My Sau N00B Intro From Vic

[JDMKiD__/ⓞⓞ-33]

Hi I'm Timothy but call me Tim or Timi.

I own an R33 with a RB25DET in a GTS shell and have owned it personally for almost 3 months

It was a great find for me since its registered as n/a n im still a kid on L plates people just assume its not turbo because of the 4 stub hubs/wheels so its all good.

The Skyline is still a work in progress but has had a little done to it like: exedy button clutch, forged JUN pistons, Z32 afm, APEX-i power intake pod filter, larger radiator, Blitz LM fmic, Blitz dual solenoid boost controller, Nistune piggyback chip, decat exhaust, adjustable coilovers (not 100% sure on brand, previous owner said KONI but i think there only for GTR?), screamer pipe, GReddy RS dump valve (to be fitted; need adaptor), cold air intake, APEX-i sway bars and strut bars, removed HICAS, Nismo lsd.

Heaps of cosmetics too but not really intro-worthy

I'd like to do heaps more to it like ecu remapping, BEE*R rev limiter, 3.5inch exhaust with twin cannons, SARD 1000cc injectors, twin bosch 044 fuel pumps, garrett t04z bb tu rbo mounted on 6 stem turbo pipe (exhaust manifold), GReddy intake manfold, GReddy top feed fuel rail, Tomei poncams etc. Not in hurry though, just want it to be completed before my P's (18yo)

Not hard to notice my car round Victoria because its has 17" Advanti Medusas on her (ew..should be on a Camry but i wana spend money on performance stuff first) and Nismo "Graphics" on the doors

But like I said: its still a work in progress

TY for reading n i hope to learn more on sau

Tim.

BTW! how do you get those litte pics of your car under your comments/posts? eg: VSPECT has little grey R33 GTR like his under his posts and GTS-T_Sedan has little gold EVO 7..there mad as!!!

Welcome Tim!

You certainly have more than a few bit's and piece's done to your car.

May i say, please don't forget at some point to put bigger brakes on it... this may mean a 5 stud conversion however.

Welcome again,

Shannon

Welcome... It's great to have grand plans...

However perhaps don't go out and build a 440rwkw / $35,000+ build right away, especially not with a N/A shell at least anyway.

I kid you not when I say it will kill you

Also to note, 3 points as soon as the Police pop the bonnet, something to be mindful of given it's turbo (and yes, the Police most certainly can tell just by looking at it).

Big thanks for the warm welcome so far

I didn't want my intro to be an massive drain, just to keep it user friendly I just wrote the power wise upgrades I'd like to do

Bigger brakes are a must and so is a cage and other reinforcements since its going to be seeing laps and 1/4 miles (But not till I have heaps more driving expierience ) Also seats (incl. harnesses) are a required too. Already has strut/stabilizer/sway bars. Going to also do basic weight reductions and replace things with carbon fibre too.

Although I'm on my L's its not used and will never be used as a daily or in wet weather, its purely a weekender because during the week I got my mum's vx commo lol petrol isnt cheap so commo is on gas. Once im on P's my dad will nurture the Skyline and I'll drive his Merc as well as Ninja 250

BTW power wise, aiming for figures around 280-300rwkw. Anything over is bonus but keeping it under 320rwkw. Shes runnin 14psi atm but want to replace turbo first (Shattering ceremic turbo blades sound really frightening )

The build is going to last over a period of 18-24 months so there is plenty of time for learning as well as progression.

Exteriorly the car looks pretty basic apart from graphics lol, but as R31Nismoid said, its obvious is a turbo under the bonnet + massive fmic literally gives it away but side on eg: at traffic lights, all you see are 4 stud rims and blue "GT" emblem on side but it flutters/"Doses" like a mofo which also kinda gives it away

Thnx heaps,

Tim
