Hello From Charlotte, Nc Usa - 94 R33 Gtst

Recommended Posts

G'Day! I've been a reader of this forum for a few years now; since I lived in Japan. I now have a 94 R33GTSt in the US. I'm on the East Coast, where there are "maybe" 10 Skylines total. I have been tracking the car only as it isn't street legal at this point. Would like to know what some of your guys are doing to make your "street" cars even more powerful and handle better on the tracks.

Please steer me in the right direction.

Thanks...

welcome. nice car man. you certainly take care of your paint. looks good. i rekon most of the forced induction sectio is gonna be useful to u atm because a lot of us are in fact tracking our streeters. if you are looking for better times, then mebbe look at cooling, brakes and modding ur suspension a bit more.

Thanks. Mequires Gold Class - the only polish I use; it is awesome. I'll check out the other areas you recommended; there is just so much info on this forum; where does one start?! I'll be reading for a while.

I'm getting a new set of KSport RR Dampers/Coilovers tomorrow. Can't wait to see how they do.

I have my OEMs off...does the car require realignment? Doesn't appear that it will need that. I like the setup that these monsters use. You can change coilovers out "trackside" in about 40 minutes (total)...

Thanks...

BIG TURBO never hurts lol just killer lag. get some good brake pads, give it easy breathing with fresh air panel/pod filter, full exhaust system, suspension, electronic controllers etc will also enhance performance. im not sure the prices in the US though so some things might actually work out to be piss cheap for you to purchase from australia or even japan

    • Came across these Ganador reps and am wondering if anyone has used these/come across these ?  Seem to look like reasonably good replicas (shape wise) from what I can see. Ive been told by them that they are moulded to be exact copies of original Ganadors (but thats what every replica version will say) https://www.shiftperformance.com.au/ganador-style-mirrors-suits-nissan-skyline-r33-gtr Photos of them installed appreciated Thanks 👍
    • lol, yeah, and how gutted I am now I’m back over in Europe (actual Europe) and dealing with the nightmare of U.K.-Continental Europe bureaucracy.   Anyway, arrived in NL early January with the BMW, whilst the Skyline followed suit about a week later. Both cars ended up stuck with their relative importers for about six weeks. Since then, I made a trip to the Nurburgring with a friend and have since ditched the Skyline in the garage. This week, I finally managed to find a suitable shop to do an alignment so hopped on over to Germany to fix the miserable mess the local Netherlands shop conducted; the car was just not aggressive enough in the rear for my driving style - I found myself understeering a fair bit at the ring which was really a first for me with this car. Mis-matched F&R tyres can be held partly responsible - have now moved to F+R NS2Rs. One thing I’ve noticed is the 180kph limiter just does not cut it here. I quickly hit that (for the first time) in Germany on the autobahn. Japanese circuits are small - at least the ones that were near me. I rarely spent much time in 4th. After much deliberation with the HKS SLD, I have ordered Nistune from Matt. Whilst the Skyline has been gathering dust I got to learning the highly neglected BMW I bought in the U.K. was in fact just that, highly neglected. Took the ol’ dog down to Switzerland last weekend with a progressively deteriorating front end. It went from vibration during braking at highway speed on the way down, to vibrating non-stop on the way back. I’ve already fixed numerous engine issues - low oil pressure, f**ked injectors, incorrect coils and plugs, electric water pump. Still to do is a suspension and brake overhaul, rear subframe replacement and likely more ageing engine electrical components. But I must say, I love it. After so long with the Skyline, I really didn’t know cars could be so comfortable.    
    • Thanks. I adjusted my soft cut to 7600rpm and if I see I'm still making power there, I'll consider readjusting to possibly 7800rpm while on the dyno. 
    • Yeah not sure. I sourced another relay no problem, its definitely a relay according to Nissan parts, they used those specific relays on a bunch if cars around that time, but my two options are, find a behind dash wiring loom which is proving difficult, or get the current loom fixed up by the shop when they put my rebuilt engine back in, they are confident in their auto electrical abilities. Thing is my current loom has anti-theft stuff and GPS immobilisers wired into it so easiest option may be to just fix the current one to save ripping apart the immobiliser. 
    • Took it apart to get to the bearing found out i was wrong the bearing was pressed on to the diff side and the part i removed only had the bearing side, checked the bearing all looked fine took the shaft end to a shop and they recon it was movement from back and forth that made the marks and not rumbling about, so i just changed the seal and put it all back again.
