hi there guys...

as you can all see i am just new to skylines australia forum..

i just got my skyline here in sydney.. non turbo as i am only in my p's (that sucks).. this is the only car i have here...

back home in bangladesh.. i have a fd3s rx7 and toyota trueno..... enough abt me.. lol

since i got this car i was wondering how to go on about the usual maintenance most of what i am planning now is to change the plugs, engine oil, oil filter and get a short shifter and maybe lower it

1. what are the plug number for my 93 r33... i have done some re search.. bkr5eix is for the 93-98 which i assume is the series II and BCPR5EIX would be for the series I.. right ???? cause ive got a series one ?

2. what grade engine oil should i use.. i mostly use penrite.. so do you guys suggest synthetics ?? or semi ?

3. where can i get genuine nissan filters ????

over the years what i have learnt through my toyota 4A-GE 20valve is that oil filter is a key element to how the engine responds.. i have had tried many different brands .. but TRD and toyota genuine was the best performing.. same goes for the Rotary rx7..

i am guessing it would be the same case with the RB25.. as well.. thus looking for a nissan filter.. ???

4.. last but not least short shifter... the stock shifter is not what i am used to or like at all !!!!!

5. i need to lower the car.. i have seen people use KING springs.. How good are they.. from friday night when i got the car till now i tried sliding around its ok not that bad but lower would be much better cause sitting on 18inch wheels.. and stock suspension i really felt i was driving a truck.. (coming straight from my super low rx7 )

i mean i am not going track daying or anything i just need them to be reliable as i drive a lot i dont want to go 200 kms from home and see a spring snap or something..

Thanks to all you guys even if you dont help out....:) lol..

      Unpeeling the Orange

      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.
