Hi there, >_<

Just thought I would say gday to all you people and introduce myself.

My names Dave and ive had a 98(Yes Really) S2 R33 since 2000 which I have kept dead stock until 6 months ago when I decided to finally go down the modding path. When I bought the car it was one of only a handfull in Australia and have watched over the years as they have grown in popularity.

I have only had V8's all my life and promised myself after my last car(HZ Statesman with 550hp 350chev) I will never do up a car again!!

But the bug always come back doesnt it (Much to my wifes disgust :ninja: )

So far ive only done the usual mods(FMIC,APEXi Super Suction Kit, Custom Air Box W/CAI, Split Dump Pipe, High Flow Cat & HKS Exhaust....Clutch Kit on the way) And will be getting ECU and HKS GTRS at some stage in the near future. I just sent off my NSW membership application yesterday so keep your eye out for my on the streets of sydney and give us a wave.

I look forward to meeting some of you guys at events/Track days (When work permits :ninja: )and getting to know some of you better.

Here is a picture of my baby from about 7months ago the week before I started doing the mods.

I have a real passion for the skyline and want to have not only a fast but well built and smartly modified street/Track car that i cant see me getting rid of for a long time yet. Anyway I think Ive rambled on long enough ( Im off work with the flu and I'm getting REALLY bored at home)

Take it easy people and I look forward to talking more with You all

Primordial: I live out Dural way.

DRD-OOF: I do love this turbo 6 but ill always have a soft spot for my statesman (Spent over 30k on it) there is nothing quite like the sound of a full house Chev you know!!

Plus it did go HAAAAAARRRD. Just very hard to get nearly 2.5 ton of 70s metal to stop!!

yeah i can admit, a V8 sounds like a monster :ninja: not ot mention theres just simply more potential in them as far as power goes...

you will find most skyline owners are fans of good workmanship, motoring and engineering... its not always turbos vs V8's... its just the two sides get very defensive >_< as you would probably know... you've been on both sides :ninja:

Dural hey... so youve got a million long windy roads at your disposal? :ninja:

"I think i've seen your car around before actually. I live at Cherryrbook."

Yeh you probably have. I havent driven it much lately tho cause ive been doin the mods myself and the exhaust only turned up last week( Still waiting for my bloody cat so havent even started it with new zorst on it!!!)

"Dural hey... so youve got a million long windy roads at your disposal?"

Yeh mate many,many, many windy roads out here!!

msnismo: I know, like I said I promised myself (And my wife) that I wont start modding again but after 7yrs I just couldnt help myself. Im sure you all know how it is.

Im just hangin out for my cat to turn up so I can crank it over and take it for a spin

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
