Hiya!

Prolly won't remember me, I posted a few weeks ago looking to buy a GTS (non turbo) Skyline..

Well, the sands have run thru the hourglass and I just picked up a 96 R33 GTST at auction thru Prestige..:D

My dwelling on a non-turbo Skyline lasted about 2 hours..after my bro told me that if I picked up a non-turbo one, I'd probably spend the time I drive it regretting not purchasing the GTST..and he was probably right!

So now I play the waiting game - compliancing!

Oh well, thought I'd tell someone!

Seeya!

Hey, I saw that one. What did ya get it for FOB?

Now comes the waiting................and then you wait some more...............and a little more.............are we there yet?.............on the boat, getting closer every day........

ahhh such fun. Just keep thinking about all the money you are saving over going to a dealer here.

Apparently it didn't sell at auction, but was able to privately bid for it.

Picked it up for 920,000Y FOB - maybe a bit on the high side, but it was a 4.5 rating, low kms, but I like the look of it and the 17" wheels, plus all I really wanted was a skyline with a sunroof..so I don't really mind.

Dunno if you guys also saw the 97 one on the list with sunroof / 18" wheels on the list last nite, it was on auction last week too (passed in at 950,000Y) - I wanted to bid on that again, but missed out. Had more dents and some cracks in it too..

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
