Good Day Skylines Australia,

My name is Sahin (translated to Falcon, no joke!). I live on the Northside of Brisbane where i manage the family business, which of course is a Smash Repairs and Mechanical workshop.

I drive a Nissan R33 Skyline which has been in the family for the last 9 years and am currently on my Green P Plates.

I really enjoy drifting! Please check my latest video on Youtube :)

Couple of upgrades had to be made! This vehicle is running a 4 speed AUTO gearbox which will be up for sale soon.

2.5" sports exhaust

Limited Slip Diff (out of a r32 GTT)

Lower Profile KYB Shocks and King Springs

-working on manual conversion...quite expensive

Retrimmed Steering Wheel (black leather with red stitching)

Stock Dash/Surround resprayed to a nice red.

Kenwood Double Din head unit and Fusion 12"sub & amp Pack.

My plans for the car is basically to have it running at full potential until i get off my P Plates.

-Manual Conversion is my next project

-I wouldnt mind getting the front seats re-apolstered Black with red stitching

-Much later in future will be to convert to 5 stud hubs and wheels. Upgrade the brakes to GTR Brakes

The video was taken at Queensland Raceway and if u have the right gear you can jump on the dry track. Which i cant wait to try when i go manual.

yeah you had pretty good control in that skidpan, especially for an auto.

looking real clean though, i dont see many 4drs that look nice but this is certainly an exception. thought about getting some nicer wheels?

good to keep the family tradition going :rofl:

I don't mind the wheels that i have at the moment but i DEFINITLY have thought of getting bigger wheels.The ones that i want are all 5 stud...so unless i run into a nice 4 stud set that i like, im just going to wait till i can afford to convert mine to 5 studs.

My mum used to drive this r33 before i took over, she now drives a R34 4d auto non-turbo.

Dads got a 06' Gto Monaro sitting in the garage and a 93' 180sx that my younger brother gets to drive as he is still on his Learners.

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
