I got excited opening this thread and then saw the above riced up, insulting piece of ****.

No wonder so many people hate the R33's because so many are done up to look disgustingly embarrassing like that one.

Id want to be paid a very high wage to be seen driving that, even with a mask on.

Harsh but accurate :D

Sorry , but to me that's the worst R33 I've seen and from 20 odd posters here I've yet to see any positive comments.

If Skyline enthusiasts don't like it what does that tell you.

Be fully sick in an episode of Pizza though

Gee picked at random what about this and save yourself $5k ?

That first one is dam good value.

why not get one a year older and save 4 grand? spend that 4 grand on something else? rego, insurance, turbo?

i payed 10 for my s1.5 with 70k kays

You mean a year newer not older, also the k's dont mean shit, most have been wound back before they leave japan.

i think I threw up a little in my mouth, and the alarming thing is, it might actually resemble the interior of that car.

gay wheels.

gay fitment.

gay cheap leather or most possibly pleather interior.

gay chrome boost gauge bolted to dash.

bad paint matching on the sideskirts.

truck indicators on front bumper instead of proper R33 ones.

you need to get out more if you think that's the best looking 33 lol.

1994 R33's GTSt's aren't worth a dime over 9 or 10 grand, unless they're putting out over 250kw and don't look like a fully sick habib just molested it.

+1. Pretty much summed it up perfectly.

You'd also be surprised also how many people do hand over wads of cash in the $10-20K region!

I'm just surprised no ones mentioned Hot4s yet :P This is usually the way.

or calaisturbo lol

I like to put a trust in the fact that Nissan knew what they were doing when designing it...aesthetics wise.

cant say i like it... remove the bodykit, wheels, and most of all the interior... and youd have a decent r33.

if you're new to skylines then here's the thing, have a look around this site, especially at the motorsport thread.. check out mark and russ's r34 and their r32, and merli's r32 build, you can check out fatz gtr thread, but being 17... it may scare you... heck, it scares me.... also check out My Restoration by Godzilla32... these guys, like many on here, represent what skylines are about better than anyone.. the highs, the lows, and the comradery of owning a skyline, and setting them up to do what they do best.

you'll soon find (as you have in this thread already) that many people on here think skylines are degraded by dodgy interiors, bodykits and crappy wheels... if you wana do that crap... get a supra... skylines are meant to be built and driven... stone chips and all... if it aint broke or it has no purpose or function, dont touch it.

cheers and good luck

Linton

    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
    • Sorry I meant that we are building the EH for a client.
