Good Day Skylines Australia,

My name is Sahin (translated to Falcon, no joke!). I live on the Northside of Brisbane where i manage the family business, which of course is a Smash Repairs and Mechanical workshop.

I drive a Nissan R33 Skyline which has been in the family for the last 9 years and am currently on my Green P Plates.

I really enjoy drifting! Please check my latest video on Youtube :)

Couple of upgrades had to be made! This vehicle is running a 4 speed AUTO gearbox which will be up for sale soon.

2.5" sports exhaust

Limited Slip Diff (out of a r32 GTT)

Lower Profile KYB Shocks and King Springs

-working on manual conversion...quite expensive

Retrimmed Steering Wheel (black leather with red stitching)

Stock Dash/Surround resprayed to a nice red.

Kenwood Double Din head unit and Fusion 12"sub & amp Pack.

My plans for the car is basically to have it running at full potential until i get off my P Plates.

-Manual Conversion is my next project

-I wouldnt mind getting the front seats re-apolstered Black with red stitching

-Much later in future will be to convert to 5 stud hubs and wheels. Upgrade the brakes to GTR Brakes

The video was taken at Queensland Raceway and if u have the right gear you can jump on the dry track. Which i cant wait to try when i go manual.

yeah you had pretty good control in that skidpan, especially for an auto.

looking real clean though, i dont see many 4drs that look nice but this is certainly an exception. thought about getting some nicer wheels?

good to keep the family tradition going :rofl:

I don't mind the wheels that i have at the moment but i DEFINITLY have thought of getting bigger wheels.The ones that i want are all 5 stud...so unless i run into a nice 4 stud set that i like, im just going to wait till i can afford to convert mine to 5 studs.

My mum used to drive this r33 before i took over, she now drives a R34 4d auto non-turbo.

Dads got a 06' Gto Monaro sitting in the garage and a 93' 180sx that my younger brother gets to drive as he is still on his Learners.

    • Hi All, I'm based in Sydney and want to get hold of 4 stock R34 GTT wheel caps as pictured. Cheers
    • Haha im flattered! Although my poor boat is collecting dust in the garage, as it hasn’t been driven in like 6 months. I forgot the to put the trickle charger on too, so the battery is likely toast now.. I have the frenchys kit. It is fantastic. My only gripe was that the hard lines from the firewall needed some tweaking, however, this was mainly due to my specific turbo and dump combo. The weight and size packaging is much nicer too. I think I have some pics on my build thread somewhere.. my justification for the kit was more “why not” I had gone to the trouble to modernise just about every other part of the car..
    • Actually, ethanol has probably never been cheaper, on a tax free basis, than petrol. With fuel excise being what it is, and only being levied on the hydocarbon component, not the ethanol component, and ethanol for non-drinking purposes not being subject to liquor excise - E85 was cheaper, but not because the combustible liquid itself was particularly cheaper.
    • Maybe? If changing the cat to a higher flowing cat, caused the turbo to spool more quickly, and those areas of the map had not been tuned for the boost level it is now seeing, then yes you would need a re-tune. How dangerous it is running without the updated tune would depend on how far out the tune is with the now higher boost levels, how the engine protection has been setup, is the ECU compensating with a wideband sensor, is the boost control closed loop blah blah million other things... But yeah having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if changing out the cat for a high flow, in say a full 3" exhaust, made no noticeable difference at all. 
    • Ah yep. I asked a auto electrician about getting a cheap rebuilt alternator vs a new one. He also said he used to it back in the day but it ended up costing similar to what a new one would and recommended getting a new one,.
