I just bought an R33 GTR V-Spec and I am keen to meet other skyline owners on the goldy. All my mates are out of the car sceen as they cannot afford it. Ive been out for a cruise on a saturday night in surfers and sunday arvo at the spit but no one seems to respect a skyline anymore. Its a shame because they were so ahead of there time in there day. I cannot find anyone talking about where the new cruising root is. Are there any organised skyline cruises? My new toy came from Japan with a heep of mods. It was advertised for 27000 and I talked him down to 21500. Pretty good yeh. I thought so. Any hoo, just looking for people to give me some good advise on what to do next to my new pride and joy. And where to get all those aftermarket goodies. I drive a Red R33 GTR V-Spec with black and chrome 20s. If you see me round then just side swipe me so I know its you (kidding) My email is [email protected] :P

    • Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.
    • I find it funny that the USA is finding out all this really really weird stuff, and people from the USA are coming here treating it like gospel, yet, all the info on solving those issues is here on these forums for the last 15 odd years... Also, I know how much heat it takes to ignite the hood lining of an R33 skyline. I worked it out myself... It also took a LOT of time, and heat for it to do it... Big single, and I needed to drive the car, so retarded the timing off to "protect it". Yeah, that was a bad move for cruising on a freeway with only 15 degrees of timing on it. That was a lesson I learned around 2009. So that's over 15 odd years ago. Aligning water and oil, that's identical for any turbo engine, it's not Japanese specific. If a shop doesn't know how to make sure the core is rotated the right way, then they shouldn't be touching any turbo engine. That's not a matter of "We haven't had Skylines for that long here"...
    • Sounds like it is rotational in the driveline. CV? Tailshaft CB? Also.....didn't you just pay to have that bit painted and put on the car?
    • Yeah, when I dialled my idle down, given how much time I spent idling at the lights in traffic on my daily commute, the effect on overall fuel consumption was absolutely noticeable.
    • Emissions, fuel consumption, heat, noise, etc. most likely.
