I took a Nissan R33 1994 GTST for a test drive, was an Auto and I didnt think an Auto would be that great at all.. Little did I know it totaly kicked ass$ss, Turbo kicked in at the normal 3500rpm and I almost wet myself, torque, gear changes in the Auto everything was awesome. I joined this forum the very next day.

Mods it had = 3" exaust + Filter

Im now about to get a GTST R33 within the next week.

Hmm, well my first was a stock standard R33 Gts-t, was not modified...the guy bought a lemon basically, was in really bad condition, anyway, he let me take it for a spin...

i really like the way it sat on the road, it seems to be a very predictable chassis, controllable oversteer and great "bum feel" hehe...i diddn't mind it, just not enough usable power band IHMO...so as for power and torque, it wasnt very surprising...

Second, however was a really sckmik orange with gold pearl R32 Gts-t in QLD, hmm nice, was high flowed and suspension work, upped boost, now that was a nice machine, liked the torque and power of that let me assure you...

Orange R32

...speaking of which, does any1 know this car or the owner may be on the forum???

so now i have stepped up once again, and am soon to have my 32 GTR :( i just love the thrust back you get in the seat of a skyline :) hehe, why would you want to drive anything else...

Firsy time(w/turbocharged skyline) was about 3-4 months ago....

- R32 GTS-t w/RB25DET, stock boost, only mods were exhaust & POD Filter

- I couldnt believe how quick and stable this thing was! Biggest supprise! The feeling of boost coming on was awesome! So stable, even with stock suspension tramlined around tight turns fast.....I was smiling all day after that...hehe :( (Now gonna be on the lookout for an R32 GTS-t end of year/start of next yr - SO BEAUTIFUL)

my first ride in a skyline, was in an R32 GTS-t, totally stock exept for an exhaust and 12psi boost. It was raining that day so we had the tail out everywhere! I was previously looking for a 180SX after a mate took me for a ride in one, but the skyline changed my mind instantly. So yeah, the power and torque really blew me away. The stability and handling was very impressive too. I was hooked and within 2 months i'd bought my own!

thats excellent to hear champ, my mate bought a stock 180, which is now heavily modded, its awesome, but im super happy with my skyline, they are awesome cars. just take care of it and yourself and you'll get along fine.

cheers

The first time I drove a skyline was a mates he had and Red 95 GTST, before this I new of skylines but hadn’t really payed attention to them until this night. We had like 4 people in the car, and when I put the foot down and felt myself being pushed into the seat and could hear the turbo spooling up, I was buzzing, I loved it. Then again after driving a telstar for 5 years anything would seam quick. It was only running about 10psi and exhaust was a little bigger then standard. When I jumped out I said to my self I’m getting a skyline my mind was made up. My mates kept on telling me “get a VP SS or VS SS”. But how much can you do to a commodore.

Have never looked back. Go the SKYS

my first was a stock 33gtst and i was so disappointed its was guttless because it was a fresh import from the car yard.

my mate convinced me to try a few more the next was 33gtst with exhaust pod and 10 pounds then i was impressed....

now i own 2........ mmm skylines

oh-ho-yeah... the first was my GT-R32... such fun.

what can i say... im addicted to boost. its almost stock, but on a cold night, it feals like an F1 racecar...

one of the first times i opend it up, i remember like it was a week ago... hang on a sec, it was... i know it was stupid, but i just had to. i was fanging it, and i got up to about 170 and realized what i am doing, then backed off. the G.O. and the WHO are amazing

In 2001 I was introduced to full throttle on a 750hp midnight purple r33 GTR, which the owner paid a cool $130,000 for.. It was a nutcase, and also the first r33 skyline i'd ever seen, i knew nothing about skylines and had no idea Nissan could make something so bonkers! That was then.. :(

first one i drove was an R33 auto (didn't want an auto, but they were shoving the keys at me so i thought, why not) and it felt good but i couldn't really give it bit..

second one was a manual R33 and he let me take it out on a back road - and this was the first time i actually put my foot down in a turbo skyline and OMG!! I knew I'd made the right choice :(:D

ordered one thru an importer soon after ;)

First time was back in 2001ish in an R33 GTST with front mount, huge exhaust, hi-flow/aftermarket turbo and boost controller. The thing hammered, and I knew I definately had to have a skyline after.

About a year later I still didnt have my skyline and went for a ride in an R32 GTR with N1 turbos, exhaust, front mount. That thing scared me sh!tless and 12 months later I had my own R32 GTR sitting in the garage (now running ~330kw at the wheels).

first time was in JETT R32 GTR That ran a 10.8!! FARKKK./.. i think it went by me.. arr fark $hit... and grabbing the door handle.. im sure mirko could confirm that hehe .. hsit myself.. i got abit of whiplash! well shock mostly.. makes me want a big single but i went for the n1s for the street... big single on drag though.. slams you back...

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
