Another lurker from England

Hello,

Not sure when I joined up here but have came here for a wander round. I bought an r33 gtr vspec in July last year and has took around 6 months to be put back on the road. Was missing an engine and gearbox when I got it and while a new engine was being built, I upgraded a couple of things. Its still on a run in map which is boring as I am limited to 4000rpm (link g4+ limit set at 5500rpm) but I noticed it had a misfire between 2-3000rpm under load so it is back at the garage 120 miles away having that and a few other things addressed.

Id never driven a skyline until the day I went to pick it up a few weeks ago so its all new to me. Did around 145 slow miles and have about 500 to go before the oils changed and the map tweaked with the limiter taken off. Be good when its ran in so I can familiarise myself with it and see what all the fuss is about.

Not sure its been worth all the hassle so far but haven't really had a chance to get to know it yet. People keep telling me it will be worth it in the end, I live in hope.

Bit of a long-winded hello but there you go,

Cheers

Pics?

You will find a lot of people on here that have similar beginnings or much, much worse to their Skyline journey.

Hopefully it is worth it for you (eventually).

Rest assured it will all be worth it. I miss my R33 GTR to death. 

Many GTR owners on here have gone through pain with their cars only to be rewarded at the end. Stick with it.
