Well, I been lurking around these forums for a few days picking up bits of useful info here and there so I thought I should do the neighbourly thing and introduce myself...

I'm from Brissy and I just bought a silver 96 R33 series II GTST. Still getting a few things sorted on the car, bit by bit as money rolls in, and the wealth of information on these forums have been invaluable! Just shows what a community can achieve helping each other eh?

Well I'll be around here for a while I reckon so cheers to you all and hopefully see you on a cruise sometime soon! :(

G'day mate,

Welcome to the forum. You didn't happen to buy your car from Sunnybank did you. I looked at a 96 Series 2 from there before I bought mine, and it seemed a bit dodgy. The paint looked like a bit of a dodgy respray, and for a car with so few km's, it certainly was pretty rattly / loose feeling. Anyway hopefully you got it checked out first if it was the one I am thinking of.

See you around the place. Go the silver 'lines.

Brendon.

Welcome :)

I might take some pics tomorrow, got a couple that the guy I bought it off took but I had to remove a few stickers...looks cleaner and classier now :D

I didn't get it from sunnybank, got it up at caloundra. It's had a bit of respray but hasn't had any major prangs (according to the guys that checked the bodywork and stuff). I think a lot of these cars get resprays either before leaving japan or getting here, just fixing up dings and stuff I guess.

I did get a bunch of useful info, esp. about removing interior panels to get a new stereo in (should be in tomorrow, listening to the engine is nice and all but it feels lonely cruising around alone with no tunes :cheers: )

I'm usually cruising around auchenflower/toowong/milton/UQ area as that's where I live and play a lot....rego is 264HVI if you see me around say "hi"

I've only had the car two days...man I'm so in love...I'd sleep in the garage if my girlfriend would let me. I said this to her on the first night...she thought I was kidding lol.

My girlfriend got the 5hits up coz I told her she would always come second to the skyline. That, coupled with the fact that I have been going out with the skyline for 2 years and her for 3.5 years.

I am bad. I didn't mean it though. She thinks I did.

Was that through a private sale? Cause my friend and i went to look at one in sunnybank that the guy was asking $20,000 for, completely stock. It looked very dodgy though.

      Leaking Rear Subframe Bushing?

      Yes, I had ordered the spherical bushings at the same time as the rest. I have high hopes for the anti squat reduction kit.

      Make sure you use the spherical bushes** on the lower arms, ifyou do that. ** at least, if not the whole replacement lower arm.

      R32 only blows hot air

      The tap for coolant flow control will be stuck open. It's not just the air door motor that dies.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Not really, but the heater box is pretty simple mechanically....if the door is one way the air bypasses the heater core and if it is the other way it goes through it for warm air.  If you are sure the actuator you moved manually is for the heater mix (there would also be one for output air direction) then I'd take the heater box out and see what is happening (you'll have to regass and re-coolant the systems afterwards) BTW pp724 onwards from the GTR workshop manual cover the system in good detail, it is probably worth checking. I think the IAT sensor might be a problem electrically for getting cold (if you got 24 error code not -24 it thinks the incoming air is -50c) and it covers how to test the sensor (although most likely it is either not plugged in or a wire is damaged)

      Use the GKTech subframe bush and bring your subframe 10mm closer to the chassis. You'll need to fix an exhaust hanger to suit. One of the best mods I've done.
