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.....

First car - Poo brown '83 GJ Sigma sedan with Fire-breathing 78Kw (@engine) 2.6L Astron 4Cyl. Modified it with 2 sets of 6" 2ways, a 2ch amp and a Sony Head unit. I'm showing my age now...... Oh yeah, it was a 3sp auto too!

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
