Hey guys, joined the forum quite a while ago, my name's Manny, when I first got my license I had the intention of purchasing a R33 GTS-T, but the turbo laws for P platers wouldn't allow me. So I bought a 1990 CRX siR. I have loved Skylines ever since I saw my first R33 GTR in midnight purple when I was 8 years old (about 12 years go) My brother drives a 2000 R34 GT 4-Door, Non Turbo, AUTO! Anyway, in the next few years I'll be saving myself some coin and one day own a R33 GTR V-Spec of my own :) oOh, and If anyone wants to do a photoshoot with their cars just PM me

Here's a pic of my CRX

nice car, I used to be a Honda boy. Had an 89 and 94 Honda Prelude. Both were great cars to own and if i didnt have the need for power and rear wheel drive I would probably still have one. Where in melb are you from?

the CRXsir rocks the casbar, id take that over a non turbo skyline any day. Yours looks rad as well. Get a b18 block and bump the compression up to about 11 it will hammer. Looks kinda like a friends car who did you buy it off

btw dw bout clutch hes the worse sounding human on the planet..

The siR is a nice car, don't want to spend anymore money on it anymore, pretty happy with it for the moment, but I am starting to save for an R34 GTR. I bought it off an elderly enthusiast that lived in Ringwood North (Melbourne) 3 years ago. It was stock all round. I'll get a few engine shots up soon

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
