G'day all!

I've recently brought a slightly done up R33 GTST T25 . 95 skyline and absoloutly loving it! Only thing is, is i don't know exactly what's been done to it and want to know. I know it's got a bit of turbo work and a nice big HKS front mount and Plazmaman piping and a new heavy duty clutch... but he didn't have papers for any of it. I know that's suss and all but i couldn't resist buying it.

Anyway, i just want to know a bit more of what i've got and what i'm running. I'm a bit down on knowledge for cars these days so any imput or comments would be great.

Cosmeticly she needs a tad of tlc but i will get to that in due time... when i've got money haha.

Hey man im a similar situation as I have just bought an R34 GTT and the dude i bought it off told me hes had the turbo high flowed but im not sure how i tell if its really done, other than pulling the thing apart which im not experienced enough to do :D

Yeah i'm only on my L's at the moment. Had a bit of troubles being able to go for my licence. I can go for my p's now but why do that when i wouldn't be able to drive my baby? I'll just stick with my L's for the moment. Until i can take out the turbo i guess.

hahaha, this is fkn funny. Sorry dude to laugh at your expense but who goes and buys a turbo car and then thinks they can take the turbo off and vic roads will go "arrh ok well if you have taken the turbo off i suppose it's all good, just make sure you don't put that nasty turbo back on again!"

Thanks Joshington that was one of the best laughs I've had in a while. Hope you get it all sorted.

Just FYI as well Joshington, there was at least one other thread started recently about the same thing, basically the car's build plate will say that it is a turbo, and that in VicRoad's eyes means that you can't drive it, even if you happen to take the turbo off. (not to mention it's an incredibly daft thing to do lol)

yeah sounds like he jumped the gun....... couldnt wait

the best thing is to sell the damn thing....... go through all the P's....

and then buy something better in the end

you wont regret it in the end

That gave me a good laugh!

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
