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.

:(

eug

Just wondering i used the search tool but i couldnt find anything prob cause im not used to i yet but could someone give me some stats or point me in the right direction on my car like KW and weight and all that. thanks in advance

have a read through there buddy for power (around 90ish kw @ all 4 wheels)

weight 1300kg ish

just keep fiddling with the search and you'll fit in nicely

again welcome.

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:

thanks guys for your imput. i was thinking of getting a 97 series 2 front bumper i think it would look good. where can i buy one of these from?

just a question my car is series 2 so would it have come with this bumper even if its a NA. thanks in advance

what are some advantages of AWD?? and i no this is a noob question but is there anyway to convert to RWD?

Edited by SAGTS-4

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?

Hey all,

just wanted to know if its possible to take out the plastic part that says skyline on it and stick a small led globe or something behind it so its illuminated.

first time i have ever seen that on a skyline and would LOVE to have it on mine.

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
