Just joined up and expect to have my R33 on the weekend. Looking forward to catching some of you guys on cruises etc. Btw can anyone recommend a good place to have an R33 looked after. I plan to do alot of work to the new car and would like to find a good workshop who can do the work and keep the car in tip top condition. (Someone that can work on PFC)

Look forward to meeting some of you guys in the future.

Welcome to the QLD SAu community :)

Depending on how far you are willing to travel but theres a few places. Theres Gavin Woods - Autotech (www.autech.net.au) down the coast at Labrador that many forum members use or there's Mercury Motorsport (www.mercurymotorsport.com.au) over at Wilston that are a sponsor of the SAu QLD club. I personally take my car to Gavin and have been for the past two years. Never had a problem. There are a few tuners around the place. Gavin Woods, Mercury Motorsport, Matty Spry, just to name a few.

A great way to meet some of us is to attend the regular thursday night meets which are posted in the events section or the Cruise out west which is coming up within in the next three weeks. Also, the next Massive Skyline Cruise will be held by the end of this year.

I'm going to use my psychic powers to discern that your last car was an SR20det 180sx relitavley modified. Now you have a white series 1 1/2 r33gts25t with worn handbrake boots and a steering wheel that looks slightly worse for wear. The car will have approximatley 85-90k "genuine" kilometers on it despite the wear on the steering wheel suggesting otherwise. I see a front strut brace and a cat back exhaust, i think it's an HKS super dragger, and stock rims that will soon depart. HOwever I'm happy to say that in my vision I can't see any roll cage holes.

LOL nice guess Charly. My last car was a 180sx with a few mods. My other half is into v8's her last car was a VX2 Clubsport R8. I have always liked Skylines and ready for a new project.

New car is a 94 R33 GTST with 65k on the clock. R400 body kit custom paint. Engine has catback and pod filter and was told GTR injectors and fuelpump. Going to do all the standards add ons like full exhaust, FMIC, PFC and boost control.

don't forget the front mount. we'll have to have a look when you come out to see what else your car has. Also if you want flames you'll have to smack out your cat.

If your preference is for mountains I would also reccomend some aftermarket suspension.

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
