The_Forgotten Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Hi all, i have had a skyline for nearly a year now so i figured its definantly time to put an introduction up! around christmas time in 2012 i bought a white r33 gts-t for 7000...at the time i diddnt think it was too bad a car, it had the following:splitfire coils big fmic (not sure on the brand) cusco rear diff coilovers all round (different ones on the front to the back)r34 wheels adjustable toe in/out on the front rebuilt stock turbo (blew up about 6 months before i bought it) electric hicas lock 3 inch from cat back and some sort of aftermarket dump into a 31/2 inch muffler Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/431916-hi-there~/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Forgotten Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 (it also had an apexi fc) the first day i had it (about an hour after purchase) one of my mates rear-ended me. and after about a week i relised the clutch was going! so i diddnt drive it much and left it on the front lawn most of the time Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/431916-hi-there~/#findComment-7021654 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Forgotten Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 eventually i got fed up with everything and just bought a exedy hd clutch from the uk just a tip, dont buy parts from overseas! especially if they are cheap with free shipping! when the clutch arrived i relised that they had given me a hd clutch plate with a oem replacement pressure plate! so it grabs fine as long as i dont bully it around too much after that i bought some bonnet clips, found a spoiler in my mates back yard, and painted the r34 wheels and mucked around with the height a bit, this is the resoult!

The_Forgotten Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 thanks!more recently i bought a greddy copy plenum (a huuge mistake) with the install everything was going fine untill i started filling the new radiator with coolant when i noticed coolant pooling near the head on the plenum side F******K! so i bit the bullet and bought a legit greddy plenum. which will of course be better off in the long run! and it came with everything needed for the conversion including all the fuel line needed and instructions on how to do it, even if they were in japenese! ill upload more photos once everything is fitted Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/431916-hi-there~/#findComment-7021690 Share on other sites More sharing options...
