Hey guys I just recently purchased a Nissan Skyline so why not join the forums!
I picked up a 1993 ECR33 Skyline 2 weeks ago off a elderly man for a price I couldn't refuse. The car had no roadworthy and was unregistered but I thought it was too good of a deal and I picked it up the next week!
It is
-1993
- 5 speed manual
- Rb25de
- Hicas equipped :/
The only modifications are a bad ass JVC 10 CD stacker and a JVC headunit with cassette player, and of course some "GENUINE" Bob Jane wheels with great tread.
Getting the car on the road was actually easier then I thought, got a unregoed permit from vicroads, took it to my mechanic, got my roady, went through the pits (which I was shitting myself over) and it was finally regoed after 5 days.

I have a question in regards to muffler. I recently picked up a HKS super drager and I want to put it on the car. It is only the diff back section and it is 3.5" piping (way to big for N/A) and 5" tip. Can a exhaust shop somehow sleeve it and chop it up to 2.5"? or could I just bolt it to the stock system and it would be okay? Cheers.

Pics for your time.The car has some paint imperfections but at this stage im not bothered.
Cheers :)

But yeah never know it might okay since its only diff back and hopefully wont make the car sluggish, seen a few people here saying they run 3.5" from cat back on N/a lol.

So bad news.. no exhaust shop wants to touch it as 3.5 inch inlet is just too big :( im now going in the direction of custom instead

Not so bad. Nice looking car - put your money towards better brakes and suspension instead.

      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.

      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.
