Goodluck finding a rear Skyline garnish. Rare as all f**k. If you do find one, it's probably broken. I'm also assuming you're talking about the LED one? That lights up the word SKYLINE on your boot?

they're not that rare; i'd say i've seen at least five for sale in the last few months in various places. but whether there are any clips (or whatever fastens them to the car) that actually arent broken is probably uncommon.

The illuminating ones look shithouse

My 2c

finding rims in 4 stud is a b***h, stick with the 1's u have and save for a turbo r32, r33, r34, thats what i'm doing =D.

If you really want to have the 'skyline' garnish lit up have a look in the DIY section there are a few walkthroughs on how to make on yourself using S1 garnish, LED's and some paint.

Also WTF 6" tip, mine has a 3inch tip and thats pushing it for a NA.

As for mods possibly look for some coilovers, as nothing u do is going to do much for power, so you might as well try and make it quicker through the corners. I'll have to agree with reducing weight tho, first thing i would do is get rid of HICAS, should save about 30-40kg.

Good job getting rid of the tail lights tho they look crap.

*end rant*

Hi everyone...

Hi. Welcome to SAU.

I just recently purchased a 33 non-turbo..

Good work. Enjoy.

white mostly stock

Fair enough.

it came with the vertex sides and rear..

Mmmm.

eres a few pics of what it looked like when i purchased it

Ok.

i cant complain cuz i got it prety cheap and i had to keep the rents happy by buying a non-turbo before everyone pays me out lol

No worries. I won't.

I hated the look of it so i bought new stock tail lights, s1 stock rear bar, m-spec sides and a 6 inch cannon with 5 inch outlet..

Good decision except the over sized cannon. I imagine it will drone big time.

Insides immaculate cant complain

Sweet.

I just have a few problems and things i wana ask

Shoot.

firstly

what can i do to add more power to it... its just got a pod filter, air meter and strut brace..??

None of the above. Save your money and just learn how to drive it properly first. You can always sell it at a later date and get a turbo when your olds are happy that you have more experience and better skills.

what else do you guys personally think i should add to the exterior to add some more style in it??

Personal choice but have a look at TypeVu's R33. Best non-GTR R33 I've seen. Nice clean lines and tough look without going over-the-top.

i was thinking illuminous skyline garnish but i cant find any around.. would anyone have a clue where to fine them??

I wouldn't bother but Yahoo Japan might be your best bet.

would anyone suggest putting an m-spec front??

Most people here have already so I'll just let you decide.

any suggestions will be accepted

also if anyone interested in buying a vertex side and rear bodykit let me know.. the rear and sides have a few scratched

We have a 'For Sale' thread in SA plus a 'For Sale' board within the forum. Use both of these to sell goods. Clean the items first, take pictures & ask a fair price. Make sure you provide a contact number and list what state you're in on the main board.

and im also selling r33 Chrome tail lights.. which i will add a pic of.. there in mint condition

heres some pics of it after i took of the sides..(I still need to take the rear and tail lights off)...

LOOKING FORWARD TO HEARING WHAT PEOPLE HAVE TO SAY :cool:

A lot of people on SAU are (I'm guessing) a bit older than you and don't have to take the 'rents' views into consideration. People on SAU will tell you exactly what they think with little consideration as to what affect it may have on you... but you did ask for their opinions so I hope that you are not offended by ones that you don't like/agree with. I hope you haven't been shot down too harshly so far.

FWIW the best way to make your car go faster would be to improve your driving skills. This will make every car you drive from now on faster and will save you $, time and maybe one day your life. I would suggest starting with a defensive driving course. Recently we had an Introductory Performance Driving Course held at Mallala. The High Performance course will be held late November. These training days + attending track days will give you a chance to push your car in a safe environment where there is a margin for error. Nothing can replace experience and training.

Mr. Scandy, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Okay, a simple "wrong" would've done just fine.

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, but knowledge of one wire's insulation worn through to short on earth implies the possibility of other wires doing the same. I had my power steering die, because the wire that runs to the solenoid valve on the rack runs in the same loom as the power wire for the O2 sensor. And when the O2 sensor/wire did something stupid and burnt part of that loom to death, the only indication was the shit(ter) fuel economy and the heavy steering. It took deep excavation of the looms in the bay to find the problem. Not wear through in that case, but similar shit.

      Ah, I thought he'd wired it to one of the spare ECU inputs! Too long ago since I read that post, ha ha. I've been arguing with radiators, harmonic balancers, alternators and rust since reading it.

      Correct. The ECU cannot read oil temp. (Well, I think it probably can in some situations. I did have the thought of potentially repinning the ECU when I was doing oil pressure). I am using this into the MPVI dongle, so that the MPVI dongle can read oil temperature. It is attached to a VDO gauge which is obviously calibrated to whatever curve the sender actually is using. This would be easy if I could setup a table of voltage to temperature like many sensors, but it appears I cannot do this and can only setup the transform rule which appears to be Input (voltage) x Multiplier, and add an offset. This to me means it MUST be linear. So it may be a complete waste of time wiring this into the ECU. The idea was that the MPVI3 has standalone logging. I wanted to use this instead of a laptop with serial cable (for wideband) for long datalogs. Given the wideband also has electric interference, I may never trust this either in a world where the serial wideband and the analog output wideband do not agree. Last time I did a trace I could see the two wideband traces follow each other, but one was a little leaner than the other. I plan on playing with voltage offsets and actually driving the thing to see how close they correlate. If they never correlate... then, well, maybe I'll never use either. Ideally I'd like to have the Analog wideband read ever so slightly leaner than the serial one, because the serial one is 'correct'. Tuning the car to be ever so slightly too-rich would be the aim. Not needing to have a laptop flying around in the footwell connected with cables is... an advantage. About the only one from the forced upgrade to MPVI3.

      I don't think he's got it on a gauge and on the ECU. I think he's got it on the gauge and on the HPTuners DAq thingo. Remember, we're talking about oil temp here, not something that the ECU is actually interested in for its own sake.
