Browsing the forum this morning I noticed a thread which asked "What would you do to your skyline?". So I'm asking you, all money aside, what would you do to your current car?

Crazy engine conversions? wide body? custom made rims?

Personaly with my GTS-t I'd do a 2jz conversion or maybe a 20b rotary for something different. Twin setup for response. Spray it matte black or similar, black 19" TE37, stock kit. Make it real sleeper.

What would you do?

id keep it AND buy a 35 gtr. nah i'd go drift spec, Vertex kit with wheels that hang wider than the kit, drift lip, drop in a rb28dett with forged internals, couple of responsive turbo's.

i would replace everything with brand new items (like seals and interior things and all that)

chuck a worked off its tits RB30DETT in. Respray me car black with a dark green pearl and chuck some 19" black Nismo LMGT4's on it :(

and now i just woke up and reality just kicked in :)

LOL I kind of already did it.....

If i could go back i would have gone rb26 instead of spending what i have on the rb20! Apart from that i did what i wanted to do!

^^

GRIM is the r32 that has everything done to it, very very nice...

You dont see many "off tap" RB20s around tho ben. its a killa ride :(

and kind of already doing it again with the 260 :(

I would.... completely respray the car inside out - same factory colour, retrim the interior - black leather with red stitching, 18" wheels - nismo LMGT4, every suspension component replaced with new or aftermarket parts and slightly lowered, and work the motor up realllllllll good. Eventually I'll do it all :(

Cheers Joel, im rather proud of my work on it, i will miss it when i eventually sell it! And no i wouldnt say theres too many 32's with that extent of work to it in SA!

and kind of already doing it again with the 260 :)

Yeah i kind of have gotten a little carried away there havent i Damo! lol! Just wait for the next project that will come when GRIM goes! ;)

I'd love to fully strip and restore the 33 piece by piece; engine, body, and running gear...

Throw in aftermarket & forged goodies, but keep it stealth/factory looking as possible...

If only i had the time and patience to begin with! (money aside)

So you found a thread and decided to start another exactly the same????? ok..

with my current 33 I'd just do the normal get it back to perfect condition interior and exterior with only a few personallised bits and pieces..

The fun starts when I buy my 2nd 33....

Make a ute out of it like in my sig!!!!

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
