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.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?

      Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
