If you haven't already discovered it, another great read is Aki's blog. It has good enthusiast info from a lot of Japanese articles, sources and resources, and discusses all the skyline GTR models.

Oh yeah, I found his blog a while back. It's great! I hope my blog goes on to have the same longevity as his lol.

I don't think it's necessary to segregate 32/33/34. Let's face it, they are so similar that knowledge from one can 99% of the time be transposed to the other.

Maybe not segregate between 32/33/34 but at least have a clearly defined section for them as a whole to distinguish it clearly from the R35 or older Skylines. I know I was confused about where to post when I first came to SAU because I could see a clearly labeled R35 section but no similar defined section for the R32/33/34 - maybe something like "R32/33/34 General" would help so that questions specific to an area of the car like the powertrain or exterior can still go to a specific section.

Honestly I still find it confusing to see some posts get started in "Vehicle Specific Discussion" and others go into "General Automotive Discussion" when they're all actually about Skylines. Like these threads for example:

http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/459533-thoughts-on-this-r34-gt-r/

http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/458178-r34-gt-r-australian-market/

They're both basically the same - a guy asking about an Australian R34 he's considering buying but they're in two different sections. What should be the deciding factor? Wouldn't it make more sense to have similar threads like that in one section?

Here's an interesting new twist in the Motorex saga - another importer in the US, Rivsu Imports, has been able to convince JK Technologies to work with them to import an R33 GT-R LM. So far it's just a one-off but this at least brings up the possibility of more R33's now being imported, although probably at a hefty cost. I posted about it on my blog here:

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
