I have a wedding on that week-end , But i'll always choose free piss over any motorsport event . May drop buy on Sunday to spectate.

My advice is don't go drag racing on a 30+deg day . SAU will also be having a "Drag Day" at Heathcote in the next few months.

Hi Age, Good to see someone has thought logically, and decided they can't affoed a GTR. Even though alot of ppl want a GTR, it is hard to stand back and say; "i need money for; insurance, rego, repairs (there is always huge repair costs on a sub $20K GTR), servicing, fuel, etc..." I truly beleive that the GTS-4 is rated under a GTS-t, as the 4wd system sucks too much power out of the rb20 motor. With any R32 you are looking at a 12+yr old car. So be aware of rust, perished suspension components (bushes, springs, shocks, brakes, etc), wear and other unforseen expenses. Try and find a car with all the majors completed, good brakes, new bushes, good tyres, etc. DON'T only look at what performace mods it has, or if it has a fmic with a BOV Complete a search and read up on what to look for when buying a Skyline, before you even start looking at actual cars. The more you know the more you can bargin and the less it will cost you in the long run. Good Luck Alan

Hi Di, Owning a Skyline is always a great idea . But owning a S15 is not bad either . As mentioned b4, provided you have enough $$$ flow to maintain, repair, insure, etc., GO FOR IT! All the best, and welcome. Alan

Was great to see ya out there Alex, hopefully i'll see ya again at other events

Very neat!

**Comes back to stir the pot, even more ** Agreed, but 32 gts-t's are the slowest :lol: In stock form, otherwise it is all a matter of "how deep your pockets are" Next Question............. How many more 32 GTR's blew their engine last year, or had to get them rebuilt, compared to the 33's?

Two of my mates bought genuine Hybrid kits, both required the nipple to be mounted. Pain in the ass, had to drive to my mechanic's shop to borrow the tap, that has a very uncommon thread, as non of mine matched.

Haven't got a pic of my mate's engine bay. (Mine was done/made by mechanic years ago) But I placed the nipple near the power steering reservoir, just b4 the bend. You will need to drill and ‘tape’ the pipe. My mechanic by-passed the need for the nipple by slicing another air line and "T"ing in the solenoid line.

Let the war begin

Sounds like an arrogant asshole, that "thinks" he is top shit <_<

This pole just shows that 33's are NOT the most common Skyline.......... Since we see more 33's on the road, why are the 32 owners so embarassed about driving their cars? Maybe because of all the rust, lack of power/torque, dated shape, etc....:lol: /stirs the pot , then runs.....................

Being registered with an rb25det does not mean it is legal. But i didn't know about the 30 day thinggy. There must be something that is permanent.

"D" , "E" and "T" are universal codes, used by all manufacturers

Hey Luke, can you translate that to English?

To fit a genuine Hybrid, you will need to; - mount the vaccum hose nipple to the intake pipe. - Trim fan - Cut a 4" hole through the car body, under the wash bottle - Enlarge the std ic hole on the other side - Cut front bar reo. - Trim front bar plastic to clear fmic - Yell out a whole lot of swear words, and curse at Hybrid and there so called "bolt on kit" If you are not confident, or good, at being hands on with you car, then this is the worse thing to start with. Better option may be to go to someone you can trust to do a neat job.

If it is fibreglass, how do you know it is genuine?

We wish we could be as cool as you.........

Try a Nissan Dealership

YES, spot on. Did it about 4yrs back, but i think my mate paid about $80-$120. That included preping the area, ready for painting. The painter then preped the bar, as a whole, b4 painting.

My fmic was custom fitted, it has 2 support brackets on the bottom and 1 support bracket at the top, in the middle. My mates' (more than one) have the genuine Hybrid kit fitted. It comes with 2 long support brackets for the bottom and 2 short brackets for the top. We fitted these brackets as discribed, modified the rear housing of the thermo/aircon fan and the end result was like mine. I have seen other 33's with the same bar as yours, but have kept their std indicators in place, all using various fmic kits. Unfortunately without seeing your install it is hard to determine why your fmic is so far forward. I really hope i have not offended you, as it was not my intension.

If it is a genuine Hybrid fmic, no you wouldn't, as i installed my mates genuine Hybrid fmic and moded the bar as required. Finished result was like mine. The copies may be the same, but i have not seen them installed. PS: The fmic is mounted so far back the the rear, bottom half, of the standard thermo/aircon fan is filed down a little.

Do you have the optional fog lights in your front indicator assyembly? Mine did and i had to buy new indicators, as the fog lights made the assy deeper, thus was hitting the fmic. You can buy the standard indicators new from Nissan dealership for $75ea ($150pr)

Was just about finished typing my reply and adding pics, then my computer frooze up ...................... The bar was cut to just clear the fmic and allow max'm air flow, while keeping as much "depth" as possible. If you are using mesh you will need a 10mm gap betwwen the fmic and the edges of the bar. The off cuts were then taken to a plastic welder, plenty around just look in the yellow pages, to seal the "cut outs"/holes. I only got the cuts i made sealed and the other gaps, from factory, were left as they were. The bar was then preped and repainted.

Not really....... I have seen plenty of the early type bars with a neater install. Bassically that fmic, in Winks post, is too far forward, that is why the bar had to be chopped so much and indicators removed. I was compairing the two bars b4 i posted and the indicators are in the same position, the fmic appear to be the same size and mounted at the same height, but the depth of the bar is very shallow, indicating that the bar is a little to forward.
