I'm bagging R33's in particular, they don't really have anything going for them other than the RB25 imo, you can't even give one away pretty much these days!

I do drive a Skyline and love it, that doesn't have to mean I've got to like every single model, you'd also find I'm not the only person who dislikes them on this forum.

Do u mean RB26?

Unlike the ultra rare and and super sexy r32 gtst :)

Lmao at the elitist r32 drivers.

Each to their own if you prefer the 80's looks of the r32 over the more modern car.. furry muff good for you!

the 80's soarer is 80's lookin... square box

r32 is far from a box and is a 90's lookin car just like the r33.. just the r33's are fatter (which can be a good thing)

performance wise, r33 owns r32, but everyones got one.. there are alot more r33s than r32s and thats just life.

who cares

KE70's thou.... those fkn things rock! lol

R33s r poo and just as the dude said, common as dog shit.

Eh? Do you simply not like them because they're common? If that's the whole reason you dislike them then you probably shouldn't be driving a Skyline at all, it's not as though the 32's are rare or anything. Besides, it all depends where you live. I'm on the Mornington Peninsula and drive at least an hour a day, and I'm lucky if I see two all week.

IMO they're the best looking of the three, especially the GTR.

Why bother with the insults in the first place if you don't care?

Designed in the 80's, built in the 80's and for me it looks from the 80's with it's typical "3 box design" roll down bonnet like most other cars from the mid to late 80's, interior, ect, ect..

If you like the r32 good on you, It's my favourite 80's style car even if they're starting to look dated ...

Saying r33's are POO in this forum...Disrespectful? Just agitating shit for giggles?

Back on topic I hate those turbo diesel 4x4 with bonnet scoops or mini letter boxes, I know most have a little i.c hiding underneath but they just look so "wannabe" to me.

KE70's thou.... those fkn things rock! lol

Whoo!! :woot:

True 80s styling in the KE70s. Looks like it was designed with a ruler being the only tool!

I hate cars who have exhausts that sound like the car's farting.

    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
