Finally Got It :)

[dovla]

hey guys!

Yea i finally got my hands on my very first skyline! I was looking for series 2 at the beginning but ended up buying series 1.

So far I'm loving it, makes a great noise and goes reasonable enough for now. It's not as much modified as some other skylines around but does the job for now.

Full 3" Jasma exhaust

Hybrid frount mount

HKS pod

Turbosmart dual stage boost controller

JE Design 3 piece wheels 18x10 at the back

Upgraded struts and lowered

A really dark TINT!

Also just bought GTR style grill and will be looking into series 2 front bar

Let me know what you guys think, or wave when you see me around the city

Also whats the legal height for an R33 ??

cheers

not a bad looking ride mate, love the wheels

[BLK33T]

nice car bro congrats

only thing I don't like is the front bar

would look much better with a modified 95 m-spec front bar

ohh and lowest legal ride height in NSW is 100mm ground clearance at the lowest point on the car ...

so if your exhaust is the lowest point on your car it has to be at least 100mm of the ground to be legal

it seems to be sitting at a nice height now I wouldn't go to much lower than what it is now

hope this helps

welcome to the skyline fraternity !!!

ohh and if you want to go SII front bar you will have to get the lights, front guards and bonnet to make it all line up properly cause SII lights are slimmer and squarer in finish than SI (someone correct me if I'm wrong)

hope that helps

[dovla]

Thanks guys!

BLK33T - yup i dont like the front bar too, i will be changing that soon!

I'm not looking to lower the it, just want to know how much it has been lowered

[Luciano]

looks like a nice clean car mate, congrats!

[4door_Sleeper]

I dont think you need guards, but u do need a bonnet, lights and grill.

You can by series 2 sytle bars for the series 1, so just look for an afrermarket to suit a series 1.

looks nice and clean bud, rims arnt to bad either. Definetly look into the SII lights though they look alot better.

Congratz on the purchase!

[joeleo87]

gratz!

Min legal eyebrow height for R32 and R33 turbo models is 360 mm from centre of wheel to guard (in SA).

Almost every skyline on the road would be too low - that is really quite high.

Looking at yours I'd say it would be under that.

congrats on the buy mate....car looks in good condition....but if you were going to get a different front bar i would just go for an aftermarket kit....as changing you lights, hood and the lot will be expensive and you will look like a SII tryhard....just go with an aftermarket kit all around....it will look a lot better with SI lights and all....

Hey chops......I got my R34 GTR through inspection last week and spoke to Paul from Vehicle Standards at Regency 1300 882 248 first to find out the minimum heights.

He said that the R34 Turbos were 340 Front & 345 Rear.......Non turbos might be different.

Rang him again 10 minutes ago and asked him about R32 & R33.......he said 345 Front & 355 Rear.......again, Non turbos might be different because he couldn't find a listing for GTR's but wanted to know if it was Turbo or not.

So now it begs the question, are ride heights for single turbos different to twin turbos?.....who knows how these guys operate.......probably varies with each inspector and how he translates the rules.

Nice car, i love the wheels generally im not a fan of wheels of that style, but they look really good on your car. Also good choice with getting the S1 i prefer them over the 2's

[4door_Sleeper]

if you really do want to spend $ on gards, bonnet lights etc. just get an R34 front end.

[andz]

car looks tough

leave it as it is

if you want to spend money, spend it on go fast bits

[dovla]

Thanks again for the replies

I don't mind the front bar too much but just makes the car look a bit dull!

Also just bought the gtr style grill so hopefully that will make slight difference

No mods will be done at this stage, as the car goes enough as it is (on high boost tho! )

cheers

My info is from the 11/2004 version of the document - there may be a more current version but I can't find one.

The info you got agrees with the info in the document for R34 GTRs, and the info he gave you on R32s and R33s seems to be for non turbo models.

I've attached a copy here for all to see.
