Recommendations?

[homedog56]

I need my skyline to have the once ova becos i bought it from a dealership and they didnt know anything about it. Can anyone recommend a workshop on the goldcoast that can tell me wat mods i might have but not be able to see. I wanna take it to someone who knows a fair bit about skylines/imports but i dont wanna have to pay a million dollars.

Any help is appreciated THX

Oh they know..!!

what mods that you can't see do you think there might be?

If your profile is correct and you have a non turbo R33 GTS, then it's almost guaranteed that you don't have any internal work.

and everything else can be seen.

if you have a pod filter, it stick out like a sore thumb.

if you have extractors, it will be obvious as they hang off the side of the engine where there would normally be a cast iron factory item.

look under the car, is the exhaust larger than the size of a banana, then you've got an aftermarket exhaust.

I wanna take it to someone who knows a fair bit about skylines/imports but i dont wanna have to pay a million dollars.

you'd be better off going on a cruise with the QLD group and asking someone there to tell you as they can just have a looks for the obvious.

Any workshop will charge you by the hour to tell you the obvious.

and like I said, it won't have internal work if it's an NA skyline so pulling it apart would be a waste of time.

Yer its got a pod filter and extractors thru to an aftermarket exhaust and cannon. Its got KYB suspension and from wat i can tell they look like coilovers but im not 100% sure just wanted to know anyother little mods i might have but not recognise

Coilover is a fancy name given to springs (coils) that go "over" the shock absorbers.

so even from factory, the skylines have "coilovers".

I'd say it would be a waste of your money to go through this process which will only give you useless information in the end.

but it's your money and your car.

do as you please.

+1 to what GTST said.

most of the skylines guys could tell you what is done to your car. i could prob do it, but you live down the coast and i dont.

but chances are they isnt alot done...if they are KYB shocks they could be adjustable but there would be a nob to turn on top of you strut tower.. check what colour your springs are too. that will tell you who makes them.

clutch may be heavy duty, engine will most likely be stock, you may have an upgraded fuel pump.

other then that...you could go to a cop shop i am sure they will tell you what is wrong with your car for free as well

[homedog56]

Hahaha im sure the cops would love to go over my car already got a defect for unsecured pod filter

Im pretty sure the KYB shocks are actually coilovers becos the springs wrap around

And the clutch is EXEDY heavy duty clutch becos i had it put in

Just wanted to know anyother small mods like upgraded fuel pump etc.

But prob not worth it Thx for all the help and advice anyway!!!

Honestly dude take it to ben at murnane motors one of the best i have ever been to and not pricy either pm me and i will give you his details he is at burleigh heads

[Ryan.R34]

Im at Burleigh Heads aswell, need a hand let me know.

What would a NA R33 be doing anyway 100KW ?

I use Matty Spry at the pitts and he has directed me to alstar at currumbin for mech work when it comes up. yet to talk to the boys there but new job sees me down the road from them might have to pop my head in their workshop.
