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

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!

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
