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?

      Hypergear ATR45 SAT Turbo With addons (brand new - never used)

      Yeah pretty impressive hey, good to see quality products not over-shooting their prices. That's what drew me to buy the hypergear turbo, just a shame I've never got the chance to see it in action

      Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand.

      Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!

      Hypergear ATR45 SAT Turbo With addons (brand new - never used)

      By Danowner · Posted

      I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
