hey guys

Just brought a series 1 r33

As this is my first foray into imports I though I'd jump on here and get some advice from those who know

I know the rims are shit and it needs more low haha but I've gotta get a roadworthy done first

I honestly think that them rims aren't all that bad :)

And for the lowering it, I'm not going to lower my skyline, but only because my dads car is low, and I don't want to get scratches on the bottom from road humps and some peoples drive-ways.

^^^ You might have been witnessing a car theft or the get away from a criminal offence, given that it was in Ulladulla. Statistics show that 32% of all vehicular journeys undertaken in Ulladulla are related to serious crime, another 28% related to the movement of drugs and 12% whilst 3 or more of the vehicles occupants are intoxicated.

Cheers for the feedback guys. Managed to pick up a second hand set of rims for it. I think they are work copies??? Not too sure. Also just got some tein Nr coilovers for it.

Landscribble, I brought it from Hattonvale, about halfway between Ipswich and Toowoomba

Dan I have absolutley no idea where that is so I'm going to say no haha.

Justin, the new rims I got for it are 18's, so I'm obliged to lower it, as it's nearly 4wd spec now :P

    • Ok so will run the piping over that radiator and no plenum it is. Put that money towards a Haltech and see what suits. Any ideas something like an elite 2000 or 2500 right? My long term goal is 300kw e85 and manual swap and that’s a dream come true. For now will be 200kw and auto the stock rb25det neo intake isn’t too expensive with throttle body. If I was to have the port matching done, Would that be better than the stock de intake as the det has bigger holes plus has the spots for sensors etc? And suit more long term?  appreciate the advice?   
    • You understand AFR is not the only thing that contributes to it pinging yeah? Funnily, what the AFR gauge will tell you when it likely is pinging, is going to make you think things are really safe and good.
    • Run the piping how we all have for decades. Also the duel runners with the +T setup dramatically helps it gets on boost quicker. Yes, chase huge power it'll become a problem, but you're a long way off when you're already saying an aftermarket ECU is out of the budget. You also say NisTune as it's simple, and then immediately say it'll be painful, meaning... It won't be simple. It will likely cost you a lot more stuffing around with a Nistune, than just putting a Haltech or similar in.
    • I’ll order an afr gauge to keep an eye on it.  Then will get a haltech soon 
    • TD05 or maybe pulsar PSR2867r Gen 2?  id love a garret but it’s quite out the budget for now and I’m not chasing crazy power.    yeh fuel pump haven’t looked into but whatever works, kind of last on my list.    Nistune because it’s simple but Ik it’s a lot of pain especially as I’m auto +t with the whole seperate TCM etc still investigating that. Haltech id love but once budget tight for now atleast.    finally the reason I’m trying for a plenum instead of the stock intake is I already have a standard Intercooler mounted etc. so the ports are on both sides so trying to not have to go over the clutch fan radiator etc. trying to find a good deal return flow if I don’t than this will do for now I guess. btw any ideas with that, apparently some people have to cut blades to reduce it from hitting the Intercooler piping over the radiator ? Thanks
