Hi guys.

My name is Alex and im posting from wayy over here in Houston,TX.I found this site just searching on yahoo for different forums.I bought a Skyline R33 about 2 months ago and im in the process of bringing it back to life.It has its little problems but nothing too major.The main thing is I need a rear windshield but im having a really hard time getting one right now. :( As you guys already know,Skylines arent the most common car over here.Getting parts is kinda annoying.

Here it is when it got delivered to my house...

Aside from the Skyline I drive a Honda s2000 turbo and a stock boring Lexus is300.lol.

RIght off the line I have to ask if there is a thread on here with aggressive wheel fitments on skylines,please link me! I'll leave you guys now to go post away!

Yes it had its share of dents and dings but I got it for a good price.I plan on redoing everything really.I already stripped the interior for the most part and got the seats redone.Now im waiting for the bodyshop to finish pulling all the dents and primer it.Then its going to get the new black carpet in. :(

Im not painting it yet since im getting really aggressive wheels for it.I am going to have to pull the fenders so I dont wanna mess up the paint.I know its gonna sound crazy but my wheels specs are.....

Work Varianza t1s

19x9.5 +9

19x10.5 +0

They will be here in about 2-3 months.

Here are my seats before all dirty.

And after they got redone.The GT symbol was supposed to be on the front seat headrest but they accidentally put it on the rear seat so I have to take it to get fixed later. :)

    • I used the radium thing, makes the whole parallel assembly a lot more compact compared to any other way of doing it 
    • Racetronix also sells those ethanol content sensor bypass blocks. Adapter, Flex-Fuel E85 Sensor High-Flow Bypass, In-line No Sensor (ADF-FLEX-NS): Adapters - Flex Fuel | Racetronix Ethanol content sensor are originally designed to be on the feed line. These bypass blocks are meant to be ran in the feed line and not return. The continental ethanol content sensors have a 3/8" ID and not 5/16". This is why they are ran on the return line directly in conjunction with a low threshold sampling value VS in the feed with one of these blocks.    Haha we think alike, I used both original feed/return for 8AN feed, and one of the Hicas lines as a 6AN return. I also capped off and left the other Hicas line as a spare. 
    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
