Hey all!

Well...

Im Jack, im 16, I live in adelaide (down south, 10mins past marion) and own a blue R33 GTS-T.

Before I start getting abused and flamed... I am an apprentice boiler-maker/welder, and I have the car on finance in my mum's name.

It's pretty much stock atm, has blitz BOV, HKS intake and turbo smart bleed-boost controller. In a couple of weeks, I am having a heavy duty clutch put in (6 button clutch from Adelaide Clutch, cushion something maybe? not sure he spoke to fast lol), full turbo back exhaust & high-flow cat, FMIC and a 100,000km service including timing belt and new spark plugs

Car is in top class condition, I payed $19,000 for it.... but after all, you get what you pay for even if I was ripped off from the dealer. Inside is clean as, along with the outside which has nice white ENKEI rims. It's done 120,000 genuine k's (not wound back from a dodgy dealer or importer as many sadly are) so it most likely had the 100,000km service, but doing again just to make sure!

Other thing I have sorted out on it was the crappy standard audio, ripped all that out and went and spent $2000ish on a decent setup, new alpine HU, soundstream splits in front with the crossovers mounted customly in the glove box, POLK 2-ways in the rear custom shelf, and a huge 1000w soundstream amp powering it all

One more thing I feel I should add and get out the way... I sadly lost my learners permit in January for driving without a supervisor in my previous car (hotted up escort). Had to hand it in a week after getting my skyline!!! Oh well.. money I am saving on fuel is paying off the loan. Haha.

Think thats all? I have been reading these forums for months, way before I got the skyline, just too slack to signup! BLK-SKY influenced me to register when I bumped into him at marion, his car is shiny as

Good work guys! You've helped alot recently without even knowing it!

Oh, and I got it on the dyno so I knew the stock-standard output, 142RWKW. Ha ha. Aiming for 190-200 to last me through my P's, when i get them..... So any pointers to help me would be great based on what I have said that I'm getting done shortly. I don't want a full ECU change over, however much I would like the PFC, but maybe one of the Greddy piggy back gadgets or something similar?? Whatever I am recommended!

Cheers

Very nice, good to see a new skyline owner with an appreciation for their car. Just have a look through the rb25det dyno results (there's a sticky at the top of the Forced Induction thread) it will give you a good idea of what you need to make 200kW.

[bluegts]

Yeah well, with a car like these you have to really don't you It's not a commodore, haha. Cheers!

So who is local from SAU then? Like adelaide region...

Anybody here know HOSTLE?? Sick as car, Red R32 GTR. Lives in my area, drives past 2-3 times a night, lol.

[andz]

damn...lost your liscense when u dont even have 1 (lost your L?)

but $19k for a R33 is pricey, unless there's heaps of mods on it

(average around $15,000)

anyway, welcome to the forum, be sure to check out the 'South Australia' section for cruises etc...not that u can drive..yet :laughing-smiley-014:

good luck

Good to see a nother adelaide skyline owner GO ADELAIDE

[bluegts]

Yeah... way to loose a learners permit! I get it back in July. Can't wait. Should have at least 180rwkw by then, shall be exciting considering that I only had 142 before. I just gotta look after it, and control the power! Too many inexperienced drivers crash their imports!

19k is pricey, but I didn't shop around too a great extent. I originally was gonna import an r34 gtt for 20k, but importers sound dodgy as so I just went to a dealer where I can see what I buy. On top of that, a few dealers... eg Road Style.. have shit as skylines that make weird noises yet suspiciously only have 60-70,000 on the clock for a 95 model car?

Step dad's into his cars as well, but thats another story. We go on regualar cruises on saturdays, will be out tomoz as well. I'll keep an eye out for a skyline cruise, step dad can drive for me if I don't have the L's back by then. lol

welcome to SAU

[Basti]

you sound way to mature to be 16 dude. thats nothing but a good thing as far as i can see. anyways welcome to sau and post pics of your car.

[sinistaGTR]

welcome go to sa sect we help out heaps there and dont listen to paully33gtst

[tridentt150v]

I'm in the wrong trade, obviously a boilermaker makes sh1tloads of $$$$$....................................lol

You doing in a fortnight [mod wise] what most people take lifetime to get through. At this rate you'll be bored and have nothing to do by Xmas, you'll have to sell it and start all over again.

Sounds like it will be a good thing though.

[bluegts]

Banned if no pics? I don't know if thats a joke, but either way I am happy to add pics

As for being mature... hehehe... I guess it depends what im doing and who im talking to, but yeah, I like to think im mature for the age. 17 November...

Ill post pics when back from work 2nite!!!

[bluegts]

Here's the pics fellas

Sorry its sooo dirty, i dont see the point in cleaning it when i have to let it sit in a dusty workshop for a while!

As for the $$$ in boilermaking, yes you do earn shitloads... when your good at it, im going alright so far, enjoying it. Good at welding already, mig and tig. I live at home, so no bills or rent to pay. Just a $100 weekly payment on car, besides, working overtime and saturdays the cash rolls in

Anyone going on MCK cruise tonight? starts 7 etsa stadium. Will be good to meet a few guys from here.

Not to sure how pics prove my age... but here are pics to prove my car! lol. Hopefully I will meet some of the guys here, then you'll believe me! haha. I know what I said sounds sus, so I said everything I could straight away so it doesnt sound even more sus later. Hope you like it!

[Marco-R34GTT]

Nice work mate, at 17 I was putting around in a non-turbo, automatic VL commodore....

Welcome bud, and take it from me, try not to loose your license again, and don't do burnouts...

[bluegts]

Yeah those were my original plans before starting work... pick up a VL and slowly turn into ints an RB30DET.

Things change And skylines look better.

I can't loose the licence again, I need it to get to and from work big time!! + Just cars put the premiums up $400, leaving with me $4100 a year!!

Thanks.

[fEkuaR]

4100 a year .. ouch. When i was 18 they insured me for 2200 a year. Car looks good matey all the best with it.

[GeeTR]

4100 a year .. ouch

I got quoted 6000 3 years ago... surely just a claim to make me f_ck off
