Hey all, i only recently joined Skylines Australia, but have been a long time fan of the Skyline

I was and still am a member of silviansw, even tho i live in QLD :P but it taught me alot and started inspiring me to learn more and more about all good imports and their mechanics and specifications.

After nearly buying a 92' 180sx for $14,000, i thought ide never find the car i was looking for.. so i kept saving.. untill my budget increased to just over $19,000 max.

Did insanely hard - insane pay work for a few months, mainly landscaping to get my funds up. Once i had enough i relised im totally out of the 'entry level' sports car range and have moved onto the more serious performance cars :(

I automatically had a prefrence.. R33 Skyline, turbo ofcourse ;)

R32 have the straight to the point 'im a gun' racing shape, but logic is that the older the car, and especially i turbo skyline, the more things can and will go wrong. Not to mention once this new 15year import law thingy comes in the R32 range will substancially loose value and easier to obtain :P

R34- Too Expensive.

R33- :( Just what i wanted and just what i got.

On saturday i bought 1994 R33 GTS-T for $19,000

Her features: ;)

-High Flowed turbo

-3" turbo back Jasman/Jasmine exhaust

-Auto Meter boost guage

-Programmable Turbo Timer

-Tein Coil over type NR, Super street damper, Gas filled

-18" Nismo Mags :(

-Rare-ish drift spec rear spoiler

-Turbosmart boost controller.. bleed valve

-Full 400R body kit

-Sony Xplod head unit top of the range

-Nankang (dont know spelling) low profile semi-slicks

-Interior virtually perfect, except for steering wheel etc

-Personalised plates.. this i love... NVY33 !!!! :(

-Original and i mean ORIGINAL R33 GTR Mats.. all round.

-Viper complete alarm system :(

Thats bout all i can think about rite now, and there is more, but it was very well priced, car easily worth mid 20s, thanks to G. for letting this baby go to me, couldnt have got better anywhere else.

Is on 99,500km now, got her on saturday.

So FULL 100,000 service is coming up in the next few days, I live in Brisbane, Carindale basically. Can anyone help me out as to where they had their 100thou service done in brisbane, how it went and how much. (Including Timing belt in this service)

Thanks ppl, look forward to joining cruises and getting in their for some input into the forums

cheers!

(I just took it to an above ground lit carpark 2nite after cleaning it to take some photos, most are too big tho so will put in upload folder)

I took some REALLY NICE pics 2nite, big resolution, above ground carpark not to mention i cleaned her rite before

problem is most of them are 200-250kb, anyone know where i can post them? cause they are really show-quality shots

ok, few things ive noticed in the car in the 2 days ive had it..

i found a cord under drivers seat, have no idea what it is, or is for.. Ive added a pic to help, my GTSt is a series 1 too

Japanese on the side is 'Hayabusa' fastest production moterbike in the world i think it is, guy loved em, not hard to see why :P

I really need to get this carpark shots up, it shows the true beauty of this baby. There is no skyline anywhere around my that looks anywhere near this. Millions with GTR wing and kit, or stock, this has a distinct look.

So no one knows what that cord under the seat is ?

Yeah ill probably be taking her to Gavin, can someone give me number and address details/website?

And also did you stay and watch while they did the 100thou service, because ide like to, just to make sure they do all the little things.. that can turn into big things if not done.

Out of the 30 shots i took, this is the only one so far that ive resized and is small enough in KB to be uploaded (SA needs a 300kb max upload)

I havent had a 100k service done... he put a new engine in my car (only took him a day) but i didnt stay and watch. Im sure they get people asking all the time - and probably wouldnt mind tooo much as long as u keep out of the way... remember tho, they are running a business, and it might not always be safe / practical to have someone looking over their shoulder.

Sweet ride dude, the wiring under your seat is for a seatbelt warning light system that is redundant when modified during compliance, just tuck it up out of the way. And those rims are yummy, so no gutter dorifto for you!

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
