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 :)

Thanks mate! Yeah its great car to drive! Well tomorrow morning im taking the car in to see what the exhaust shop says.
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.

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
