Hi there ,

My name is Tim, I own a R33 4 door S1, I traded a Proton Jumbuck for it late december 06 and i love it!

Its fairly standard, apart from wheels, cat back, and white face el dash. I have done 5000 km and hope to do many more!

Nice car mate. like those rims u got man...

Yea I like em but they have been guttered like a b!tch (not by me) , and the white bits look like they have crows feet (small cracks in the paint), but it wont polish off :blush:

But they look nice from a distance lol!

Man I really like the Kinda standard look, with the front mount, looks sweet.

Well i'm thinking of puting a Final Konnexion body kit on, but I need a win at the pokies to fund it lol!. I want make up a "carputer" and put that in. I'm thinking of painting the rims the same color as the bottom of the car dark grey, and paint the nismo bit white, and when i kill the turbo ive got a mate with a hiflow ready to put in.

And maybe a new front sway bar, and strut brace. If I can think of something else to throw money at i'll let you know lol. :P

Proton Jumbuck? Mate, you made the right move. Should have done it before the Proton though to be honest :D

Your absolutley right about that, sure it was new but thats the only good thing about it!

The resale value was crud, but i expected that! Glad ive got the line though! :D

    • As an ex-skyline owner Going off how these things are now "modern classics", I would keep the twins and just "refresh" bits that are required for reliable power and have a car you can take out for a cruise whenever you get the itch As a idiot who cannot leave things alone Going deep into the "rabbit hole" is a easy thing to do, as previously mentioned, once you start it becomes a slippery slope, wirh lots of supporting mods, and possibly rebuilds, and unless you have a bottomless pit of funds, the car can spend most of its life sitting in the garage,  broken, waiting for parts, or building more funds For a classic like a R32 GTR Basically, a reliable OEM+ refresh, that isn't a broken garage queen, is alot better than a car that you build, then break, then fix, then break again And it isn't just the engine you need to worry about, these beasties are getting on in age, and all parts are getting, and have got, expensive, the days of picking up cheap replacement engines and other driveline parts are well and truly over The funds not spent on going a single with quality parts, and with all the other other bits required to make it happen, could be spent on refreshing alot of other parts A wise man once said "If you cannot afford 2 GTR's, you cannot afford 1", I also believe he said this about 20 years ago when you could pick up a clean R32 GTR up for around $20k My advice for a R32 GTR (the one and only true Godzilla in my mind) is to think holistically about the whole car, the body, the power train, the suspension, the brakes, and the driveline SAU is a wealth of knowledge with decades of Skyline experience,  from stock, to OEM+, to modified to varying degrees, to full on or weekend or dedicated racecars, as well as full on money pits that rarely leave their garage Treat the old girl nice and give her what she deserves, you are a lucky man to own such a classic car  
    • For that price you could buy the hypergear turbo (big fan as I run one) and the Haltech ECU..
    • +1 for the Elite 2500. Get some new knock sensors while you are at it (pretty cheap), look up the TAARKS Nissan knock sensor kit. You may also want to get new coils (R35gtr) while your at it (assuming your on stock ones), as they are a liability. Mine started right up and idled fine on the base map. Also go MAP over MAF, as said above, Haltech make this super simple right out the box. Another fanboy of DBW here, Outsider Garage from your neck of the woods make some nice conversion gear for the R33 (that’s where I got some of my gear from).
