hey guys,

first post, new user

i currently own a wrx, had it for about 4 years or so, love it, but time to move on, and from what i have seen on the internet, i could sell my 99 rex and pick up a 97 skyline probally without spending any more cash, so that would be cool, was suprised to find out insurance is about the same price, so thats good too

just wondering, as a potential first skyline owner, should there be anything to look for specifically? like in general ( bit vague i know )

only difference i know really between the rex and the r33 is rear wheel drive, 2.5 ltr 6 cyl.

i dont care if its faster or slower than a rex, but im sure a skyline is beast off the mark

many thanks

welcome to the forum champ

if anything the skyline would be slower off the mark and gain in the top end compared to the rexy.

some wankers on here would probably say "doooooooooo a search"

here is a sticky thread on everything you'll need to know to look out for

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/bu...e-f-t35129.html

good luck

hey thanks eeiko, i did a bit of a search but didnt find much, thanks for the link

lol and as long as it would beat a maloo or clubby like my mates have im not too worried ;)

haha thanks again mate, cheers

all good

thats what i was trying to point to some idiots on this forum who just say "do a search do a search do a search do a search do a search "

sometimes links dont even show up in the search.

anyhow that link is very good guide.

any other questions, let us know.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
