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.

    • Need to see other side of PCB in that area...ie; I don't see any thru-hole mounting, just soldered vias (smd zeners in SOT23 have 3 legs but only 2 are used, as reflected by PCB tracks)
    • 4 to 5 is fine. It will be slow, but that's better than blowing turbos. I don't have a PS pump idle up solenoid on my car, because... I think when we put the Neo in we retained my R32 lines. But.... From inspecton of the R34 vacuum hose diagram, you can see that the solenoid needs to be connected to the turbo inlet as source of clean air) and the plenum (as source of vacuum - which is the place for the air to flow to to cause the idle to increase). So 3 to 1 is VERY WRONG. 3 should go to either the turbo inlet, or the plenum. Follow the other hose from the PS solenoid and if it goes to the plenum, then your 3 goes to 2 2 would also serve as a bleed port for a boost solenoid.
    • Pull them out and pull more apart. You can't do shit with them still bolted to the floor of the car.
    • Yes it is. ZD1 is on the other side of the board. Where ZD1 is marked is clearly opposite a 2 pin device. Our 3 pin device here is not a ZD.
    • Alright, a little update on this... I called Fulcrum, who used to be the distributor in Australia. No Bueno, they don't service them anymore.  Called shock works, who don't service them but offered to dyno the shocks for performance, and suggested DNA in Sydney might service them.  Called DNA, who also do not service them and basically said they try to steer customers away from tein for this exact reason these days- there is just no support for them anymore apparently.  Both SW and DNA said they are a not necessarily a bad product, but they just don't service the brand or know anyone who does service the brand anymore.  So... I could keep calling around but at this point I think I'll probably just spring for the shockworks product, unless anyone here knows anything.  Cheers 🍻
