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!!

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG is has not responded to my emails so far after purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
