Hello all I'm from south Florida. I just purchased a black 93 skyline gtst. It is currently being delivered from Washington state. I bought it from Rhdspecialties. This is my first turbo car purchase and can't wait to read up on it as much as possible to maintain her. 49000 kilometers, she is still a virgin. Here are some pics being loaded onto a flat bead. I don't have plans to track or drift her because I don't know much about that stuff. Only upgrades from time to time based on the info that is being shared on this forum. I can't wait to get my hands on her!

Looks really nice ,wheels look great.

It'll be a hoot to drive!

:welcome:

Thank you. My question is do you guys think I should take her to a Nissan mechanic or a tuner mechanic to look her over? or will just any mechanic do? I thought a Nissan mechanic because they "should" know more about the car than any other? Or would a shop that specializes in tuner cars do a better job? Thanks for yall opinion.

She's old enough now that most mechanics could look it over. I'd take it to a more experienced tuner if you are getting any mods done as they'd have a better idea of doing a proper job and getting the most out of it.

nice looking car but id take those kms with a pinch of salt so to speak. My skyline had 50,000 kms taken off between japan and australia.

Welcome aboard !

Yep got to tentatively agree with CeJay !

I got mine in from Japan and it had 49,000 kms on the clock ! 

In saying that its now got 427,000 kms on it now ( its my daily driving car ) still on the same motor.

Just goes to show, if maintained regularly, how well they are engineered.

You'll love it

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)  
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
