Hey trident,

Why mask your plates... I never do cause I just figure everyone can see them when you're driving around anyway... what can someone do if they have got your plate number off the internet... or from anywhere else for that matter.

Cheers

To cover your ass in the future. If you accidentally post a pic of you burning rubber, police might chase it up.

Firstly I'm only 17 and will hopefully have my license soon lol. Ive been working and saving hard for about 2 years, and owning a skyline has been my dream for a long time, which has finally come true :)

ha i'm in the same boat as u, all i gotta say is that is one very clean skyline look after it and it will be a lot of fun and good luck with the police cause the one thing they love are skylines and young people

Firstly I'm only 17 and will hopefully have my license soon lol. Ive been working and saving hard for about 2 years, and owning a skyline has been my dream for a long time, which has finally come true :domokun:

The car is a 1995 R33 GTS25T Series 1.5.

So is this your first car? Damn Skylines are too cheap these days! My first car was a 1978 Toyota Corolla. Oh to have jump straight into the seat of an R33 GTS-T :)

Enjoy yourself but be careful. Hopefully we'll see you at some SAU events in the future.

my first car was a 1978 honda prelude... i win :)

nice car mate :domokun:

and on a perosnal note: why are intercoolers considered rice, when they help the engine, yet rims aren't... when they DO NOTHING BUT THE SAME f**kING THING AS THE STOCK RIMS!

waste of f**king money in my eyes... ESPECIALLY when its a first mod...

Welcome to the Skyline family. I can still remember the excitement of driving home both of my Skylines.

The most important thing is to treat her with respect otherwise she WILL bite you.

It will take you months after you get your licence to develop the skills to be able to appreciate your line and get the best out of her. I remember when I got my GTS-T - it was so different to my GTR - I spent so much time going sideways until I got used to the comparitive lack of traction.

Hi guys,

Thanks for all the nice comments once again :thumbsup:

Yes this is the first car I have ever owned and I do plan to be very careful, dont want to hurt the car or anyone else. And the police, yes the eyes will be peeled for them lol.

DKr30: car cost me $14,990

welcome to the world of boost.....you will have a lot of fun in it mate.....get a intercooler and a good electronic boost gauge with a full exhaust and boost it up....feel the power of an RB motor.....

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
