hey guys!

Yea i finally got my hands on my very first skyline! I was looking for series 2 at the beginning but ended up buying series 1.

So far I'm loving it, makes a great noise and goes reasonable enough for now. It's not as much modified as some other skylines around but does the job for now.

Full 3" Jasma exhaust

Hybrid frount mount

HKS pod

Turbosmart dual stage boost controller

JE Design 3 piece wheels 18x10 at the back :P

Upgraded struts and lowered

A really dark TINT!

Also just bought GTR style grill and will be looking into series 2 front bar

nice car bro congrats

only thing I don't like is the front bar :P

would look much better with a modified 95 m-spec front bar :D

ohh and lowest legal ride height in NSW is 100mm ground clearance at the lowest point on the car ...

so if your exhaust is the lowest point on your car it has to be at least 100mm of the ground to be legal :P

it seems to be sitting at a nice height now I wouldn't go to much lower than what it is now

hope this helps

welcome to the skyline fraternity !!! :D

Min legal eyebrow height for R32 and R33 turbo models is 360 mm from centre of wheel to guard (in SA).

Almost every skyline on the road would be too low - that is really quite high.

Looking at yours I'd say it would be under that.

congrats on the buy mate....car looks in good condition....but if you were going to get a different front bar i would just go for an aftermarket kit....as changing you lights, hood and the lot will be expensive and you will look like a SII tryhard....just go with an aftermarket kit all around....it will look a lot better with SI lights and all....

Hey chops......I got my R34 GTR through inspection last week and spoke to Paul from Vehicle Standards at Regency 1300 882 248 first to find out the minimum heights.

He said that the R34 Turbos were 340 Front & 345 Rear.......Non turbos might be different.

Rang him again 10 minutes ago and asked him about R32 & R33.......he said 345 Front & 355 Rear.......again, Non turbos might be different because he couldn't find a listing for GTR's but wanted to know if it was Turbo or not.

So now it begs the question, are ride heights for single turbos different to twin turbos?.....who knows how these guys operate.......probably varies with each inspector and how he translates the rules.

Thanks again for the replies :D

I don't mind the front bar too much but just makes the car look a bit dull!

Also just bought the gtr style grill so hopefully that will make slight difference :)

No mods will be done at this stage, as the car goes enough as it is (on high boost tho! )

cheers

My info is from the 11/2004 version of the document - there may be a more current version but I can't find one.

The info you got agrees with the info in the document for R34 GTRs, and the info he gave you on R32s and R33s seems to be for non turbo models.

I've attached a copy here for all to see.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
