Hi guys, I've recently made purchase to a 99 Skyline GTX 34 Vspec non turbo with no spoiler. There are a few things I would like to do to it, but just don't know where to start and where to look, can you guys give me some advise? Car is in stock condition. I live on the coast.

1) Full body kit and where? What choices do I have? Cost?

2) Exhaust - what kind and where?

3) Upgrade immobiliser to an alarm, how much and what brand?

4) Stereo - want to upgrade the stereo system cos it's factory. Want to put in some speakers and maybe an amp or two, but totally don't know where to start, please advise. (prefereably Pioneer or Kenwood)

Thank you :)

peace ;)

Full body kit - Check out DMD,Jetspeed etc...

Exhaust - Check out business traders for sale section in this forum

Immobiliser/Alarm - Chris Rogers (check audio section for contact details)

Stereo - Try Places like JB hifi, WOW sight n sound etc...

Post up some pics of your ride dude. Happy Skylining! :)

Ok guys here it is...please go to My Webpage and check it out in one of the photo album.

;) Due to my negligence today coming out of Chevron Renaissance in Surfers, I almost run over this pedestrian. He is ok, and unharmed. In return, I got an ear-full of swearing (I deserved it) and worst of all, a few light dints on my Skyline's hood... *cry*

:P

:P thanks for the low down guys, be right on it with the alarm system!

the car currently has a mongoose immobiliser in it, if i was to upgrade it, should i stick with a mongoose alarm? what options do i have? and where and who should I see on the coast to get it done?

peace :D

Ashmore ey... think I've seen your car, very tidy.

;) really? thx

mongoose isnt such a bad alarm, just depends what you willing to spend.

:) I was originally thinking of Viper, but then I've heard they don't make Viper Alarms anymore...I don't even know what brands there is to choose ffrom as a matter of fact ;) Know how much it usually cost to upgrade the immobiliser to a full alarm system(any brand)? If not, who should I speak to about it on the coast?

thx for putting up with my 20 questions :D

i'd also advise against advertising the brand of your alarm...just gives potential theives more info on what they're working with.

Saying it has an alarm is enough imo.

if that pedestrian damaged ur car (even if you were in the wrong) I would have run the prick over...there's no need to take it out on your pride and joy

:P You're right on that one! But I found out after I got home so...Oh well, the car is too shiny to acknowledge it from a far...but up close...*cry*

was the pedestrian on a pedestrian crossing?

I think you know where I'm heading with that question.

Also are you dead sure thats a GTX V-Spec.

Coz you have the GT-T wheels and a front strut brace.

If you have the GT-T front brakes and suspension as well, your car is a GT-V.

I could be wrong, just overly suspicious/curious at what I can gather from your pics. <_<

Yeah cause flesh and blood can be fixed just like metal and glass... That missing head will buff right out...

No, He wasn't on a pedestrian crossing. I "nudged" him at an entrance to a car park.

;) I am pretty sure it's a GTX Vspec. That's what my papers saids. Unless I am illiterate. Other than that, I am not so sure with Skylines. :unsure: How do I check it out?

Ask someone who has the Nissan FAST software (like me) to run your VIN# for you.  From all the research I've done I haven't come across a GTX V-Spec but like I said I could be wrong.

:P sorry but isn't it rather dangerous distributing your VIN# around over the internet? :blink:

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
