Hi all...

I looked for a newbies section but to no avail. (im prob just blind)

Anywho, i dont own a skyline. But thought i'd register as i came along to a SAU cruise the other night...

I was driving Carly's 33..

thought i'd just post up a few pics...

Also, matey with the yellow 34 with 20s (vish??), i remember something about a turbo FTO??? got any links to him on here??? Wanna see those pics!

Oh btw, i own an fto... Dont be mean to my car and i'll be nice to skylines... Agreed? nice...

oh and before anyone takes the first pot shot... I hate FWD too... but we all must sacrifice something to own a car we;re passionate about...

Anywho... heres a few pics off my phone.

Haha your a member. Wait till i tell ur FTO club. Anyways nice pics...i wonder who took them >_<

Yeh u only took half those...

All the close ups and decent ones were me...

And as i said.. theres a fair few FTO club members on here already as most of our members have owned skylines/ some sort of nissan turbo before buying their fto.

anyway... anyone know of this turbo fto?? Would love to check out the work on it... Vish said theres pics up on here of it??

Too much power?? pfft... like 100-110kw atw for a top of the range GPX/GPvR.. and 1080kg or somethin... Pretty easily outrun by any turbo. i think only a 15.4sec qtr in standard form..

But yeh... too much traction is right... in standard form they just cant lose traction...

Tho mine has a few little mods which help loose some rubber... hehehe... still FWD tho >_<

Thanks man... Yeh im yet to see what this little 2L gets when i get it back on the dyno at the end of the month...

but went from 100kw atw n/a to 150kw on 5psi... new engine rated to 26psi but my little GT28 will prob max out around 18... will see how the power figures turn out... but yeh.. i was getting full boost around 3,100... but everything changes when you rebuild another engine for it..

Definately up for coming on a cruise... Skylines are my arch nemisis... hehehe... so they are what inspired me to turbo my car.. was sick of being beaten.. but the fto was too good a car to sell... so i bit the bullet and gave the tuner/mechanic my bank account.. :(

Will see you out there hopefully

Welcome Sam! Nice to have met you the other night at the coffee meet.

Heheh, my first car was a mitsu, although not quite as flash as an FTO... lol. Then i saw the light and bought a Nissan and have owned Nissans ever since heheh... Great to see something different though!

Are you mates with Sammi??? She's got an FTO. MSF70 i think her plates are...

You'll definately have to bring it out cruising one night!

Hey teena.. Was great to meet you too... Sorry i only got one pic... but we had to go...

Some very nice skylines there...

Will be good to go for a run with you guys... FTO club is awesome but everyone is N/a.. so pointless comparing mods...

So long as no-one plays pick on the Mitsi... (Im allowed to pick on skylines cuz im out numbered... lol)

And yeh im good friends with sammi (and almost anyone with an FTO in qld)

      Unpeeling the Orange

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By MBS206 · Posted

      For DBA, check out their guide table here. https://dba.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Direct_Replacement-Guide-2021.2.pdf   Additionally they have some other guides and info on how to make sure you choose the right pad.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Sorry, just assumed that talk of coloured pads meant EBC red/green/yellow/shit stuff. I don't know the DBA pads, but it's a reasonable bet that they will be OK. DBA make good stuff generally. Those 4000 series rotors I linked to are very good. I may well replace the RDA rotors I have with those when required.

      The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
