First ride r33 GTST auto - went sliding around and generally hurting the rear treads, first ride in GTR was about a month later.

First drive of a GTR on a track was about 2 months ago (eventhough i slid it off the track). I own one today.

These things are addictive

  • 1 year later...

My first drive was an R33 GTST with pod, fmic, HKS 25/30 turbo, Apexi FC, 3" exhaust. I drove it to my mechanic to check it over prior to purchase. The thing was mad in 1st off the lights, and the noise the pod made was amazing, like some beast heavy breathing. On the way home I agreed to buy the car and have now owned it 2 weeks. The way the boost comes in in 1st and 2nd is staggering, and 3rd gear overtaking from 100km/h always brings a grin :P

First ride in a skyline was when a friend brought one round my house so another friend could look at buying it...

It was a 32 GTR that had just had about 15K spent on new garretts, racing exhaust, dumps, pods, Power FC, EBC, suspension and rims and a few other bits and pieces.

He gave it a bit of shit down the coast and the thing just gripped to the road like glue. I was amazed at how fast we were going, but still how safe and secure i felt.

The handling was tops and it felt as though he wasnt evel braking around corners. The speed scared the shit out of me and he was a nuts driver.

When we got back to my house, the idle & growl was awesome, sounded as if it just wanted to be raced and punished.

My other friend assured he wanted to buy it, and as the guy drove off, i knew i was going to buy one.

He ended up sellin it to another guy as my mate couldnt come up with the money, and i ended up buyin one about a year later. Mine doesnt feel like his as it has minimal mods, but i love the thing to pieces.

It will be faster one day.

First drive was in a 97 GTS-t, unimpressed generally.

2nd drive 93 GTS-t far superior to the 97, started thinking about buying one.

3rd drive 98GTT, highly impressed.

4rd drive purchased my 96 GTR, Not the torque I'm used to but the top end is attractive.

First drive in a Skyline was in an old mates R32 Gtst that had forgies, haltech, T3/T4 hybrid turbo. Thing was seriously insane. About 6 months ago i went test driving and came across a completely stock mint 97' R33gtst at Northshore Prestige. Had a spin and it was awesome. 2 days later it was mine :(

Back in 02 i was looking for a nice import.

Went to a few jap importer yards and test drove a 2 cars i liked

One was a R33, the other was a R32

Both had minor mods - exhaust and cat back - neither felt too exciting at all (I figure now that they must have been crap examples)

Ended up buying a 180sx and modding that

After going through a few cars after that, it was once again time to step into an import - after more reading up about Skylines, i decided to try my hand again. Fortunately the one i bought was much much better in comparison to the 33 and 32 i test drove at the yards

I have done basic mods so far and LOVE IT. I love everything about the car - the look, the sound, the performance

I cannot understand the "myth" as i like to call it, in regards to the R33's. After owning mine for a few months i think its one of the best imports out there. easy to drive daily, comfy, plenty of potential.

I much prefer it to the 180sx (and i loved that car)

My first drive in a Syline was my GTR, bought it while on lunch at work :D, as I was driving it back to the office I saw an R33 GTR across the lights from me at the top end of Perth.

I got used to it very quickly on the test drive earlier that day and have loved in ever since.

My first time in a skyline.

We were both 18 and had been seeing each other for a while...

ohh wait.

First time riding in a skyline was my mates r33. Only had a catback exhaust to our knowledge but was making 177 rwkw. Just when the boost came on the pull was so incredible bought the biggest smile to my face.

A few months later i bought my r34 having only seen 1 in the flesh once and having never driven one.

First time in a Skyline..

Probably about 2 years ago.. Standard R33 GTS-T.. didnt do anything for me at the time..

Since then I've owned a VN SS commodore, a 6 speed VX SS.

Went for a ride in a 32 GTS-t on Saturday... Bought a different one on Sunday..

Pick it up on thursday

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<,,

Cant wait.. slowest week of my life!!

First time was around 7-8 yrs ago. R33 GTSt. Had no idea what to expect cause the only common place to see a Skyline back then was on playstation. Went more out of curiosity than thinking of buying one. Highly modified, dropped to the floor. The guy pulled out of a car yard, and just lit them up through chatswood.

Went to the bank and organised a loan on the spot.

  • 3 weeks later...

The first time I rode in a Skyline it was sweet as. Loved it when the boost kicked in. Felt like I was getting squashed back into the seat.

The second Skyline I drove I bought! Stock except for heavy duty clutch. Was very surprised as how easy it was to drive!

My first time was two days ago and it was an R32 GTS4 Sedan that I had bought sight unseen. The auto is missing 3rd, 4th and reverse, but the first two gears were alot of fun.

By next week it will be a manual. That is the only mod at the moment, but there are a whole lot comming. Tein coilovers, High flowed turbo, 3.5 inch exhaust and 18 inch rims. All the parts are all bought and ready to go. Why mess around?

First time in one was in 1994. BRAND NEW R32! A rich friends dad let him drive it to this party. I sat in the back and was driven around with 3 other guys (crazy as the driver didnt have a licence!). I have been in love ever since.

After reading these forums for 3 years and dreaming about even being a passenger in one, let alone driving one i took a chance 8 months ago and bought a skyline over car sales, didnt even get to see the car....stupid i know but i had a feeling and went with it...the guy reversed it off the truck and i jumped in my first skyline...from the moment i put my foot on that accelorator i knew id made a mad ass decision then i snapped second oh man....ive still got the same ass stupid grin i had that morning on my face as im typing this now :laugh:

My first time in a Skyline was in a non turbo,which was ok. Then fast forward some time later and i took a R34 GTT for a test drive, it had exhaust, pod and cooler. I was just blown away by the stiffness of the car,steering and of course exciting boost that came on as i tested the beast. Just feeling the ass of the 34 twitch as youv'e given it some more pedal in the right gear and then whoooosh away was pure excitement and fun...fun enough to keep driving past the dealership :(

now i simply want one. :huh:

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
