My New Car!

[knore]

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 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

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)

[G0DF4Th3R]

JASMINE sounds ermm...hehe

[3R1K]

wah wanna trade with nismo 17"

Wah that's cheap with those mods u know

[3R1K]

Wah brisbane , is it cheaper there?

Congratulations btw

[b0neR]

very very nice, any idea what the character(s) mean?

[knore]

hehe no trade

still getting the feel for her. she purrs like a tiger there i go again getting mesmerised in my car

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

Oh by the way, the pic is upside down

[knore]

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

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.

make them smaller damn you and post em up!!!

[dAVE]

Mate - nice ride!

If your after a good mechanic in QLD, have a look in the QLD forum under the "Gavin Woods Autotech" thread. Hes a bit of a drive, but worth it!

[Kutter]

i think i spotted an aftermarket oil cooler too.....nice

[dAVE]

Kutter - could be, unless its an auto and skylines have gearbox oil cooler :s

[knore]

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)

[knore]

Oh yeh anyone seen this before on an R33 - its an option upon purchase in japan..

Nissan issued.. wire mesh type thing for the back windscreen

ive never seen it before on any skyline

[coco69]

sweet ride!

[2fardown]

Is it auto?

[dAVE]

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.

[AutoTrust]

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!

[Guest INASNT]

nice ride.

U r missing the rear 400r bar tho from that kit, i know coz i got the same kit, same drift wing but the rear bar 2.

Also dont think you would have a high flowed turbo coz you still have the stock cooler in place 2 dont ya?

[MM2death]

Very nice. Maybe try cropping your pics to keep the quality of them high.
