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

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
