Hai Guise,

I'm Troy McClure, you might remember me from such films as Mark Webber Attacks 'nanny State', I Have a Yellow Fever from Wasteland or the award winning title Things That Make You LULWUT..

I have a custom Red R33 GTST sitting on my front lawn for the past 4 years and i have been contemplating on putting this thing back on the road but just couldn't seem to have have any time on my hand as i've been quite busy and had a handful of other things going on in my life. Ive decided to take a more relaxed approach in regards to work this season by having the weekends from my self this summer time.

I've got quite a looker of a R33 i must say. It's quite unique in its own way with the cosmetic mods i have done to it and its colour just stands out from the crowd.

It has the original s3 GTR projector/xenon head lights. Full gtr kit. Black large gtr front lip. Black gtr wing with red spoiler arches. BA XR8 bonnet bulge (it looks quite aggressive) and BA XR8 18" wheels that just sit in line with the wheel arches, giving it a tough look from the back.

Mechanically the only thing i have done to it is fit a thick stainless steel radiator. Didnt have time to complete what i had planned for this baby.

Now the question is, is it worth putting this gtr wanna be little red ferrari back on the road? Do you karnts go for cruises like you used to back in the hey days or is the crowd just disintegrated? What are the cruising scene now days? Are there much hassles from cops nowadays? Would i be pulled over even though i have no illegal mods coz frankly cbf with dealing with these punks..

surprise. you have a skyline!?!?!?!?

so far, i've never been purposefully targetted, but that's prolly because i don't drive like a dick, (i look around before putting my foot down)

so i say, by all means if you've got the time.

Mother of God... i just skimmed through Just Cars online insurance quote and i got $1300 for full comprehensive.

Why is it so expensive when i have my BA XR6 insured for $600?

Because its a BA XR6 barbs, parts are plentyful and cheap and they are mostly driven by families who obviously very rarely get into accidents. Weigh that against the R33 GTS-T current king of the "Hektik" cars for both wogs, wannabe wogs and bogans alike that are involved in accidents all the time and mostly driven by dickheads trying to be fully sick and pick up chicks, so naturally they get into a lot of accidents showing off to their mates. The main reason they are so popular now with those types of people is because on your lucky day you can have one for $5k so its very attractive to those who used to have VL turbo's.

Disclaimer: I know most of the people on SAU dont conform to the above description of the Skyline driver. And the above descriptions are based on my personal experiences of friends and acquaintances owning skylines and generally bouncing of limiter everywhere.

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
