom lip which goes on to the standard series 2 bar.

- if you keep an eye out you might be able to pick one up on the forums.

- advantages of awd are; better launches, better grip in the turns, attessa.

- disadvantages; some people find rwd more predictive, less overall power since power is transferred to front wheels, not ideal if you like to hang the arse out a bit (not to say its not do-able :P)

- the only way to run RWD in an R33 is by dropping the front shafts or with a torque split convertor.

- R32 just pull the fuse.

Welcome to the end of your sanity and savings Aaron :wave:

Firstly, NICE CAR !! I didn't even bother "dreaming" about owning something that nice when I was 16 :glare: That's a really good choice of car to help you learn car control and still have a world of fun.

Enjoy and for fwck's sake, DON'T become another P plater statistic on the 6 O'Clock new ! :wub:

Unless you want to be racing it, stick to the AWD.

Main advantage is increased traction, it'll "hug" the road better than a RWD.

Also, RWD cars (namely sports cars such as the Skyline) are known for being prone to spin out in wet weather.

The AWD has a much less chance of doing so.

AWD is much safer in that regard.

Your car is exactly what I'm looking to buy.

How much did you get it for?

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
