Finally Got My Skyline :)


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone.

Skyline's have been in my head for a very very long time since i was young.start of high school thats when i really wanted one,but couldn't drive n had no money so all i could do was watch videos on youtube n dream all day.

lived in tassie & there was barely any skyline's so it was pretty shyt seeing commo's everywhere ahah

but when i moved to perth in 07 i loved every single one i saw haha let's just say i love nissan for making these RWD monsters :wub:

as soon as i finished year 12 last year,i got a job n started working straight away. my goal was to buy a r33 series 2 gtst:) even made bet with my brother n his gf that i wud get one before i turn 19(so i've gained $200 bucks by just buying one ;)

About a month ago i finally got enough money to buy one. i didnt wana spend more than 12k as i wanted to save a bit of money and spend it on the car.

I was looking for silver in colour,good k's under 150xxx and straight body n as long as engine n interior was good.

After looking for a bit it was all disappointment.they were all good in some areas and horrible in some.

after looking for a bit i ,Eventually I found a r33 I would eventually buy.

96 model series 2 clean int and ext for 10.800 with 76xxx on the clock genuine k's + warranty got passed on to me

good buy i think:) (guy i bought had plans for it but had to sell it as he had his reason's)

relatively stock

Only mods:

-full 3" exhaust to twin jasma tips

-alloy radiator

-fuel pump

-Nismo gear knob +boots

rest is stock

Spare parts i got for free with the car:

-FMIC greddy

-HDI EBCR

-HKS TURBO TIMER

My plans are to build a fast street car that will push above 350 hp no matter how long it takes me to get to that much hp i want to achieve it :)

i'll be following these steps on the link & keep in mind iknow exactly what parts to get..http://nissanskyline.6te.net/tuning_GTS25T.htm

-z32+Apexi pod

-FMIC

-Tial QR or Greddy typre rz bov

-Coil packs

-Boost controller set to max 10psi

-Hiccas lock bar

-EXEDY HD Clutch n maybe get a lightened fly wheel too

-short shiftier

-Glow shift 3in1 gauge

+ a tune & some P plater stickers ;)

Hey buddy,

those wheel specs are a bit funky. Nissans are 5x114.3 stud all round, and you have a 5x100 listed there so it wont fit.

If you want flush fitment, youre looking at around 9.5" wide and +22 offset on an r33 gts-t.

google

'willtheyfit'

Its a website where you can enter wheel diameter, width, offset and tyre sizes as well so you can get an understanding of how different widths and offsets will be in comparison to another.

Go off the basis that 9.5" wide and +22 offset is basically dead flush on an r33 with rolled guards.

Also I was the same, I was into skylines from a very young age, 12 or therebouts and I would also go out of my way as a kid on weekends to go around finding skylines and other imports around town just to get my car fix until youtube came along. Its been a painful 8 year wait but I finally have a 33 gts-t aswell :D

Looks good and sounds like a nice plan man. I assume you're meaning 280hp? Not kw? I've got myself a 33 gts-t series 2 aswell :P Mine made 208kw with essentially the same mods + nistune + aftermarket fuel pump (which you may want to invest in if you're up'ing the boost) + 12psi.

As far as I'm aware, no other mods. So no aftermarket fpr.

ohkay

just looked through ur pics

ur car looks nice :)

do u think installing a fpr would be a hard job?

Haha cheers, so much more I want to do but no money :( Always the case. Not a clue on installing an aftermarket fpr, never really looked into it. I've had mine tuned and dyno'd and everything seems fine with my aftermarket fuel pump. My tuner didn't say anything about getting one either. Googled this though, might wanna have a look at it if you're going to do it/get one.

    • 215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.  
    • That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
    • I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models? 
    • I had a fuel smell coming from the drivers rear and pulled the tank out to inspect where it was coming from, turns out the breather hose from the tank to the filler neck was perished. I’m going to Japan next week and I’ll grab it while I’m there  pulled the oil tank apart and started cleaning this crap out of it, some brake cleaner and rags got it looking new again 
    • Hmm. Was quite a few years ago now. I think I bought from a crowd in the US called CDT Audio. The speaker is the HD-6. The HD-6CF would have been the better option (based on T-S parameters), but they were discontinued in 4 ohm at that point in time. The HD-6 is a better driver in almost every other way (than the CF) - just not as good in IB. They still do the HD-6. They might even have a more suitable (for IB) option here.https://www.cdtaudio.com/cdtnew22/products/components/woofers/midwoofers/midwoofers.htm But, here's the rub. I was working in the US a lot back then, so I got them delivered to my US office and then just brought them back to OZ myself. I don't know if they will ship to OZ, and it probably wouldn't be great cost-wise anyway. As to results. They're driven direct off the rear channels of my headunit, because the headunit can be setup to run the rears as subs. So, not a lot of power being fed there. Nevertheless, there's no shortage of volume - the sub levels don't need or want to be boosted at all. The bass is definitely not what you would call "tight". It is definitely a bit delayed compared to a proper sub. But, with the great front soundstage and really good 6.5" woofers in the front doors, I'm getting most of the bass detail from the front and the rear is really only to extend the bottom end a bit. Works for what I'm doing. I mean - until recently you couldn't really hold a conversation in my car due to the fuel pump, and for many years I had tyres so noisy (Kumho KU36 at <50 tread depth) that I had to drive with earplugs anyway!
