Hey guys,

I am interested in purchasing a R33. . Just wondering if anyone knows of a mechanic or a place where I would be able to take it for them to do a full check on it for me (maybe compression and leak down test as well).

OR

If there are MOBILE turbo specialists.

Around the bankstown area only please and ONLY THOSE WHO MOSTLY DEAL WITH SKYLINES

Thanks

I don't know of any mechanics around that area.. but i know of an awesome car that's just come up for sale... PM Marsss off the forums, his car is immaculate!!!! Before you commit to this 33, take a look at his!

just ring nrma mate, a cars a car.

if you want to know some common things to look out for, i think there is a sticky called "what to look out for when buying a skyline" or similar in the tutorial/faq section

im from bankstown and there really isnt anyone around who specialises in skylines. you might want to go to gcg and see if they have a decent mechanic in there (eldrigde rd) and there is No Limit Spares on Cottam ave off canterbury rd. (i cant vouch for those guys, ive never dealt with them) thats all i can think of in bankstown. CRD are on silverwater rd, only 15mins away. advan are also good with skylines, also on silverwater rd.

nrma do good inspections so fork out the $150 or whatever it is and you'll get a rating. good thing about that is if something seriously stuffs up on the car after you've bought it and it is not mentioned in the nrma inspection then i think you can make the nrma liable (dont quote me, im going off what i hear).

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
