As GTST said, you arent going to be 'tuning' anything.

Has the car had its 100k major service?

As for the fuel smell, this is commonly caused by a bad seal around the fuel filler neck, something most workshops can fit for you quite easily. That said it could also be a number of other things!

ive got an aftermarket chip in the thing so dont know if that can be tuned as such.......

spoke to my mechanic today and told him about the weird noises ive been hearing.... i put my head to the engine today to wat sounded like a slipping belt but it was actually the CAM screeching....

I put in TURBO LIGHT oil last time i did a change (under 5k ago) and he says that oil is shit for skylines, the oil is so thin and black already too! aparently DOODZ put the same oil in and his engine was knocking!!!!!!!!!!

So im guna go tomorrow and get some nice thick oil put in, coolant changed, gearbox and diff and just a general service.... she will be much better after that....

Dont use turbo light oil in your skyline!

gearbox and diff oil, no way without special filler tools,

the "special filler tool" is ~$5 from any auto parts shop

Changing both gear and diff oil is a piece of piss, check the thread by Genesis in the DIY section for instructions on changing gearbox oil

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Victory · Posted

      All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.

      It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.

      Welcome Gabriel. At least your car has a glorious RB and not the shitty CA18. As MBS206 mentioned all the good bits can be added later. Two doors or four?
