woo hoo, we'll be able to 0wn silver-arrowz down the straight at EC if he goes for a NA v8! Yay!

My blood boils when I see threads like this.

My friend spoke to an exhaust fitter the other day, he recommended getting a WRX because there are way more R33's then WRX's around.............

Bottom line is: IF YOU WANT A UNIQUE CAR GO BUY A FERRARI. DONT COME ON HERE TELLING US ABOUT HOW MANY SKYLINES YOU SEE IN A DAY.

Two40: I think you need some thicker glasses if you think there are 3 times as many R33's to HSV's. Ohh and I have owned a V8......won't go back in a hurry and I won't be buying some 70's heap that will brake down any spare chance it gets.

My next car will be 6 wheel drive coupled to 2 V8 quad cam/quad turbocharged supercharged air/air/water intercooled fitted to the latest 8 speed straight cut gearbox fitted with 2 LSD ten plated clutch with a .00000001kg flywheel with 30inch fully sik rims and the aerodynamic package of the Williams FW25 with michelin tyres and a supershort wheel base that makes the mini look like a limo! :)

Seriously, I'm going back to basics with the next car. I want to learn control of the car (hint: must have excellent chassis). Not just mash the pedal to the floor.

just my observation. no need to get worked up over it.

tosh, you and me both. as homer would say... hgrrrrrr

silver, i'll have one of those but make mine with a softer clutch. bit of a pain driving it every day.:)

seriously now, are you guys like against newbies comming here and asking questions? Dam sorry if i upsetted you 2fardown, how about you get over yourself.

I'm 18, a young skyline fan that plans on getting one someday. so whats the big deal if I'm askin some "mature", experienced skyline owners some newbie questions?

Staunch,,,,It's all cool buddy,,,you sturred the pot and got a great

reaction.

33's are by far the most common,,,but then again they are the best looking. 32's look dated and 34's only look good in Yellow and Blue. Sorry but Black is just a priick of a colour.

Some might think Skylines are getting more common by the day,,,but the fact remains You can't buy a better performance car for such a small outlay.

don't sweat. you've started a valid and very good topic. some people are bound to get worked up.

good point neil. the value for money was what drew me towards skylines. now if only the insurance would come down by 50%.

i still remember when i got my skyline exactly 3 years ago. they were so rare that when i used to rolled in the city people used to turn around again and again just to see it.

often the reactions "oh my god!!" just came up from no where which made me so proud that i made the right decision buying her.

once and ill never forget on Oxford street i was stuck at a crossing, a group of mid 20's young men just stood there in front the car not letting me go just to appreciate it.

its a shame they are defined as "HOON CARS" these days.

but ill take another or two skylines any day.

R34 GT-R's are still rare, think ive only ever seen 2 on the road, thats after being a skyline enthusiast for about a year or so. Both of them were in the city, 1 in chinatown and 1 on parramatta road. i often see GT-T's tho, but still pretty rare.

    • Hey to anyone that reads this, long time lurker first time posting, sorry if it’s been answered before but I’ve been looking for nearly a year now for answers. ive got a 25det neo in an r32 that works awesome when it works (made 500whp on 21psi) but works 45% of the time, 1st issue there’s a harness that runs under the passengers side front fender that my tire keeps rubbing through and one wire seems to power the fuel pump even though I’ve done the relay “mod” some people like to call it, and when it does rub through it kills the car, yes next time I’m with the car I want to take the fender off and try tuck the harness well out of the way but I’d also like to try and by pass this mysterious wire as well lol, also wouldn’t mind getting power from the alternator as I’ve read it supplies the pump with 13v ? But no idea where to run the power wire too. 2nd issue, when replacing my fuel pump and fuel hanger I managed to break the factory fuel level sender leaving me with no fuel gauge, I’d like to buy the fpg fuel level sender for r32/s13 but the plug it comes with confuses me, I’ve got a detschwerks x1 fuel hanger which has light + pump - level + pump + and a ground, I’m no auto sparky but I’m wondering if I can cut the plug off the fuel level sender and wire the negative to the pump negative and wire the positive to the level positive to get a fuel gauge back ?🥴 3rd and final issue, the reason I want a fuel gauge is because whenever it’s below half a tank, it fuel starves like crazy and runs like a bag of shit even without doing a pull or sloshing the fuel round in the tank, I’d also like to fix this but have no idea what’s causing it, I’ve got a dw420 and a dead head fuel setup meaning the fuel is regulated before it gets to the engine, my only theory is that the return line is to close to the pickup on the pump and when it’s at half a tank the return line is causing the pump to cavitate enough to cause fuel pressure issues, that or the pump isn’t low enough in the tank which I would find strange considering I can’t find a single thing online about it, also if ya wondering how I figured out it happens at half a tank without a fuel gauge, I waited until it started happening and went and filled up and the car took exactly 30 litres every time I tested it, if ya managed to read through this mess I appreciate that and any recommendations , cheers
    • ChatGPT is trash and lies about things I would not expect it to lie about considering many things it's wrong about are very easily verified with google. The S3 R33 GTR shares its steering wheel with R33 GTSTs of the same production year. Part number is 48430-26U17. I'm guessing you have to get it from a car that came with HICAS though, the ER33 is 48430-26U18, but the HR33 diagrams note that part number is still leather vs 48430-26U13 which is not leather-wrapped. They all use the same airbags, so if you need another one you can get it off basically any same year R33 or Stagea.
    • I'm going to run hard lines front to back in the future. That should help dissipate a bit more heat. If not, a fuel cooler might be next 
    • No. The mark is with respect to the cam rotation. None of those things have altered it. When stationary, the cam position stays in sync with the crank position. It doesn't matter if you moved the head 4 feet up. Hence, that mark needs to stay exactly where it is.  
    • Toasty! I was around the same. Around 50 but with a fuel cooler. Got my tuner to dial down the pumps and its so much better.. i think last time I drove it was around 35-40 during summer. PWM makes a huge diff. I have the 1 PWM controller running my feeds.
