ok! not getting the garrett turbo anymore. doesn't fit on nor able to be bolted on. at this stage, i just feel like ripping this bloody car apart. i'm that angry i just dont give a shit about it anymore. BTW - this is in no way Milanco's fault. After discussing the new turbo idea with Milanco, I stated that Hardcore suggested going the 30/76 which I told sometime ago by someone else that the 30/76 is a external wastegate. This would of then cost me more and in the end, I would of gone right off at hardcore and told them where to put their business. The purpose of the upgrade to this skyline was to gain more power. Only option I do have right now is having the turbo rebuilt & high flowed which was a option given to me at the start but when another suggestion for a new turbo to be put on was also given to me at only an extra $500-$600 which I opted for. Now that I cant get this new turbo cause nissan themselves make things so hard for us to upgrade our turbos with so many mods needing to be done, its pissed me right off to the end where I'm close to walking down to the workshop and setting my car alight cause this skyline has caused me nothing but pain, anger and frustration where i'm that pissed off with it. Make things worse, things here at work are just pissing me off even more and stupid old women who dont know what the hell they are talking about just go on and on whinge and whinge till the cows come home. Frustrated? HELL YES I AM! Piss off? HELL YES I AM! Angry? MORE THEN EVER! Really wonder why the hell I even bother sometimes. I REALLY DO!

The pics I currently got of my skyline are not the best ones that can be taken of a skyline in my opinion. When I get my skyline back, I'll take some better ones. Question though.... for the cars showing throughout the calander... will you be taking the photo's yourself for the calander or requesting the owner of the car to take photo's of it and send them into you?

Only problem with putting the mod list on the calander is that it can soon become out of date with new mods being poored into it.

I've got a burgandy R33 skyline that I've nomiated for Jan. It's pretty much stock except some of the body kit is a bit different... different front bar and a series2 wing. Mods are being carried out on it now though and should be out of the workshop tomorrow I've been told. What would be good on each page of the calander is a brief description of each skyline in the photo. Maybe we can organise some chicks to appear in each skyline?

Just got a call from Milanco.... the pipping is a bit short from what I understand, i might be wrong. there's some additional stuff that needs to be done. This should now all be ready by tomorrow the guys said. Least Milanco are keeping me up to date with whats happening unlike what hardcore did and left my car in their garage for a week collecting dust!

If a stock r33 burgandy colour skyline can go in, you can count me in if you like. I want January.

how many copies will there be produced?

Cool, thanks for that. I'm not sure if Milanco know that or if they do. I'm pretty sure they would though. Guess there is only one way to find out and if anything does start to go wrong, I can take it back to them for further work to get whatever went wrong, fixed.

Black R33 this morning on Creek St turning onto Old Wynum Road at around 7.30am.

Not to sure on the full price of the turbo itself. I'll see it all once I receive the invoice/receipt from the workshop

Well, took the car into Milanco this morning to get the new turbo put on and new braided lines, fuel pump & Apexi AVC-R installed this week. As some people on here already know, I took my car into Hardcore about 3-4 weeks ago and had it sitting in their workshop for 1 whole week and nothing ended up getting done to it. Their excuse "we can't get the turbo that we are wanting to get for your car" to which I didnt really want to beleive cause I'm sure the turbo that they were after could of been found if they looked harder. So, picked it up from Hardcore on the Friday afternoon and said to myself "not coming back here after being screwed around". Monday morning, got on the phone to some other workshops here in Brisbane and started getting some prices and seeing who can match or beat the price given to me by Hardcore. Milanco of course was more then happy to do so. Except there's been one change with this order and thats the boost controller. I was orginally going to get just a turbosmart boost controller installed into the engine bay through the order with Hardcore. However, looking on ebay I found the new Apexi AVC-R for $660 and Milanco came in and matched that price for me as well. It's a few extra hundred $$'s on top of what Hardcore priced me but thats only cause of the boost controller I've selected to have installed. The new turbo I'm getting put in is the Garrett 28/76 which is rated at 440HP along with a new bosch 550HP fuel pump & new braided lines. I've requested for some dyno results as to what the skyline is putting out now and what it's going to be putting out once I drive out of the workshop on Friday. So I'll keep you guys posted with the results. Currently, it's pretty much a stock skyline except for the exhaust system which has been modified a bit and also the turbosmart BOV thats in it. There are plenty of more plans to be done to this syline. Within the next few weeks, a FMIC will be installed. I'm still in the process of choosing a new front bar which I've sorta found what I'm looking for but not yet 100% certain if I want it. Still looking around at which clutch I should get installed as well. I'll keep everyone up to date with the progress with this skyline. This, I shall say is just the beginning.

I was looking at getting the Veilside body kit (front bar and side skirts) from "180sx" on this forum. However, I dont feel comfident enough to actually buy from this guy considering he quoted me $600 including postage, yet bodykit designers and makers here in brisbane are quoting me $1800 including rear bar and fitting.

I'd look at putting mine into the calander. But looking stock as anything, I dont think it would fit into the calander. Maybe next year

Ride the clutch a bit when changing through your gears and you'll hear it. It's due to fuel being dumped in the exhaust system as well which causes it to pop.

Could it be possible that this could become a weekly thursday night thing for skyliners to meet? Last nights turn out was pretty good and the location selected was also good considering no cops turned up and the security had let us be as we were not doing anything wrong. Only thing though was it was to far for us southsiders. I say we make a weekly event at Officeworks at Annerley/Woollongabba area along ipswitch road at its just on the border of the CBD but its also on the southside too.

Saw a whole heap of skylines at Toombul shopping centre last night

What would the price be to replace the shocks and springs in the r33? Thinking of possibly upgrading system suspension system if need be. Much rather have something that will handle really well and perform to taking those corners alot more smoother as well.

No contact details in either the whitepages or the yellowpages. There is also no business name or company registered under that name either. You sure it's Profrom Automotive and not Perform Automotive?

Well I'm ordering one of these for sure. Just got to wait to get my turbo replaced and upgraded as well as the new fuel pump, APEXI AVC-R installed etc by Milanco and then once my liner comes home to me, I'll be getting the intercooler etc that I've been hanging out to get for the past month or more

Do you notice any difference with the front strut brace/bar one it's installed?

Cool, thanks for that. PM Sent to the rmahnovetsky.

I'll just get the one from JustJap for like $75 I think they've quoted and then at the same time, I'll also order the Intercooler and we can do it all in one day if you want to, Bunta?

Just called Autobarn requesting for a price on a front strut bar (one that goes along the engine bay) for a R33 GTS-T Skyline. They've quoted me $335 for the bar and $45 for the install. Does anyone know where I can get one that would be cheaper? I've heard of others getting them for around $100-$150 mark & are adjustable, etc. Supercheap don't sell them and Repco only sells them for Fords & Holdens.
