Hi guys,

i've been tooling around on this forum for a year or two now, mostly as a reader rather than a poster while I had my cefiro... well I defected to NS for a while after I got my 180sx but now I'm back with my latest purchase - a minty nice series II R33 gts25t.... so i thought I would introduce it and myself so if you see me round on pacific hwy on the north shore you can give us a friendly nissan wave...

anywho - see you all round!

Heres a few pics:

thanks for the kind comments guys...

reeser - I am using it as a daily for the mo, so maybe some wheels, stereo and then later when i get bored with the power i'll start adding a few engine mods...

hell yeah its kursed, all my cars have been :rofl:

hEY kURSK,

So, tell us,

why did you switch from the cefy to the 180, and then from the 180 to the series 2 r33?

Which i best or what do you like about each, why,etc.

Thanks

I sold the cef because I wanted a manual turbo and the ceffi was an auto - but it was so damn clean and purty that I still regret selling it, should have kept it as my daily driver... So I got the 180sx, which was nice as it was a manual and back to the nice sr20det engine. thrashed around in that for a while but it had borked suspension so I put in some nice coilovers and turned a nice streetable 180 into a car that was almost undriveable on shithouse syd roads...

fuggin potholes would send my kidneys into my lungs... my girl wouldn't get in the car after she experienced one of my regular slides in the wet (unintentional one this time!) due to stiff suspension, a corner and a well placed pothole... very ghey.

So I guess I kind of got over the car (not only that reason there were more like back seat space, a really squeeky sunroof etc etc) and i had a holiday in europe coming up and the extra cash helped too.

The R33 - its modern, fast enough for a daily, roomy, and I luuuurve nissans... I know it would serve well as a good basis for mods if i choose that route. so thats about it i guess!

peace~

Luke

its actually a full 3" from turbo, with Xforce muffler. Its quite loud, I set off all the alarms in the carpark at chatswood when I drove through there on saturday hahahhaa oops. will have to watch that one.

as I said above, plan is a few comfort mods then once I am bored with the power i might start tweaking the engine... she's only got 70,000kms on her so shes a good base... and once I detailed it after i picked it up I found there was actually a nce car under all the grime!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By thatjawncrazy · Posted

      don't know anyone in this thread, but i just found it, read the entire thing in a few hours, realized greg is still posting progress, and just have to say, this is awesome. it looks awesome. 100% right about the Uras kit making it a pain to get on hoists...have the same kit on my 34 and it takes six 2x4s and race ramps to do it without taking parts off. this reminds me exactly of this thread. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/build-projects-and-project-cars/r63-amg-the-unicorn-of-my-destruction/110824/page8/

      Fixing exhaust position?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The only way to make that better is to weld on some bozozoku tips up past window height and roll with the cool kids.

      Fixing exhaust position?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'd want an even MORE side on view. More or less you want to make sure the outlet is actually square with the outermost part of the bumper. Or you end up getting soot all over your bumper from your hektik exhaust. In any case, it looks pretty close. I think the way to fix this is probably more of an overhaul at an exhaust specialty shop if you want tips that are rounded off or sit nicely with the bumper but have proper clearance and don't move - Probably more of a redesign than a quick fix. I've pencilled in my own exhaust with its own various problems, pinholes, PITA fitment, and other issues and can see myself going to a shop and saying "JUST DO THIS BUT BETTER?"  Which is gonna work better than any more small fixes. I'm gonna chime in here officially with "from an outsider perspective this exhaust looks fine so this is self OCD probably" (which I also suffer from)
