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!!

    • Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.
    • Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.
    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
