Hey all

Been very depressed and sad because my R32 was written off, but good thing about it i get to get a new car, i tell u what happen nows, well i was comeing back from maccas for lunch brake from Pre app and it rained abit enough for road to be wet , as i went into the service road traveling down, all of a sudden this cement mixer with out even looking which i sore from the window he wasn't cut infront of me and i slammed on my brakes lock them and slided right into the truck and hit his side, the car didint seem to be allot of damage but it was enough to be written off, so now im looking for another car, and of course its gotta be a skyline, just needed some help decideing. im looking at this R33 in good condition which im going to test drive it monday its got enough mods to be happy with and it has 205kw rw which is fast enough. but friend telling me to get another R32 gtr. im buying my 32 gtst back because gotta fix it and sell it off. but havening trouble to decide what to do just wondering anyone here can help a fellow skyline driver out. and of course if anyone selling there skyline i like to come see it and test it out.

thanks

bruno

Jeeezuz some damn trukies are sooooo reckless; they think they have the right of way.

Id probably go for an r32 gtr if you have enough extra cash but if your worried about maintenance then the r33 gtst is the safer bet.

For some reason you probably wont be happy with the heavier rb25 r33; Ive driven a few and they just dont do it for me anymore after an rb26dett.

It all depends how much money you have, if you can a 32gtr would be good, if you want a 33 then you could pick up a standard 33 gtr for very low 20's some times high teens.

With skylines there is no gaurentee what they will be worth in the long, there value is dropping real quick.

Your best bet is to buy something that you really like and want to keep, you cant put a price on the amount fun you will have in a car you really like as opposed to something that you hate but is only there to get you from A-B.

At the end of the day it all comes down to what you want, i hear a lot of people saying the dont like 33's for one reason or another but it is always based on there personal preference, at the end of the day your the one paying for it so go with what you like.

I would say the R33 GTSt is the best choice, in terms of balance between purchase price, cost of

maintenance and performance. That is the reason why they are so common. Great car and bang for buck.

Ofcourse, an R32 GTR would be a good choice as well, if you can afford the maintenance and have extra cash for when stuff breaks......

I told my friends who say to get a 32 gtr i don't have much cash, even tho i get insurance money and get my other car back and fix and sell it i still wouldn't have enough money to maintain it, had another friend tell me he can get one gtr imported for me cheap on the road comply as well, but dunno what kind of condition it will be in i might have to spend more money on it. but yea my decision anyway i said lolz.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics

      @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?

      Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
