Thanks guys. I am really happy with the car and i am still getting used to people looking at me every where i go as my old car was a subaru 4WD station wagon. it is very nice inside and out plus some of the things that i was planning to do when i got a skyline have already been done on this car for me by the jap owner. The car is quite standard with a few mods which i have listed below:

-TEIN coil over adjustable suspension all round.

-Front strut brace.

-Turbo timer.

-98' series 3 front bumper.

-3" cat back system.

Hey i was just wondering how long it took for you guys to stop feeling paranoid about ur cars when u first got them. i don't want to take it to any shopping places and i too affaid to leave it any where in public too long. Also when i get out and turbo timer is going i feel weird walking off with the car running.

Very nice, looks good!

I still get paranoid leaving mine in public (had it for almost a yr), just try and minimise it whenever i can

just make sure you get a good alarm/immobiliser installed correctly

I've had mine for 2yrs now, full comprehensive insurance and im still paranoid about leaving it some places. I dont think i'll ever leave it unattended in a massive shopping centre carpark (ie westfields)..

I agree with most of the others in this thread too, the looks hot already, bring on the power mods.

Very nice car mate I still remember the first one I test drove they are a fantastic car. Have a look at the R33 GTS25T engine tuning guide on the website in my sig mate should be a good start.

Hey thank all. Yeah I hope to build my car up into a good all round streeter. I will be starting with the performance mods soon but I have to buy a deccent head unit and speakers first. Also does anyone know why nissan cheaped out when putting speakers in the car. It only had 30watt max speakers.

Still get very paranoid. Every scratch, every dent that I see is followed by a million swear words. Take good care of the car bud - its worth every dollar and every minute. It takes me ages to clean the car too - but its like my kid, and after all we all want the best for our children hehe.

    • I was once told, who it was I'm to old to remember, that the length of the OEM wheels brace supplied with a vehicle is designed long enough for a average person to apply enough torque to do up, and undo the wheel nuts to the specified torque  What a average person is is anyone's guess though, i.e. average fat bastard, average knuckle head, average perfect sized human......like me Unless of course, a tyre shop has ugga dugga'd them up to "torque to yeild/strip" specs, used cross threading as natures lock tight, or a big breaker bar was used to tighten them up to get some nice stretch in the poor old wheel studs Me, I torque wheel nuts to 1 elbow joint click, lower torque settings are based of wrist clicks, higher torque settings are based of shoulder clunks, or total dislocation for anything that requires all of the torques 
    • I think the catch can design is pretty flawed. Evident in the fact that the V2 one moved to a larger top mounted filter which alone would have helped with overflow and reduce restrictions compared with the side filter. I also imagine there was a major improvement to the baffling design. It is worth mentioning that this catch can with the RB20 was never as much of an issue and the high kms RB25 is likely a part of the problem. I have gotten quotes for both a new "Vibrant Gen 3" catch can and to modify this existing ones but that may have to wait until after the track day. I hope the sump/head breathers/drains and cam splash plates will be enough
    • Yep, both. The ratio is 1.8 instead of OEM being 1.7. The rocker bodies are modified with a larger bolt hole and re-threaded with 10mm holes instead of the 8mm YT has stock. Finding out they don't actually fit the stock castings cause a lot of un-impressment by the person in the USA who tapped the new holes for the 'upgraded' YT product. He was very unhappy with them given their previous design did not require 'clearancing'
    • That too, but I think this is why she's put the work into the cam cover baffles. I mean, a catch can should only need to be a catch can, not an oil air separator also. Not to say that putting the effort into having it do a better job of oil-air sep is a waste of time, but doing the sep earlier is always going to make life better. And that should happen now anyway.
    • I think both. Higher ratio and more stout. I think at least part of his lift increase came from the rocker.
