I've got a black 33 S1. Pretty much stock at the moment, so if you see me around, don't forget to wave or something.

Most skylines that i see don't pay any attention to other skylines. I've only met 2 on the road to either gave me a little wave, or had a quick chat.

Really? Almost all other Skyline (and 180, etc) drivers always sneek a peek at my car when I drive past, and mine pretty stock looking (and I do the same, of course).

Whenever I can I try to take the opportunity to check out other peoples cars and have a chat - always fun.

Oh yeah, and I'm in the SE suburbs, and have noticed in the last 4 years more and more Skylines around. They've certainly come a long way from my dream car in Gran Turismo on the PSX! The more skylines out there the better I think - more spare parts! :uh-huh:

I get more other cars having a look. Most of them look at my wheels first and then give the once over the rest of the car. It is just skylines that don't pay too much attention to me.

But then again, I'm normally paying more attention to the road compared to checking if they are having a look. But if a line passes me, I've gotta check out what they have and if i should do that to my car.

I live near Hampton Park and it's funny - I always see all these Skylines with 40+ Indian mothers driving them around! It's a real crack up, especially the ones with venting BOV's :D. I go to drag them then realise who is driving it! Mum doing the shopping!

A few years ago many younger Indian (appearance) guys used to make a quick $ or two importing Skylines and selling them around my area, obvoiusly got stuck with a few and kept them as the family car! (hehehe just like when I was a kid on a fundraising chocolate drive - just sold them all to my family).

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Do the following first and get back to us. - Clean and verify your IACV - Verify for vacuum leaks/post MAF leaks. (Pressure test is the best and cheapest way) - Do you have a BOV with stock ecu/MAF? If so, remove it.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      Hey all, The skyline I have is stalling when the engine is at normal operating temp.  When starting it while it is cold, it'll run just fine.  I have replaced the battery (bad cell), I have replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter and clean the MAF sensor.  Any other suggestions?

      Thanks for all the information on this.  I tried ordering the parts from Amayama website and all 3 Solenoids are discontinued and not available.  Does anyone have any other websites to suggest that I could find the parts?   Separate issue-- I will start a new thread, but basically the vehicle is stalling when warmed up.

      It's unfortunate what Tomei USA has done to Tomei's name in general. I'm very weary of ordering parts from them now. I only order direct from a Japanse source (e.g Nengun). At least their logos are different, so you end up knowing what you have.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      Update Issues 5 (plus #4) - 10 After making a claim about issue #4's missing part, DeAgostini Japan sent a whole new issue #4 and it arrived about 2 weeks after that. That was back in early March. It took another 4 weeks to receive issues 5 - 13 though. This update is for issues 5 - 10. Ove the 5 issues the front left suspension and most of the engine have been completed. The quality of the castings and fit of the parts is quite good, it seems better than DeAgostini's BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the Fast & Furious 2 movie, which (to me anyway) doesn't seem to have as tight tolerances or quite as accurate castings.  Each issue has a lot of info about the 1989 - 1993 Skyline range and other Nissan models from that era, but the focus is on the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo and the various racing it did in Japan, Europe (Spa 24hrs) and of course Australia. I've included some text translated with Google Lens in some photos and will add to them if there's anything worth including.
