Hi I am looking to get an idea of how many skyline owners there are in the northern suburbs and to get some ideas of what mods and other additions i could be adding to my R-33 and to get to know some of the lads and ladies driving these machines. so if your interested in saying g'day and showing off your ride drop me a reply.

Regards

I live northside, North Lakes to be precise. I used to have a 33 with a few mods but our current 33 is pretty much rock stock, just exhaust and some window tint really, lol. It's a red (not wine red) S2 R33 with SMR33 on the plates, wave if you see us :)

Will do I'm in north lakes nearly every other weekend

g'day mate. i live in moreton downs deception bay and own a white R32 4 door and me wife has a blue R33 4 door. my currently of the road as i'm once again changing set ups. should be back on the road soon. me number plate is 116.hks. hope to see u on the road soon. cheers

Good to see so many skyline owners in the area. Mine is a charcoal R33 (note there is no dash this time) num plate 635KTX I am looking to fit a boost gauge and a boost controler in the next week or so. If anyone in the area has the know how to install these items drop me a line as i would like to learn about this as the R33 is my first turbo'd car and a few beers in exchange for the knowledge never goes astray. thanks guys

yeah mate send us pm when you're looking to do it and i'll check if i'm available to help. just depends on work thats all. cheers mate

Thanks will do i brought a manual boost controller due to the fact money is getting tight in order to afford my R33 (damn insurance and loan repayments cripple a mans beer fund) and the gauge is a new one as well i think it is no name brand though. next step after that is the intercooler.

cheers guys

Was looking into options on what i should do in terms of mods for it both performance and to up the sexy factor of it. any ideas guys drop me a reply. I currnetly have a 400R front bumper stock side skirts and the rear pods I also have the apexi jasma exhaust system fitted and some decent mags.

Hey there, I live west of caboolture and work at strathpine JB hifi so im frequently on the highway. im in a Black 4 door R32 plates NSS13 (from my old S13 silvia)

Since you already have an exhaust and boost controller and gauge i would get a nice front mount intercooler to make the most of your extra boost but im no expert lol.

Hope to see you around :cool:

yeah i've seen ya on the highway before epyon at least i think it was you. the intercooler is what i will be doing once my pay grade goes up. perhaps we should organize a northside meet and greet seems to be a few of us around. I know car audio and computers but bugger all about the other aspects of it I'd say we have a decent knowledge base if we put our heads together.

Who else would be up for a meet and greet? so far Dantay and myself are interested perhaps we could do a northside cruise go from morayfield down through d'bay / redcliffe (only if there are members there) then down to northlakes. if someone has an idea for a cruze let me know as i think it would be a good idea.

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
