It's too hard to convince my other half to sell it and get an R32 - I really don't mind this car - it's a good car - - i love it - it's the luxury version and has only done 78 000 and I know that if i buy an R32 it would have been flogged around by someone. I guess no one likes the idea of me trying to do up my car :cheers:

no one is saying that, whats said is youd do better to save your money and get a factory turbocharged skyline as there are differences other than just the turbo and the brakes.

your saying your car is a shitty series 1, if your not happy with the car to begin with how are you going to be happy with it when you have finished modifying it, cause in the end, its still a series 1 skyline, no matter what you do to it

do with your car what you want so you like it, and most of all enjoy your car.

I do like my car - it's just most people give our car crap - and i want to prove them that they can rock and look better than other R33's. That is why I am willing to spend the money on it. BUt most people are telling me to give up and buy another car - but I would much rather fix this one up to a certain standard and say that i have put all this work and effort into it- instead of just giving up and buying a whole new car. I like my car, but want to make it better, I wasn't dissing series 1's - me rikey the series 1 - thats why i bought it! I as just saying that R32's are also very nice. But I'm totally sticking with this car and in a couple of weeks i will show you the difference the wheels and other upgrades has done!

Kudos to you for having a plan and the fortitude to stick with it.

I think most people here, myself included I must admit, think it might be better on your hip pocket to go the other way, but it is your car and your money and you have an eye for the potential that you want out of it, so you can do whatever you like to it.

I can't wait to see the photo's and good luck with your project :cheers:

(just don't put a GTR badge on it lol )

I think most of us have come to appreciate the fact that with enough money you can make your skyline do anything you want. If you love your car, like most of us love ours, keep it and turn it into a masterpiece. The others were merely suggesting that if you have a target specification for the car in mind then buying something a bit closer to start with will be a lot less trouble. this was no doubt based on hard earned experience.

As with everything else in "Car Modification Land", the decision is yours.

Good luck with it.

No one under 30 leaves their skyline stock

*ahem* ;):( you are so full of shit :cheers:

you can dooo it!!! u dont have to prove to anyone anything - if u like the 33 than do the 33, if you like the 32 do the 32 - that said always do the 34 regardless of anything :D

32s have the proper touring look, and 33s have the proper street look...

though i think the s1 33 stock wing looks uber gay. and the car needs a bit of skirts, bar, and pods to get rid of the roundish shape

The plan is wheels, brake set, rear spoiler (currently doesn't have one - i agree they look 'uber gay') something low, black - kinda like a mini gtr wing, spoiler kit, then maybe if I'm lucky, turbo kit and maybe if i'm feeling even luckier, carbon bonnet - not sure about that one - thinking it may spoil it, and of course gotta ge rid of the old exhaust and muffler. But one day I know it will be my perfect car - one day!!

    • Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!
    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
