Hi Folks,

Just bought a '96 R33 GTST and have finally waded through all the bulls***t that goes with transferring an interstate car into the ACT, so thought I would drop by and say hi to all you good people.

I must say this is a fantastic site, and the stuff I have found on here has helped me out a lot as a virginal skyline newbie .

The other thing that I have noticed is that nearly every time I am out driving around I see all these other Skylines that I never noticed before, and nearly everyone waves (can't ever recall that happening in the ol' Falcon, or at least they didn't wave with all their fingers). Tres cool!!

cheers

John (or "JD" to those more familiar with my drinking habits)

yea i will agree with that despite skylines having bad reps you dont generally see others in cars giving randoms a wave they are nice people :D

also welcome aboard what colour is your ride :D

Thanks, appreciate the welcomes.

My 'line is silver and pretty much stock at the moment. The guy out at BDL reckons it's an M Spec (whatever that means?), the first mod is out with the standard stereo and in with an MP3 player. I had to drive the car all the way back from Sydney with no cd's and only the AM radio, at one stage I nearly tuned into 1053 2CA, but managed to turn it off just in time.

Plans for the future are probably all stuff you guys have already got - FMIC, bigger pipe, filter, cranked up boost etc.

Over the last couple of days I have discovered that skylines are "interesting" to drive in the wet - that wanky snow mode on the A/T actually comes in handy for something after all...

See you on the street sometime.

Oooh, snow mode :/ The car i drive daily has that. Turning it on, gunning it, then turning it off has some cool results ;)

And yeah, what a time to be adjusting, just as the heavens open up. Ah well, no time like the present hey :D

If it's a '96 model, then the M-spec doesn't really apply. That was more of a Series 1 thing.

Once again welcome. Have to come to the next meet... if one of us can be bothered organising something, and the rest can be bothered to show up.

Hi John, welcome along! we are a friendly mob. Short notice maybe, but if you (and anyone else) are free 2morrow, there is a cruise planned to Bungendore...idea is to meet up at the jerra pub carpark (my haunting ground) at 1030am for a proposed departure of 1100. maybe buy lunch@bungendore or have a bbq , not sure yet. Hopefully the weather will be kind to us! Again welcome to the forum.

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
