Hi ACT guys and gals,

My names Sam and just thought I'd finally post up after lingering on the forums for a couple of weeks.

Bought a White R33 from an importer in Sydney 2 weeks ago and just passed at the Dickson Motor Registry on Wednesday. It's stock as a rock apart from a cat back exhaust and some 17" rims which i'm looking to replace as I only just noticed that they are using bolt on spacers.

I've come from the RS Liberty Club and still currently own my 1992 Subaru Liberty RS which is a pretty wicked beast with many many mods on it. However, I've made the swap back to a Skyline as I'm seeing the skidpan and the motorkhana's run by the MG car club more often than Wakefield (which i set the Subie up for).

Looking forward to doing some mild mods on the 33 (nothing major) and seeing some other skylines in action at the khana or skidpan in the future.

Cheers

Sam

Welcome Sam, its good to see you 'come out' rather than lurking :P and of course we want pics (we always do)

You will have to come out to the Museum one of these nights and catch up with us all. The hillclimb is on tomorrow at Sutton Road... if you swing by for a look, don't forget to come say hi to us, just look for the Skylines.

Thanks for the warm welcome people :-)

MIVEC depending on what you have lying around, will see what we can work out, got any pics of them?

LadyBytes what happens at the museum at nights? I've been on some cruises with some Canberra clubs and they tend to be a little too...out of hand.

a20089, the skidpan on the 11th i'm assuming you are talking about... I'm actually entered in on the Northrop session which is the session in the afternoon from you guys. Might have to come out and watch you all to get psyched up (although i don't need much encouragment), if you want to see me and my subie in action, check out fifthgears promo vid, i'm the one smoking it up in the middle of the track.

Its ok, mate, we dont do out of hand here. No one here is out to prove anything, its rare.

Welcome, pics?

^^^ wot he said... and the Museum is a friendly, well behaved, get together and chat about where/how/why all things Skyline - Oh and I try to sh!t stir where I can, but no hooning. I'm going to try and organise a Friday night cruise and soccer game one of these Fridays once I know we can use the footy fields.

race_snooze - I was after a Series 2 specifically. As well as a completely stock standard one for Skidpan, Motorkhana and hill climb events only.

S04R3R - Was wondering where you were at mate! Congrats on pickin up the skyline soon mate. We both know that we will regret moving on from the RS's as they are awesome cars, but I found more Pro's than Con's with the R33 to not go down the path.

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
