The guys from the west (Im from Hillside/Sydenham) if u see a guy with funny hair in a blue senator with plates HSVBRO and hes tailgating u or geeing u up at the lights, Im not doing it to be a hero, I just want to see how ur car goes!!! Most Skylines kill me anyways!!

Love the sound of them and went on the first skyline cruise last week and the sight and sound of nearly thrity skylines roarinf thru the tunnel was grouse!!

I always thought Skylines were cheap power ( i know, typical hsv driver) but u guys have introduced me to a whole new world!!

haha, its been good meeting the guys i have met hope to catch up with u's soon!! and hopefully soon you'll see me in a series 2 R33 GTS-T wif plates R33BRO (haha for a laugh) nar jus kidding bout the plates :laughing-smiley-014:

The words 'cheap' and 'Nissan' shouldn't be used in the same sentence.

Welcome to the dark side. :D

Unless you drive a Tiida or a Poosaar, which in that case, you should find a water well and drown yoself...

1. never use the word 'grouse'..... how bout 'sik'? lmao

2. never insult skyline drivers by using 'cheap' and 'nissan' in the same sentence

3. forced induction aint cheap

thanks for the comments guys and i dont think the plates HSVBRO will suit a skyline.... nut then again, u never know... shud be at the cruise for the westys this week and i think i'll have to hitch a ride with a mates skyline, dont wanna ruin the whole 'twenty skylines owning the road' thing u's have got going.... jokes

Technically that is trying to "g" someone up.

I think the other thing here is that BIG power in a skyline normally equates to about 350kw or so these days... Even that is getting mild...

Welcome to the fold bro.

There are ways to get good value for money power. I prefer to build my own engines, the last being a 700hp 3.0L with 26 head that came in for just under $5K in my race car (GTS25t but twin turbo). My GTR does 500hp as a daily driver and I will kick that up to 600hp at the next tune. Parts were 3K for the computer, turbos and injectors. Good handling in a GTR is only $2500 away as well and given a GTR33 can be had for less than 25K that is good value, especially considering the Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini and Audi RS4 I've driven recently all don't compare as an all round performer. That is 1.4Mill worth of comparison and I'd keep the GTR anyday and flog off the others if they were a freebie.

a neighbour of mine already has CYA-57L .now if it was on a skyline,that would be good.

can i ask why your not going for the r34GTT instead of the r33?

hah those plates wud be tuff on a skyline.... i prefer the look of the r33 over the r34... dont know why, just my preference and i probably wont have too much to spend so jus gotta aim reasonably

this probly sound real dumb, but how much different all round is there between an r33 GTST and an R34GTT? the r33GTST are goin for around 13ish, wat wud a r34 GTT be worth?

Technically that is trying to "g" someone up.

im not denying that i am trying to gee them up, just some ppl think im geeing them up coz i want to beat them.... coz im a hero (which im not) lol. and i cant beat them

I bought my GTT for 26k, well I borrowed 10k off the old man.. But you get m'drift...

You can find GTT's for around 20k if you look hard enough, but personally, I wouldn't advise getting anything that is any cheaper... yet..

However I got a 4 door, turbo manual which is a bit rare, if your going a turbo manual coupé, or a turbo auto taxi, then things get a bit cheaper...

Hot 4's are selling their project car on Ebay, it is an absolute steal atm..

    • ..and forum.r31skylineclub has been down all week....anyone know why?
    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?
