mate thats one tidy car, nice buy mate, hows it feel to drive and own a skyline :woot:

soooo much better then the mx-5 i drove for 3 and a half years before it :D

nah i cant knock the little bugger, was such a fun car to drive (all handling/suspension mods).. just, it had the torque of a $29 battery drill. still i loved the go kart feel of it, and being able to smash it through corners at twice the speed limit.

needless to say, after getting the skyline to look how i want it to, the first purchase will be coilovers!

hey man, ahhh yer lol guess the weight on the mx-5 would have made it a nible car and nice around corners, but hey like you said the r33 has much more torque and will be fun to once you make it how you like :banana: ahh, yer good choice with the collies man.. enjoy the car

haha so true bubba so true!

Here's an example.. my turbo upgrade (high mount GT35R, foward facing plenum, GTR cooler/piping/bov's), blew out with a High Energy sump and head off to put oil restrictors in. On the weekend we decided that because the engine is coming out and will be mostly apart.. might aswell throw some spool rods, longnose crank snout and ATI balancer and get it all balanced.. NEVER ENDING SAGA :D

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?
    • Summernats cruiser?
    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
