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)

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!

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
