Yeah, why dont we hate on S13's instead? God those things are gettho.

not always. nigel petrie's 2 tone is awesome.

lol yeah with there silly ca18/sr20's and there filthy cable ties

cable ties are ghetto!

although SR's sound like tractors, they're pretty amazing 2ltr engines for their age.

Not one damn thing wrong with the R33. When you have three people in a room, two tend to pair off and it makes the other guy feel like the odd one out. Or there's always a scapeboat 'er scapegoat. T

Why so much hate on other Nissans? 33's are great, s13's are great. C34's, r34's r32,s are great. So much hate on S1 burgundy too. My parts car was a burgundy S1 Type M on Enkeis and I reckon It would've been awesome before it was run into.

TL;DR, Can't we all just get along.

The driver lol

Serously the little wing or no wing makes them look horrible , a gtr wing makes them sooo much nicer , no wing they look boring like a camry

stock wheels is a no no that makes the car look lame add that to a faded silver paint and frosted headlights and its not very nice looking , actually just about every car can have a combination of items that makes them look poor , the 33 can look great at least if doesnt have the horrible dash cluster on r32 lol that is a fail on every car that had that style

even the R34 and 35 has to grow on you ?

Being a 33 owner I might be seen as being biased, but I've owned two and they are my favorite line.

But I can see how to many people they seem 'bland'. The series one is ugly as all get out, but I truely do like the series 2.

Of course it does need to be slammed down a few mm's, and some wider rims. But with good stance and offset it can look the goods. The main thing that annoys me is that only the GTR's have widened rear fenders.

I read this and decided I'd take the whale out again and see if I could shoot some bad photos of her....... and failed. :wave: They're gorgeous to me. But the GTS series I wing wasn't.............. great..

I still don't get why so many people seem to think they are ugly, or is just that those who do just seem to be those who would like to tell the world about their preferences in life. dunno.

Still going through my shots.............. nup, can't find any. hahaha

They're not ugly, they're just 'soft' compared to the R32 and R34.

I'd happily swap my R32 for an R33 (GT-R of course).

The story of the 90's Skyline goes (which I made up):

R32 Skyline = Top athlete, smashing competition around the world. Got banned from competing (Group A racing).

R33 Skyline = After the ban, depressed Skyline stopped doing cardio and started eating more junk food, became fatter but still had the muscles underneath.
R34 Skyline = Went through some soul searching, decided to train up to get back to the glory days, became toned up and muscle-y.

R35 = Roids, not a Skyline any more.

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By Chris_Guthrie · Posted

      Any recommendations on a decent replacement manifold that doesnt break the bank or require additional mods for the stock turbo setup? I figure if I'm going to pull the manifold off anyway to fix the studs might as well replace it.

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By Chris_Guthrie · Posted

      So I checked the turbo out today. Very minimum play at all just enough for the oil to take up when it's running. I did find an exhaust leak at the manifold. 1 stud all the way in the front is missing and the one all the way in the back is broken off. Front has visible signs of an exhaust leak. I'll fix that soon but that's not my problem still.  I also found that the nipple coming off the turbo had the hose capped off and a hose ran from the j-pipe by the bov going to the wastegate. I removed that hose and capped that nipple and put the turbo nipple hose back on the wastegate.  There was a ton of oil residue all through the charge side of the intercooler piping going to the throttle bodg. I'm thinking that's from the pcv. Doesn't seem to be coming from the turbo that was all clean on the pipes side.  Haven't had a chance to check fuel pressure yet, haven't had time been having to pull a lot of doubles at work. I did pick up some carb cleaner to clean the iacv but wanted to make sure I had a fresh gasket in case the old one rips when I pull it off.  I'm waiting on a MAF that was supposed to be here today but delayed to Monday. Have a double Monday and Friday and work all of next weekend so going to try to find some time in the middle of the week to try that out. Did about a 10m trip around the block today and towards the end the issues were coming back. Fingers crossed on this MAF but if not just going to throw a fuel pressure gauge in and see where I'm at.  Did notice today that I can definitely hear the injectors pulsing. Very audible clicking coming from them. Assuming that's normal? Should also mean CAS is functioning somewhat properly. After it warmed up when I started it the intermittent misfires came in again. Did start doing that before it was fully warmed up.

      GOT SUM's RB34

      This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O

      Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.
