I would like to state my progression into the magical world of Skyline ownership!!

I pick my new baby up on saturday...

Im the first Australian owner ... and the previous owner even left doilies on the seats!! i think old people owned it lol ... its a HR32 GTS-T 4dr and it only came into the country 3 weeks ago (supposedly) (i put a message on the fast track forum ... hopefully the info is correct)

I think it runs 7psi ... atleast that what the stock guage says .... but im so excited and i cant wait!!!

Also it only cost me $9500 from a dealer with a 2 year warranty (even if the warranty amounts to rubbish!)

I only really have 1 question ... this is my first turbo car .... how long should i idle it down ?? 30secs? 1 min? also how much is a turbo timer and how much to fit it? or is it easily fitted at home?

Thanks for the info in advance :laughing-smiley-014:

yes..another welcome to the 4 door club! Looks nice and clean. Priority would be to get it insured and also a decent alarm/immobiliser. Then you can go on with a nice set of wheels, exhaust, ECU, new turbo, FMIC, etc etc hahahah..you get my drift....the mod bug will soon bite you hard :P

Seeing as you are in QLD, get in contact with Chris Rogers on this forum if you need an honest mobile installer who will do a good job at a good price!

Awsome thanks heaps for the tip.

Recommendations on an alarm and price? im hoping to get a turbo timer and alarm that are friendly etc also the alarm needs to be all entry point and immobilisor if possible..

So much work and so little time.. and i havent got the car yet lol ...

I wish next saturday would hurry up!!

Congratulations mate!! Welcome to the world of Skylines and Turbos... mate... 1 minute is a good turbo timer time if you've had a good run... if not, then just 30 seconds is fine...

Moreover, with turbos remember to let it warm up for at least 1 minute before you jet off...

Laterz,

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
