Hi All!

I just joined the fourms today, and am hoping you guys will be a lot of help over the years :P

I've currently got an Integra 05 Type S, which I'm looking to sell and purchase an R33 very shortly :(

So I've done a lot of research already into the GTS-T and I'm hoping to score a mint condition M-Spec for good price.

Anyways, that's all for now, will be in touch once I have my R33! :(

P.S.

Link to photo of my Type S for anyone that's interested.

Welcome! Though, i have to ask; why are you planning to swap to the skyline? I ask because i had an 03 Type R, and am currently driving an R33 GTS-T. Granted, it may be taking me a little while to get used to a RWD turbo 6, which is without a doubt a quicker car, but it seems to me that the integra was a more enjoyable drive.

The handling was awsome, and i could depend on it absolutely in the wet. In the skyline, i have to drive like a granny when it rains unless i'm going all tokyo drift style in central bankstown... a sure way to get someones attention :P

Don't get me wrong, i love my skyline, but I can't keep from regretting selling the type r.

True, I love my Type S, but have since got a urge to experience turbo. I've never had a turbo! :P Vtec is fun... But whilst young (just turned 25 in June) I want to enjoy a fast car.

Reason for selling #2 Financial wise... I'm going overseas mid next year, and can sell my car for a very good price due to the condition of it.... After I sell my car, I'm looking to buy a Skyline for about 10-13grand and keep the rest of the money for my holiday o/s next year.

So if I can find a Skyline (R33) with basic mods for that price I'm happy since I won't be modifying it for another year+

Ah, financial reasons... that's why I ended up selling the teg :) If you keep looking around, you should find a decent example of a skyline. I was looking for a few months, including soarers, until i found a skyline in really good condition with low k's.

Most of the skylines around were in pretty bad condition. Either the engine had been thrashed and not maintained, or the interior was filthy, or the car had body damage :)

I ended up paying a couple of grand extra for a practically stock model in perfect condition, glad i did, except now with some mods thrown in, the car will end up costing me more than a skyline should... but hey, that's how it goes... :thumbsup:

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
