Hey there guys im new to the scene, My names Geraus... I just got my skyline R33 Series II 1996 manual im currently from the Northern Suburbs.. The power is amazing,but i think i am having idle problems.. the car is stock as a rock, like when im idle'ing in the traffic.. my engine idles funny..like its going to stall but my rev's arent moving...when doing a funny idle.. or is this normal? because of the heat.

This is my first turbo car, my 1st car was a Honda Prelude 1997 VTi-R,the skyline has much more power...

i have been researching on this fourms quite a while now and the fourm is very good and very helpful from time on i am more happy to contribute a donation to keep this fourm running as the help is very good. I am also willing to come to the SAU cruises and meet some intresting members when there on so i'l keep my heads up.

Here are the picutres of my baby.

Hi Geruas, welcome to skylines australia, i'm sure you'll enjoy your new ride. Looks really nice and clean :)

Exhaust, pod, FMIC will definitely be good mods to start off with :down:

You might want to look at the Tutorials / DIY / FAQ section where you can find really useful information down the road.

You might also want to join up with the SAU VIC club here

;)

welcome. its good that you've actually done research before getting a skyline. much better approach than mine - buying a car when i didnt even know that there were 3 models of 'line lol.

car looks clean. and i rekon the exhaust and cooler are a good place to start.

hehe DNGRUS, i called you last week... LOL i said i was from broady n i wanted to have a look at your car.. but then i found this one :) hehehe. i asked for your address, emsta2003, i will.. at the moment now im just ordering iridium spark plugs... im having a idle issue.

Omg LIAR! lol :D so much for 'coming' on Tuesday!

Hahaa kiddin ya! Nice car, Hope u enjoy it!!

Nice bud and welcome!

Unless you like the induction/sucking noise of the pod i would bother till you're making over 230rwkw. The std airbox, with a good filter will be more than ample.

With your idle best to start with the basics.

Change plugs, gap to 0.8mm.

Maybe even pour a bottle of injector cleaner in the tank, the next time you fill up.

Does it have an aftermarket BOV?

hey and welcome. im still new hear myself and this is the best place to get info on skylines, i researched for about 6 months before i found the right one that i wanted for now. someone that kinda lives near me, well actually kinda near my work. anyway im from sunbury and work at airport west so its not to far away only like 20mins. need any questions answered this forum is definately the way to go.

    • If they can dyno them, get them dyno'd, make sure they're not leaking, and if they look okay on the dyno and are performing relatively well, put them in the car.   If they're leaking oil etc, and you feel so inclined, open them up yourself and see what you can do to fix it. The main thing you're trying to do is replace the parts that perish, like seals. You're not attempting to change the valving. You might even be able to find somewhere that has the Tein parts/rebuild kit if you dig hard.
    • Can you also make sure the invoices on the box (And none exist in the boxes) are below our import duty limits... I jest, there's nothing I need to actually purchase and order in. (Unless you can find me a rear diff carrier, brand new, for stupidly cheap, that is for a Toyota Landcruiser, HZJ105R GXL, 2000 year model...)  
    • Murphy strikes again! Nothing at all would have gone wrong if you had the tool kit in the car! You'd have just found the clamp loose the next time you went to touch it...
    • I have been being VERY quiet about what you're alluding to, as it is something that ticks me off... The number of cars from factory that run coil overs is HUGE! Most of them these days do... The other part that annoys me, is people saying "Well all the incabin adjustable suspension is illegal by blah blah blah"... If that's the case, then why can I buy a car brand new that can do it if, FULL STOP in cabin adjustable suspension is illegal...   Also, I could just chuck some aftermarket shocks in my car, throw the stock springs on, after my blue slip, dump my super low springs back in. Same shock and spring style setup... Hell, they could also be the same colour springs etc.     I'm voting, BlueSlipper didn't want to touch the above car for some reason. Whether it be some sort of bias against the car, the owner, them maybe having previously done dodgy shit and now they're being super careful in case they get slapped in the face by the Gumbyment again... Find a new blueslip place.   And can confirm as you had said, yes there are holy bibles of vehicle heights, and all sorts of other suspension stuff. Heck your run of the mill mechanic, and tyre shop has access to all of that stuff. It's how they do wheel alignments...
    • Funny story Heading to Sydney this morning on the HWY there was some slow traffic, so I gave it the beans and midway through my overtaking "power run" I lost all power It seems that I missed a hose clamp,  and the MAF and filter went WiFi To make this more problematic, the little tool kit that lives in the boot, is sitting in the sun room at Goulburn......LOL Luckily for me I found a bit of steel on the side of the road that could be used like a rusty and bent flat head screw driver to tighten it up enough that it got me into Sydney, it is now all tight like a tiger with the aid of a 8mm socket Note to self: Use my brain and double check stuff, and always keep that little tool kit in the car for when I have a brain fart
