Hey All !!

Finally after many years of wanting, i have finally gone and bought myself my first Skyline - R33 GTS S2, ok ok so its not a turbo at this stage but im very very happy .. Im sure many of you would have said it yourselves after buying your first Skyline ' Why didnt i do this sooner '...!! Anyways Im not massive in the car tech knowledge stuff but im really keen to learn more about these awesome machines, so im sure you will see my random questions filter through from time to time.

If anyone wants to drop a line and say hi, pls do so ill be sure to reply.

Cheers

R

Hi Nissan lovers

I own a 2000 RS Four V Stagea series 2 fully optioned not modded as seen in my pic.

Now I just want to go cruising all the time as i live near the hills but needs friends with taste and class

like Skyline and other Stagea owners. I have worked as a volunteer for the Classic Adelaide Rally and

have stage notes hehehe and I've trade marked the CARave. (car-rave) were you go crusing to a quiet spot and rave

on to the beats from boots of cars :iluvff: Happy New Year to all

Hi R , Welcome mate - SAU , are you going to service it yourself , any probs give us a holler !!!!!!!!

Cheers. Not Sure!

I'm a major newb :geek: . i thought I knew it all until i actually bought a car with a snail (lol)

in the past all my mates had turbo's but i bought a lancer with a evo 6 bodykit :stupid:

mildly worked I got 88kw atw, was fun till a chick pulled out in front of me and cleaned

me up. Just had surgery on my shoulder and feel great after three years of agony,

now i want to go fast again its an addiction.

I bought a manual boost control (bleed valve) and a boost gauge but when I open the bonnet they dont just magically

go were they should :blink:

      Impossible to remove the housing while turbo is installed on the manifold on the engine. So I have to do it anyways. I plugged it so there will not be any debris in there. Will vacuum aswell

      gtr hood match gt/gtt front fenders?

      By JC71 · Posted

      would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
