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!!

    • Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.
    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
