Well I think ive seen it done so I know its possible. And the reason I want it is I dont have to take my eyes off the road. The bluebird had it btw and its one of the most best features of the car.

Fair enough. Taking your eyes off the Road to look at the speedo doesn't make you crash though, if it did everyone would be crashing all the time!

That wasn't my main reason for getting one, but now that you bring it up, what makes u so sure people aren't?

If there was a way to determine what number of crashes are caused by people looking at their speedo I bet the number would be higher than you expect. It would certainly be higher than 0, a lot higher.

Thats like saying just because looking at your phone while driving doesn't make you crash all the time there is no problem doing it. Drivers taking their eyes off the road is one of the leading causes of crashes.

Well I have no trouble looking at the speedo, but understand everyone is different.

Just to clarify, your r33 does not have obd2 so there's no way that unit will work. There are gps based hud units that will work, and would be more accurate anyway.

But GPS units wont display revs indicators, lights etc. Surely someone has wired in one of the units on a skyline before?

Getting OBD2 to work on a skyline would be virtually impossible and fairly pointless, and I would put money on it that it will not happen.

Also, you dont need to see your revs from a safety point of view :)

I could have sworn i saw one on some UK skyline forum. maybe it wasn't OBD II but it was a hud unit wired in.

I don't like GPS based units because they only update every 3 seconds or so and are always showing your speed from 3 seconds ago.

Nope, skylines don't use obd at all. They use "consult" which was only on Nissan.

      Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
