Hey all,

What can i say? Im a owner of a Skyline now. Its a 96 White R33 Skyline GTS-4? Its a nice looker n all very attractive car.

IM happy with it n all but the only prob its NA :D

Im looking to turbo it or do an engine swap to RB25DET.... Yes guys i have read all the forums regarding this. so dun tell me to search:)

Is there any 1 from "Adelaide" who also has an R33 GTS4 and had any 1 turbo and NA skyline or done engine swap etc?

i dont mean to sound cynical here, but why didnt you buy one that was turbocharged? gts25t R33s have really come down in price recently. plus it would save you money/time/hassle ect..

anyways, it sounds like a nice car, post a pic when you get a chance :D

the money n time u gona spen making it turbo, save and when u have the money 2 turbo it, sell urs and get a new 1 with a turbo...thats my opinion..itll prob b cheaper and have change 4 some mods...i had (still do and its 4 sale btw) a 33 gts 4 2 yrs then i got new car....it was sorta a waste of time cos insurance was the same, petrol was the same etc etc...only got it cos my dad thought it was not as 'fast' as a turbo...hahaha

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.

      This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
