Hey all, thought i'd throw a post up in here, been browsing the DIY/maintainence, and all that for a while, havent really posted alot (as you can proberbly tell from my count). Been on NS.com for a while now, so if your from there, i_want_a_180sx is my username from there.

Since i sold my 180, i got myself a 95 R33 S1 4 door. its pretty much bog stock, except for a catback and a rediculously heavy clutch (previous owner's idea not mine :)). using it as my "family" car to run my little rug rat around.

If ya see a 2 tone with reflective tinting on the windows in and around town(during business hours) give us a wave , if i see ya I'll normally wave back.

welp just got myself my first road worthy and regeistered car, 21 years of age and living in the northside (everton park to be specific) of brisbane. ive had a look through this site a few time on boring nights of net surfing and now that i own a skyline thought i might as well become a member.

my beastette is a skyline R31 GX model in white. bought her for 1,500 with road worthy and 3 months rego transferred. here is an outside picture of herand this is a shot of the engine bay the pod filter had since been replaced along with the fanbelts. next on the list is to replace the radiator the plastic is showing signs of the plastic stressing and will most likely develop cracks?

Hi Guys and Girls,

I'm Kane, have owned a few Silvia's before and thought I might step up to a real car...lol

I picked up a white 98 r33 GTS-t which is fairly standard apart from Front mount, Apexi N1 stainless exhaust, pod filter and a new head unit. It still even has the stock rims.

Reason I bought this one is that it had only 80,000kms on it when I got it and it has a dead straight body and will be a good base for whatever it is I end up doing to it..

I have personalised plates (KAN33) and I live out in Redbank Plains area so if you see me give me a wave.

I also want to start going on cruises again but with a more mature group that actually enjoy and appreciate their cars and not doing 1 wheel skids impressing their 15yo girlfriends!!

Please feel free to PM me or message (0458496254) as I am keen to get back out there into it.

Thanks!!

Kane.

Hello everyone,

My name is Sam Raven, but my friends call me Raven -

I've been a skyline fan since my first one, which was a $500 4door r31 5spd that shamed many a V8 and handled brilliantly.

Since then I dreamed of owning a turbo skyline until this year when I finally got one a dark grey (almost black) series 1 R33 GTS-T 5spd, She looks totally stock right down to the mags and can be seen driving around Forest Lake - Redbank Plains and anywhere between, I typical give a wave to any import I see, always wave to other skyline drivers without fail.

Currently the only mod I have is a KKR430 turbo which came with the car, next on my list is R34 SMIC and cat-back exhaust system - unless someone tells me cat-back is a waste of money and get turbo back.

This is my first real turbo car so I don't want to get too crazy with mods, I want to be able to get used to the power as I go.

I certainly look forward to coming to some events and meeting some fellow skyline fans/owners and learning from the pro's and getting shot down by the elite.

I'll work on getting some pics of my baby up once I can get her in some good light.

Thanks for reading, and see you soon I hope.

Welcome all!!

Raven: Catback is good enough and with a good hi-flow cat I doubt the difference in power wouldnt be significant comparing to turbo back/decat. Also you wouldnt have the risk of being defected for not havin a cat (even thought most hi-flow cat are illegal anyway but they just wanna see a cat there).

Hi guys, Picked up a 94' R33 GTST about a month ago. Its slightly modified putting out around 220rwKw, high flow std turbo, pfc, splitfires ect. Its incredible fun and a massive jump from the Hyundai Excel haha, surprised how easy it is to drive. Drives and idles along beautifully thanks to a few DIY's

Not sure on future power mods, because it'll be pushing stock internals a little too far :P .

Needs some suspension work though, having 1 half rooted rear shock = fun.

I'm up in Rockhampton, not sure many cruises happen around here but hopefully I'll join one haha.

Hey QLD'ers. Ive been a member for a while, but never really been involved in the cruise/meet scene, hoping to become more active in the future. Due to a forced holiday from our fine roads I am in the process of rebuilding an R31 oz spec for all round motorsport activities such as sprints, drift and drag. aiming for around 300/350 hp at the wheels (ie response) anyways. have a good one.

Oh yeah, Im on the southside :)

Hey Guys!

Im Michael, just bought my first skyline, R34 Gtt, its been my favourite car for a long time, probably since i first saw, too fast too furious, so when i hit the market for a new car, i just had to get one.

i recently moved to the southside from the northside of brissy, so i do a lot of traveling still and always around town showing off my car :P . im up for meets and drives and hope to see a lot of you out there on the road and around town.

ive been researching this site for a while now, and this is my first post, so dont be afraid to shoot me an email or add me to msn - [email protected] , since im new, im not sure how everything works so far, but ill find my feet and hopefully see you all at some upcoming meets and drives.

p.s. i apologise for any future stupid question i may ask.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
