Well all you young pups how good are ya.The silver haired old man is about to purchase an R33 GTT so stand aside or lose a limb. :)

Hi everybody Total SAU noob but a skyline devotee since before some of you were born. I spent my younger years Cruisin, clubbin, draggin, short circuit racing and a variety of other motoring shenanigans in a variety of cars including HT 350 bathurst Monaro, SLR 5000 torana, several red hot mini cooper S' and a few other nondescript hotrods of varied performance and questionable condition.

As happens so often I got caught by a sheila and got married and had a couple of kids so the fun had to stop.

I spent the next 20 years driving a boring range of cars from a 180B, 200B, 2.4 skyline (damn good car) 3 litre aussie skyline several nissan patrols (currently own a TI 4.8 litre with some mild mods) and A couple of maximas. Wifes current ride is an 05 TI Max. (what a sweet ride)

Underlying all of this has been a burning desire to own a hot skyline. Ever since those gibson motor sports gtrs rammed it up dick johnson and HDTs arse I have worshipped at the skyline alter. Funniest event in motorsport was listening to Johnson cry a river claiming foul on the gtrs after he had dominated in the cosworth sierras for a couple of seasons. Jim Richards winning speech at bathurst lives in my mind as the greatest oratory in aussie motor sport. (for those too young to recall his words were something as follow to the the sorelosin gm and blue oval fans) YOU ARE A PACK OF ARSEHOLES

Nuff of that nonsense. I am going to tune a 2.5 R33 to somewhere around 240/250RWKW and play my heart out. I look forward to meeting as many of you as possible and sharing info, Ideas, and general bs sessions.

I wish to drag, circuit, and partake in activitys such as fun runs etc with others of a like mind.

I would like to join the queensland skylind clup (or whatever its called) and start enjoying what my soul has been craving for over 20 years. PERFORMANCE :)

Rules of engagement are simple. No taking it easy on the old fart cos, given the chance I will kick the crap outta ya and rub it in hard when you are down. I takes my lumps like a man and i dish them out like a mongrel so give me all ya got or dont play.

Just coming on here has made me feel years younger already. Just tell me where and when it all happens and lets have a ball. :P

As a matter of interest, Am I the only old fart who chose a skyline over a harley as a midlife regression or are there other geriatrics around like me. :)

    • Hi again all, I’ve tried doing some searching on the topic but couldn’t find the answer I’m looking for.   I deleted my clutch booster because it had an air leak and was squealing like a hog, and now my clutch has very poor pedal feel and the friction zone is way too small, so I believe I need a bigger diameter clutch master cylinder to compensate for not using the booster. I found a Wilwood option that’s 3/4” for a good price and will fit my 3AN clutch line, but all the firewall adapters I see online such as RB factory or Chase Bays are listed as RWD only (GTST/GTS). Link below. https://rbfactory.shop/products/nissan-to-wilwood-girling-clutch-master-cylinder-adapter My question is if these adapters will also fit a GTR, and if anyone has experience using a 3/4” CMC without the booster, my clutch is a Nismo coppermix twin plate.   Thanks, always appreciate the advice!
    • Catching up on a post, I've replaced the external shark fin with a small 4g antenna (no further drilling, just a 1mm embiggening of the existing hole, and run that to where the dual battery models have the battery in the left rear guard.  No idea what the factory antenna did, but removing it had no impact on anything I use, according to the US manual the GPS antenna is in the dash and it still works fine Also ended up stealing battery power from one of the amps and ACC power from a unit nearby to add an ACC relay to power it. The mounted the booster, wifi, power socket and antenna splitter in the rear left guard out of the way, all out of site with the boot trims in
    • What drama? The only drama you're going to have is the near constant work to maintain all those sphericals. I only have sphericals in my front caster rods and front upper CAs (because both of these are near compulsory in an R32). I have had the front arms out of my car 34 times already this month, and if the new replacements arrive today, I will have them out and apart again tomorrow. Chasing clicking and clunking that comes from sphericals being a.....poor choice for a road car. Moisture and dirt are not their friends. I have been contemplating a change to my rear subframe that would require me to use sphericals in my lower CAs. And.....I don't want to have them that close to the road.
    • Did you need anything else you've already done? If you had it before... and liked the changes after, then supposedly it'd be more of the same. The idea about most suspension arms is to tune geometry that the OEM arms max out at/can't handle because they weren't designed to have the car setup in such a way that 'looks good'.
    • I have replaced everything on my r34 including suspension to Miester R, all rear subframe bushes to poly, all arms to metal adjustable and same in front.   only thing I haven't touched is the front lower control arm. Should I? what improvement can i expect ? I mean the one on the link below?   Car drives perfectly, it is just me thinking everything is either puly bush or hard bearing type so should also do lower control arm front but do I really need it ? https://www.japspeed.co.uk/product/suspension/adjustable-arms/nissan-200sx-s13-s14-s15-skyline-r32-r33-r34-adjustable-suspension-front-lower-control-arms/?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAo5u6BhDJARIsAAVoDWs5V_PauQPf0kx3zFCaA4tOC9Q7JSIsfJWma_jAPN2f1sJA686djOwaAidgEALw_wcB
