I'm not saying it's not a nice looking car, just that there's nothing really done to it that make it look any different from the other 3 million S2 R33's around, apart from the wheels, which aren't included.

The thought of buying a skyline sometimes crosses my mind... If I was to go down that path instead of something much pricier like M3/AMG/35 GTR etc, it would more than likely turn out to be quite an animal..

But alas, I think those days are behind me

Agreed, though the numbers are diminishing. I'm seeing less and less 33s these days. Ain't what it used to be. Maybe that's cause eastern suburbs cops have drowned them out.

Thought I was getting past Skylines myself, but a look around at everything new and second hand and couldn't see anything that was much better or fun for the money...went and bought a second one lol

I also look at everyone who goes and buys a sensible car or euro...they seem to wanna come back

Are you all like brothers and stuff?

Yes

Same here I think. Much to Adam's dismay

Haven't seen a neat 33 in a long time which is why it caught my eye. Most of those 3 million are f**ked or horribly modified

If I went for another skyline I think it'd have to be a 34GTR... But knowing it'd be highly modified and stand out aesthetically, means I'd more than likely get raped by the po po and I can't be f**ked with all that EPA/RWC constantly...

Buy one, if it happens do the swap to stock and sell it...not much to lose. At least it won't depreciate like the euro you're considering

Haven't been EPA'd for nearly 3 years myself and I live in the heart of Knox now

The cop cars do watch me closely though

thats why i sold my 33gtr.. wasn't even anything special just epa / pulled over all the time 'cos skyline' & constantly shitting yourself that you'll get done whenever you go past 4000rpm

would be awesome to own a 34GTR and openly mod it without worries (and actually drive it).. sadly that isn't the case.

Am paranoid in the pulsar even though it does blend in (not so much now with carbon bonnet.

The Gloria is still a pit to pour money in, but covers all the bases it doesn't. I still worry about cops, but all I have to do now is wind down the front windows

not anymore

now you get a 45 or 90 day permit and you just fill in the logbog each day you drive.

other than that all good.

but rules to get club rego much harder now full RWC and VASS certs.

and they can un roadworthy you and EPA you now as well.

Until you get an "M" plate, then the HWP knows that you're modified and will target you anyway...

P.S. Bring back my Jerry Cans, got a track day tomorrow...

Lucky I got in early. Ah yeah shit. Do you need em tomorrow? I don't really have an easy way to get them to you tonight.

    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
