always come armed with part numbers when you goto autobarn.. that's what i've learnt anyway.

and if you've got an 11/98 onwards r34... ask em what oil filter you need.. they'll almost always try to sell you a Z145a, and won't believe you that you need a filter from a nissan micra (z442).. i've had that conversation about three times with them now.

If you are after suspension for a skyline its hard to go past the Group buy set up bt Sydneykid.

Whiteline suspension components and Bilstein shock absorbers

15% discount off recommended retail and free freight if the individual order is over $500. Plus if you spend $1,000 or more you get an additional 5% discount.

EDIT: this link is for the Gts-t - are the 32 and 33 GTR's the same suspension?

It would be worth PMing Sydneykid for a suspension setup (if there isnt one already) as you will get good advice from someone with lots of experience both on the road and on the track.

It's not suspension but my mate bought some speakers from autobahn for his 04 WRX and he told the chick what speakers he needed but she assured him that he needed different ones. They were top of the line Alpine's i think and when he got em home, guess what, they didn't fit! He took em back and explained that she was wrong and stuff and then she was like "Oh, you meant for a 04 WRX, I thought you said a 98 WRX". THICK AS! The ones he needed were a different price and he refused to pay that price because she stuffed up, the ones he needed weren't on special like the other ones. She was like but I'll get in trouble with my manager and my mate was like well you should have done your job right the first time and we wouldn't have had this problem, DUH! So, he ended up getting top of the range Alpine speakers that were meant to be close to $300 for under $100, haha suckers! Good luck with your suspension though mate, hopefully you know not to use them next time.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?

      Intro/R33 owner

      By f00stx · Posted

      Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).

      Second time Skyline owner (R33 GTS-T and now a V36 370GT)

      Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).

      Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.
