Hey guys and girls, thought I'd just introduce myself.

My name is Michael (username is Mitz), long time reader on this forum and have been a skyline lover for as long as I can remember.

Hope to have to some good chats with you in the near future and maybe join the club ;)

Oh and before I forget I am the owner of a "Black on black" R33 GTSt :thumbsup: currently making 254 RWKW

Cheers.

Thanks buddy, same goes for your car !

She's got a whole new rebuilt engine, internals etc etc with a HKS GTRS turbo running 18psi on high boost. Tuned by unigroup. Sorry for the lack of detail I'm on the iPhone haha. If you want I'll PM you the full details later :)

Yeah. always interested in skylines :D And do yourself a favour and join up SAU NSW mate, for the money its more than worth it! There is a Texi day coming up soon and if you like skids or just want to test your skills then bring it along, you'll meet plenty of friendly people at these days and they are really well run!

Not sure if you have seen the SAU NATS in November etc too? And the cruises coming up! Plenty to keep you entertained!

beautiful thing mate, black on black suits it too well - too many guys opting for the easier-to-maintain white nowadays. must catch a photo next to yours at a meet one day

Keen to know more about your setup tho!

cpd - haha that plate was put on by the previous owner.

34GeeTeeTee - I'm definately thinking about it mate, would be great to go on the track and meet some fellow SAU'ers !

squareznboxez - haha thanks man I've always loved the look of black on black and because it's a look that's not as common on skylines. And yours looks so mean ! Definately getting a photo together mate

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
