Hey guys well finally after years of drooling over them, i bought my first skyline a '93 R33, probably wasnt the easiest purchase to manage living in the country and buying a car privately in sydney but it was worth it in the end.

Currently just has a 3 inch cat back exhaust, a boost controller and the rims, but more mods are planned soon when the cash is available. So what do you all think?? Also any advice on the next mods?

But i have to say there are some advantages of living in the country, full comp insurance with JCI was $2620 for a 19 yr old with no accidents but i guess the 30% nci helped. Here are some pics.

There are about 5 R33's in town an a couple of 32's and a 34 which i have only seen twice. But mostly bogan cars around this area, they are alright its the mllion lancers and excels with their stickers, neons and big exhaust which are the biggest pain in the arse, if i didnt care about my licence i would show them what a real car can do.

Yeah i bought it with a bleed valve i meant not an ebc, it also has a Brass button clutch which has made it interesting to lget used to seeing my last ride was a 1976 Chrysler Lancer.

Also anyone know what the widest tyres on the rear you can have at the moment mine are 265/35/18 is that alright, the fronts are 235/40/18, wheels are 18X9 all round. Thanks guys and i will keep safe dont worry!!

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?

My confusion at the moment is i am trying to locate the ignition, ECU battery power and the ECU negative The closest thing i can find is the for the S15 on Page 8 of the Wiring Specialties web page https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9F33_M_GgENQnZ6STMxVmVNd1E/view?resourcekey=0-eZ4nNRwRoqa1qvKlWWHm8A I cannot find the same diagram for the R33 RB25DET Series 2 dash plug pin out.... Do you know what the Pins? or know where i can find the same pinout diagram for the RB dash plug? Thanks for the advice on the box... i like a 6 speed so might be on the lookout or the box now.. a topic of discussion for another post...

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
