Hi guys and girls!
Just thought I should chuck one of these up, as I hope to be an active member... when I can be haha.
My real name is Bj, I'm 23, just moved back to Sydney from Townsville, and am now the proud owner of an R33 GTS-T
I have had a fair few cars so I am a bit of a 'Jack of all trades, master of none' when it comes to cars. Most of them have been Jap cars, specifically Nissan's. I have had about 6 Silvia's and 2 Skyline's and then a heap of others like Toyota's and Subaru's. I am looking forward though to picking the brains of you Skyline enthusiasts and expanding my knowledge base on them! Hopefully I will also make it out to some track days also, depending on work.
Anyway, here's the story behind my car:
My daily was this Forester GT, with WRX conversion, coilovers and blah blah blah... it did stuff, blew big flames and most importantly carried around a lot of crap while still being fast
Then on the drive down from Townsville, just out of Bundy there were some issues with 5th. My mate and I babied her back into Brisbane on a Friday afternoon and by the time I had it towed to a trucking company and brought back to my new place in Sydney, I had decided I have had enough. The insurance company doesn't cover mechanical fault and I didn't want to just get a second hand box.
So because I can be a little irrational sometimes a friend messaged me about how the move was and I replied with I want to buy your Skyline, but only for cheap. That night cash was exchanged and I was the proud owner of the below:
So story time over, this is the car. 93 GTS-T, MBC, FMIC, 3" Exhaust, coilovers, pink number plates, black leather interior with pink 'heartbeat' stitching, GTR wing and faded paint
So far this is what I am doing right now:
Pulling the rear hubs out to replace them as the wheel bearings are gone,
Relocating the battery further back into the boot into a battery box with a kill switch,
The interior is coming out and going up for sale with the sound deadening coming out,
Steering wheel, wing and front bar are being replaced (for a already track hack GTR front bar and a carbon boot lip wing... cant stand the GTR wing! haha)
MBC is being pulled out and EBC, better (and smaller) boost gauge and Bee*R rev limiter are going in.
After I get back from overseas there will be some wheels from a mate, diff shims, hicas lock bar, extended studs, tow hooks... a few other little things all getting put in for the ADGP Drift festival being held on Australia Day.
I hope to see you guys out and about and hopefully get out to some good events!!
Cheers,
Bj
