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

      Might import a stagea

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.

      Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      By PranK · Posted

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Duncan · Posted

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
