Hey people my son and I cruized past in our blue r33 gtst tonight. I am a noob and have never been to anything or posted before.  I would assume that it was you guys out the front of super cheap at about 9:30pm?  I was going to stop and say Hi!! but my son was a bit nervous to get out of the car (He is 17 and thought you guys looked a bit dodgy  haha?.) We have only had the car since december and have been working on it flat out every weekend. So after 2 months and about $3 grand it has finally become a reliable vehicle.  I would like to be involved with the drive days cruizes and what not. I have wanted a skyline ever since the domination of Gentleman Jim and Skaifey in the R-32 GTR winfield nissan group A touring cars and have finally entered the realm of the NISSAN. Any feedback would be appreciated.

P.S. I am old and crummy at the interweb thingy.  Since we have got the car we have done.  Enigine oil and filter,  fuel filter, Brake fluid bleed and replace, gearbox oil, diff oil with ford l.s.d paste and tons of figure 8's, full new 3" s/s exhaust with 100cell cat and 2xmagnaflow mufflers (i fabricated this), replaced front brake pads and discs (apr slotted), 4 new tyres, lifted the ride height, new coil packs and plugs, new radiator, outer tie rod ends, front castor arm bushes, Re-worked intercooler piping, fitted catch can, new pod filter, replaced snapped turbo studs, inner diff boots, re-wired under the dash, modified the throttle cable and bracket, New gear box boots, New rear speakers. etc.etc. My back is very sore but it was worth it.  Looking cool and going fast that's what cars are for.  My son and I have done nearly all the work in the driveway at home.  Madness!!!

Awesome ! Mind to share some pictures of your car ? :)
Looks like a great night last night, Sorry I couldn't make it. We'll organize something after Race Wars.

    • No requirement for JDM vehicles,  which the 33 is, maroney label only needed in the US market for new cars I believe (Federal law stuff) Google knows all
    • Hopefully you can just unbolt them, thank them for their service, then bin them and not replace them Apparently the sensors like to set them off with only minor impacts at low speed It looks like they do a delete kit for some of these, but, it is costly 
    • I hope it's actually possible. This is a write off in insurance world.
    • Yup. 2-way with shallow ramp angles. Still works.
    • That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together
