Hey Guys,

I'm a long time reader, first time poster and felt it was time I introduced myself.

After the long wait to turn 21 and finally be rid of those dam P-Plates I decided to enter into the world of Skylines. I chose to import one myself as I had read a lot about it and thought it would be an interesting experience. After getting in contact with Mark Hocking I decided on a nice clean R33 GTR with a couple of tasty modifications.

Everything went smoothly up until it hit the compliance workshop where they blatantly said they had no parts and I'd have to find them all myself or pay them a small fortune to find them for me (would have been nice to tell me this before getting import approval through them). Anyway I've spent the last couple of weeks trying to track down some parts; this however has been rather unsuccessful as none of my mates are into skylines and therefore I have no contacts.

I was wondering if anyone had some spare parts lying around or had contacts of where I'd be able to borrow some. I'm prepared to reimburse the lender, I just want to get the car complied ASAP. The parts I need are:

-Front pipe

-Cat back

-Air box

-wheels

-Steering wheel (it's a series 1)

Any help with this would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

Mark

Hi Mark, welcome to SAU. You've got a nice clean GTR there!!! SO JEALOUS!!!! :wave:

Anyway, with regards to your compliance workshop. How much are you paying them for compliance? Normally they are paid to source out the parts for you. If you are the one doing the sourcing out, you should make a stand and demand for a discount on compliance service fees.

Very Nice stuff there mate, always a fan of a clean white gtr.

Most of the stuff you should be able to find on here or borrow from someone if they are kind enough.

Just need a full stock exhaust, airbox which will be easy to find

Wheels may be a bit harder and steering wheel but im sure you will find something, hopefully you get it out before xmas!

Best of luck

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By Wazmond · Posted

      Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads

      RB25DET Engine Oil Dipstick Length

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything

      3 or 4 8-balls in the sump?

      Hmmm interesting. Mine is the exact same and clearly the right one.  The mystery of the engine oil being full after 3.5-4L continues
