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

    • Call me the "Crazy Cat Man"...., maybe that should be my new forum name....LOL....., but seriously.....someone change it please, thanks Just grabbed the two black Oriental kittens that I ordered a few months ago to guard the house, I am assuming that because they are Orientals they know KungFu, Karate, or are Ninjas, or some other lethal fighting skill, even at only 3 months old they already have Parkour down pat Introducing...Bella & Donna
    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
