So Team,

Pulled the trigger and updated from the very much loved 'Sonic' the 4 Door R33 GTST.......................

And purchased yet another 1996 Skyline (to much head shaking from my Wife!).

Picked it up here in Canberra, as it is really clean and had a good build list base to have plenty of fun in.

So what do you do when you buy a new Skyline the day after you buy it?

Take it straight to the track of course!

On the wettest day in Goulburn history.................................... Was fun in a new car though:

Give me a wave if you see me!

^^ Yes, it has obviously been looked after, and TBH I really didn't have to buy it, but I see so many crap ones about that if the right one pops up, grab it. Wanted a 34GTR in BB but couldn't justify the extra $35K.

So, it pretty much has everything done,if you were rebuilding a car, but it has a few issues things that need changing.

Firstly it's running god damn rich... Took me about an hour to clay bar the rear bar after the track day.

So, I'll throw a Haltech, injectors and a decent pump in and an E85 flex tune, while i'm at it.

The -7 Turbos a bit small but are near new so will persevere with them.

Thanks Shaun. She's a beaut. Can you please confirm it has stock AFM's? Looks like it but not 100% sure.

Also, can you remember the flow rate of the fuel pump? Looks like it may be pretty close to maxed as well.

Oh the other thing, are you able to adjust the rear shock dampers like the front? and if so how do you access the knobs?

Cheers,

James

You coming to the track day on 23rd? Be nice to see it then.

Probably!

why on earth did you buy my sway bars James, nice upgrade!!!

Yeah, itchy feet. The guy that bought the 4Door has a nice set of swaybars. Made a huge difference to the body roll.

Oh Ok. How much? Miight be a baindaid solution though. Depends on what ESP come back with price wise for the Haltech.

are you going E85?

IDK how much, don't know if i still have them, but if i do i can let them go pretty cheap. I can have a look if you think you will need them though.

IDK how much, don't know if i still have them, but if i do i can let them go pretty cheap. I can have a look if you think you will need them though.

    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
    • Cracked deck  And other cam snap stuff   
    • A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.
