Hey :(

I just bought a R33 GTS... and i am absolutely in love with it :(

But like ive herd off a couple of friends "Why even buy a skyline if its not turbo" not to my face of course.. :D

Like they are commonwhore owners.. like vn's.. is it coz i dont fit in.. f**K! im sorry i dont have sagging doors like you guys. geesh.. ... im sorry my rb sounds decent.. i could go on and on..

But yeah i just had to be different and not get a holden liek everyone else.. hell i could have bought like 5 of them.. But ive love'd the shape of r33's for like 5 years now.. Best damn p-plater car ive seen. Like you holdens arnt v8's? or charged... so ha

So yeah, just me blowing steam... coz people cant say what they think to my face... :( Sour grapes i say..lol

You guys have common experiences? Show me some skyline love :)

Nick. :(

lol dw most commodore drivers are like that, some seem to think they;re the top street machine in a dumped vt with chopped springs. even though i drive around in mums VE SV6 black with dark rims aswel, still pretty tough.

JAP all the way though

Haha i have heard that before.

i also have the GTS TYPE S non turbo

After i bought it, most of my friends asked why i bought a Non Turbo and whats teh point.

Its not that fast but its still faster than most N/A's out there.

Plus they look way better than most cars for sure.

lol get used to it from whore owners. i think youl find that your NA will put the smack down on all but the worked V8s haha. Just wait till you see the look on there face when a engine half the capacity in size beats them :)

I was looking at your forsale thingy at school today :) and yah, they look way better, :)

Nothing wrong with a Non-turbo mate, as long as you love your Skyline then it doesn't matter :)

I love it heaps.. i some time catch my self staring at it... just standing there.. then im like.. hey wait a minute im supposed to be doing something.. lol

It's your car, not their's... be proud of you N/A Skyline :) It doesn't matter what you drive, a car enthusiast is a car enthusiast regardless of make or model.

I have the same love my skyline before the turbo as i do after it. :) It was also great fun driving it as an N/A too.. just cause the majority of skylines are turbocharged doesn't make it any less a skyline! I hate that sort of mentality.

edit: speelling

geelong is full of commowhore drivers like that - take a look at eastern beach on a fri/sat night :)

comparing my NA R34 to all the NA commos i've driven (VN, VS, VX, VY), most are auto, and aren't much cop anyway!

Lol, easterns is full of them.. :) . Your from around there?

i love my lil N/A

i chop heaps of shizz all the time - but i dont worry to much about it (or try not too anyway) - alot of the people that pay me out think they are cool for it.....but in the end my girl does me proud - with 18 trophies to her name :) :)

chuck me a NA skiz over a v6 holden anyday

least you can chuck on some coilovers and swaybars and chop up corners

commo's are good for fark all

Soo true, like i used to want to get a classy vx calais.. but my dad was like... "old mans car..."

    • Solid update, got all the downforces now.  You going to be running aus time attack again? love the jacking solution, spend the dollars on what makes it go fast is best way.
    • Back in January, I noticed my car felt noticeably weak. I had the injectors cleaned, which seemed to solve the problem -- until now. Recently, the car suddenly lost power again while driving. Suspecting the injectors, I brought it to the mechanic. He recommended replacing them entirely, saying the current ones were getting unreliable and fiddly to work with. I could not find a direct replacement for my current injectors. The closest match I found were 440cc injectors. This led me to look into the possibility of upgrading -- and of course, that would mean remapping the ECU. From my research I found: The OEM Part numbers are 16600-72L20 and 16600-72L21 Both the RB20DE and RB20DET use the same 270cc injectors. There are much better options out there over the old OEM injectors. Nistune could be a viable tuning option. While the RB20DE isn’t explicitly listed on their site, the ECU is essentially the same as the GTS-T version - just with a different map. The ECU code on mine is listed as supported. One concern is finding a tuner who works with Nistune. Aftermarket ECU like Haltech and Link, but this would be the most expensive choice (and possibly overkill for a mostly stock RB20DE) I admit that I am very new to the tuning scene and would appreciate any insight or recommendations regarding this.   These are some SAU links where I got some of my information from for reference: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380324-rb20de-injectors/ https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/477396-factory-270cc-injectors/  
    • The inspectors are not forensic by any means but if you forge your documents and/or badgings on vehicle parts and are found out, the consequences are just far bigger than if you just run illegal parts. And their job quite literally is to cross reference what parts you got installed and what your papers say you got. Something as silly as your suspension being 1mm too low will fail you. Nonetheless I asked if someone knew the damn pipe and I certainly did not ask for smartassery or underhanded comments, no idea why you need to be told this. Great way to waste both our time.
    • As useful as you explaining what forgery is... But then again, I wasn't aware your inspectors were also forensic experts and inspect nameplates on each component to confirm everything is original. They must inspect roughly 3 cars a year at that rate. You're right though, my comment doesn't help you in anyway, so I'll go talk to my wall now. Cheers. 
    • Say that to the guy that is going to fail your inspection or tow your car for illegal exhaust modifications. If you have anything else useful to say, please go tell your wall.
