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..."

    • Half anticipating the next question then: I have two magnets stuck in my oil pan. What should I do? 
    • If it's magnetic what is stopping you from using a magnet on a thin wire from fishing it out?
    • Those 2 solenoids in that assembly I mention, are the PWM solenoids for torque converter lock-up clutch & EPC (line pressure control) ~ when most folks hear of 'solenoid failure', the tendency is to think electrical failure...but fact of the matter is, especially wrt the EPC solenoid (which is moving/running all the time), you can have an electrically 'good' solenoid, that's absolutely broken/worn out mechanically inside...ie; valve plunger return spring rubbing against spring retainer plate, lowering preload pressure.. ...and the solenoid armature extension limit spring wafer with bad wear/broken off petals... ...and if there's ever been any metal flying about, damage to the valve plunger end itself... ...the stuff one never really sees, unless you go the whole 10yards trying to answer the question "why is my line pressure screwy, but TCU isn't flagging any EPC solenoid fault?"...and carefully dissect the solenoid. Worst (and most probable) scenario is when the plate spring petals break off, they get held by the magnetic flux, get mashed up by the armature into little bits, which end up in the space between the armature & shading core bore, and things get stuck or randomly jam up, and your line pressure goes flat and doesn't change...and the TCU never sees it, as it doesn't actively monitor LP... ..then it gets into insidious land, if you end up with lower than expected line pressure...lets say high clutch..and the lower pressure causes it to slip ~ when I say 'slip', think say 2000rpm on the drive plates, and 1800rpm on the driven plates, because the slip is making them under-rotate by 200rpm ; you get all the usual nasties like heat and band/clutch wear, but even if it's only 20rpm slip the same thing happens...and... you'll hardly ever pick this up driving the thing with the torque converter active as it effectively masks these sorts of slippages that are line pressure related ...(the newer TCUs can detect clutch slip rate)...just  FYI as it were...  
    • There's nothing that some paddle pop sticks and extra cable ties can't fix.
    • Hey guys, so Golebys has good prices on Bosch injectors, and also sell an adaptor to go from 1/2 length injector to standard with the Nissan 10.5mm top seal.  Does anyone know if that adaptor is to suit the 14mm or 11mm injector tops?  And re. The bottom seal, to suit my standard RB20 intake, would I be right in saying I can just slip the 14mm square section O ring over the bottom of the new injector and done? Thanks in advance guy, Cheers, Rowdy
