Hey guys

Thought I should introduce myself here on the ACT thread because I been getting a bit of help off the guys but havent said hello.

My name is Daniel.

I currently work at Best Western Garden City.

I live in Red Hill with my partner.

My car is pretty much my life right now I have always wanted a skyline or silvia and now I finally have one I want everything to run perfectly (lol like this ever happens)

I just purchased a 1993 Series 1 R33 Gts-t

Never driven one or worked on pretty much any cars my whole life so im learning everything from scratch.

Pretty much stock except for the Fmic, exhaust and rims.

I still havent managed to pass rego name change as its to low and I dont know where to get springs (hit me up if you do)

I drive like a grandma a lot of the time but then love to still get out and hit boost every now and then.

Also I really enjoy being part of a community so I can't wait to meet some of you guys and going for some mad drives.

Thanks for your time

Heres a picture as well

Thanks Michelle

The front bar needs some touching up as its hit a few bumps that it didnt link.

Currently looking at a drift wing to put on the back to smooth out the boot and get rid of the ugly wing.

I see a lot of r33's and 34's driving around my area but im guessing they do not use the forums or I just havent come across them yet.

Went and spoke to the guys at Gas Tune tuggers and they seem like nice blokes.

They told me the height is the only issue so im waiting on Trojan to get back to me about borrow a set of springs :)

Did they measure it? If so, how high was it?

    • Ah ok. I seem to be mixing it like everyone else does so not sure what's happening. Will experiment with it more.
    • Depends on what you mean by OK. First up, was this done cold or hot? Are they reasonably consistent? Yes, they are reasonably consistent. Could be better. But unless it has had a build at some point, it is a ~30 year old engine and you'd expect some variation. Some of the difference could also be in user technique Is it good compression? Well....not numerically, no. New they were >160 psi. The one at 140 would be fine, in that context. If they were all ~140, you'd be reasonably happy. But the one that is @120 is twice as far down from the original numbers as the one @ 140. But.. (again)... technique can play a part in the absolute magnitude of these numbers, and the quality/state of repair/accuracy of the pressure gauge is not known. In the context of the above, the compression tester that was used last on my car is regularly compared to a known good pressure gauge. Not calibrated, exactly, but compared to a reference instrument that is not used for any other purpose, so cops no abuse. So we can trust the measurements off that tester. But another tester in the same workshop wasn't being compared against the standard and was reading a good 30ish psi lower. When you're reading 100 psu but the engine is really doing 130, you can make bad decisions.
    • More likely from tiny bubbles in the filler/putty. Maybe be less aggressive when mixing it. Perhaps invest in a vacuum chamber to pull the air bubbles out?** **I don't know if this is a thing for body filler. I see hardcore epoxy makers degassing their mixed resin on the regular.
    • IIRC, the speedo on these is fed from the sensor in/on the snout of the diff.
    • They were. I bought the AWD for experimenting but racing it would disqualify or disadvantage me from a few race classes. Def getting a FWD for racing.
