Soon To Be Proud R33 Owner

Hi all, my name is Erin. Currently living south of Perth I am looking to buy my first skyline in the near future and do some mods and get right into working on cars. My dream JDM has always been the R33 Skyline so I'm keen to get straight into it as soon as possible and bring my baby to life - starting with the basics and building my skills and expereince before moving onto more complicated mods and builds! I'm posting here in search of any basic beginner mods to start with and even just pics of your mods and skylines so you can all show off your pride-and-joys!! I look forward to seeing all the beauties you guys have - Thanks in Advance!! :)

If it's your first boosted car/first skyline, I'd recommend just learning to drive it as is standard. Take it to track days and skid pan days and just have fun and learn the car.

If it's a GTSt, just remember even if it's only making 140rwkw completely stock, boost + inexperience is enough to spit you out into a tree or someone else and kill you.

If it's not your first turboed car, then go nuts lol

Btw congrats on choosing the 33. By far my favourite of the skyline family and I'm on to my 4th one now :)

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
