Hi guys and gals.

This story was 15 years in the making. My father owned a gen 3 turbo Soarer and decided a V8 would be nice, all this from a bloke that no longer holds a licence. Put money in the kitty for his agent to buy a car at auction in Japan, and ended up with some change. With the change he imported a 1996 S2 R33 n/a Skyline. Car was Aussie complied and sat for about 12 years, mostly locked up in a factory.

Gives the car to my daughter for a 21st present , all she has to do is put tyres on it and get it registered, which became a war and peace novel because of how long it had been in the country unregistered, and some paper work had been misplaced.

Car is a 96 R33 series 2 RB25DE auto with 67k on the clock, in factory pink (originally red).

Factory pink? Did it spend much time in the sun? :)

Is the car registered now? Pretty cool 21st preso - is she a car person?

It's just in anticipation of what happens to all red cars.

Cars all registered now after many calls to The Dept. of Infrastructure, and Vicroads not knowing how to deal with something outside the box. My daughter is a car person, but not a nut, she likes the Skyline because it makes the guys jealous, but would rather drive my Pajero  and cause havoc at the shops.

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
