Hey all those people from NSW im new to the forum and from NSW, thought this was the right spot to post an introduction. Well yeah im still on my L's at the moment and ive been learning on my older brothers R32 Skyline. Have fallen in love with it and am currently searching for either a R33 Or R32 stock non-turbo for while im on my P's. Although i dont have a cash at the moment im really looking forward to owning my own.

After helping my brother rebuild his RB20 motor over many long nights, i've learnt a lot and am looking for somewhere to learn abit more about my Skylines and more about the RB motor series.

So hopefully i can learn a thing or 2 here :P

Cya guys.

Hey Dude!

Welcome to SAU :P

I'm in the same boat as you but I, just picked up my Skyrine its a N/A R33 RB25DE it's an awsome car, Dont listen to anyone if they give you crap of owning a N/A Skyline...

Justin!

Agreed :). most people who has seen mycar loves my car(N/A R34) :D

Buy an r31 for your first, reliable, got enough go for an early p plater, cheap enough so when you crash it within 6 months it's not the end of the world. Save up for a 33 or 32 for when your off your ps

but that's just my opinion anyway,

welcome to the club, good bunch of people on here

thanks for the warm welcome guys. :)

and sorry star32 couldnt find the right section.

and dont worry juz im not stupid with money and parts. Genuine is the way to go.

and good info SHM17Y. But ive learnt on a 32 Turbo and i absolutely love it. and i love the look of 33 and 32. so i dont think there is much changing my mind but thankyou for the idea. hehehe and plus there are some pritty awesome 31's out there :P

N/A R34 FTW on your P's - goes a little harder then the 33's and 32's *flame jacket on* :bunny:

Welcome man...if you buy a skyline on your p's its the best car to have as a first car...so much fun.. and you learn so much as far as driving is concerned...as long as your not an idiot and rap yourself around a tree or be a hero and lose your licence at every set of traffic lights :D

GL!

rb25 r32 - they are rare but would go better than a r34 neo because of the weight but you'd need to find one in manual - i think most of them are auto.

Thought id jsut update this thread. Ive had a look at many R32's, but not many R33's and one of my wrecker mates managed to get me a RB25 turbo for cheap as. So im gonna drop it in the futuree car. And convert it to a NA. :)

Engine conversions are classed as a Performance Modification, this would be illegal whether it be NA or Turbo. And since the RTA will have the engine number marked as a Turbo also, it's going to cause more problems.

Keep the motor standard and do suspension mods.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
