Just brought a 1995 GTST R33 and absolutely love it. A few of my friends said that this forum was a great place for information so I thought I'd pop in and say hi! This is my first skyline (and certainly the most powerful car I've owned) so I thought it might be an idea to do an advanced driving course. Does anyone have any recommendations on some good courses?

p.s. - should have got one of these cars years ago :(

LOL yes Gusbert it is Rev210's (How did you guess??? :P) but I got him to take the NOS out......I'm under no illusions about myself. Will wait till I get used to it until I get any more mod's done.

No I dont play basketball but I have met a someskyline girls at the Dean with Nexus six.........(Who were they again Gus?.....was it Laureen and someone?)

I will certainly be keen on attending any cruises/events so Im sure I'll see some of you around!!

is rev210 selling his NOS??

Welcome Adam

Good to see more folks being converted to the right side of the fence.

I think skylines are quite alot like dogs. the more love you give the more love they back. and when you dont give em attention, they continue to love you, but if you thrash them, they get angry and die.

WOW that WAS insightful

Fubar turbo no, no compression on cylinder #6 and #3 yes :P Thats what you get for running 1.2bar on a td06-20g on a stock engine :( I should have played with my boost controller ;) Ah well... being rebuilt with forgies now.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out

      Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.

      Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.

      Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.

      By Kapr · Posted

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
