Hi everyone...

I just recently purchased a 33 non-turbo..

white mostly stock

it came with the vertex sides and rear..

eres a few pics of what it looked like when i purchased it

i cant complain cuz i got it prety cheap and i had to keep the rents happy by buying a non-turbo before everyone pays me out lol

I hated the look of it so i bought new stock tail lights, s1 stock rear bar, m-spec sides and a 6 inch cannon with 5 inch outlet..

Insides immaculate cant complain

I just have a few problems and things i wana ask

firstly

what can i do to add more power to it... its just got a pod filter, air meter and strut brace..??

secondly

what else do you guys personally think i should add to the exterior to add some more style in it??

i was thinking illuminous skyline garnish but i cant find any around.. would anyone have a clue where to fine them??

would anyone suggest putting an m-spec front??

any suggestions will be accepted

also if anyone interested in buying a vertex side and rear bodykit let me know.. the rear and sides have a few scratched

and im also selling r33 Chrome tail lights.. which i will add a pic of.. there in mint condition

heres some pics of it after i took of the sides..(I still need to take the rear and tail lights off)...

LOOKING FORWARD TO HEARING WHAT PEOPLE HAVE TO SAY :P

Cheapest and most legal way to increse your performance is to improve your power to weight ratio...

Remove hicas, remove body kit, subs and whatever other bling or doof it has.

Get some lightweight rims

There'd be well over 100kg to be saved without getting serious.

A lighter car = a better car allround.

strip your boot interior

take out your spare wheel and jack

like so

and then get defected for not having a spare wheel or a Jack.

As for the thread topic, if you want more power sell the car and but a GTS-t it'll be cheaper in the long run.

and then get defected for not having a spare wheel or a Jack.

1) got told by regency that i dont need to have a spare and jack.

i can be defected if

A) i have a jack and no spare

B) i have a spare and no jack

2) if i got defected , a spare is the least of my worries.

Hi everyone...

sup.

I just recently purchased a 33 non-turbo..

condolences

white mostly stock

it came with the vertex sides and rear..

combine these with fire and youre on a winner.

screw keeping the rents happy. half the fun is pissing them off.

I hated the look of it so i bought new stock tail lights, s1 stock rear bar, m-spec sides and a 6 inch cannon with 5 inch outlet..

i wouldve gone straight pipes. im starting to dislike my cannon.

Insides immaculate cant complain

always a good thing.

I just have a few problems and things i wana ask

firstly

what can i do to add more power to it... its just got a pod filter, air meter and strut brace..??

short answer, LSx.

secondly

what else do you guys personally think i should add to the exterior to add some more style in it??

put the standard mspec kit on, slam it, neat low offset wheels, tint. no rice.

i was thinking illuminous skyline garnish but i cant find any around.. would anyone have a clue where to fine them??

dont. but if you must, ebay.

would anyone suggest putting an m-spec front??

yes.

any suggestions will be accepted

dont bother with trying to get power out of an rb25de. better off taking up cocaine as a recreational hobby. get an LSx if you want power. keep stock aero, decent jap wheels, etc. and dont get graphics.

also if anyone interested in buying a vertex side and rear bodykit let me know.. the rear and sides have a few scratched

and im also selling r33 Chrome tail lights.. which i will add a pic of.. there in mint condition

heres some pics of it after i took of the sides..(I still need to take the rear and tail lights off)...

just clarifying what others are sayin - you _can_ get power out of a na, but for the amount of money you'd have to spend, you really shouldn't go down that road.

If you must keep the na, keep it tidy, enjoy the fuel economy, and at the most I'd go for an exhaust and rims...but nothing loud or anything. But having owned 3 turbo cars now, its not even worth talking performance in a na. They can still be fun - especially in the twisties etc, but you just cant make them go properly fast without emptying your wallet into it.

Goodluck finding a rear Skyline garnish. Rare as all f**k. If you do find one, it's probably broken. I'm also assuming you're talking about the LED one? That lights up the word SKYLINE on your boot?

6 inch canon?! What the fuuuuuck?! That's massive!! Is there any real need for that size? my mate had a 5" system installed on his Cressida (5M engine) and it ended up burning out 2 of the cylinders due to lack of compression because the exhaust was too big.

Turbo cars, the bigger the better. Non-turbo cars... not so much. It's like seeing CRX's or Lancer's with twin exhaust systems... it actually makes the car lose power.

And the quicker you sell those Crystal rear lights plus that rear bar... the better.

needs better wheels for a start.

One problem with that is its 4 stud so there is not a lot of choice with offset

Fix up the couple of things drive it responsibly and later down the track get a turbo variant

    • Sane enough. Remove the roof liner, because the acid will go everywhere.
    • Thanks guys, I really appreciate the help and experienced opinions.  I have spent a lot of my life working on boats so I'm pretty good with fibreglass. I'll take everybody's advice in here;  I'll cut a little more of the 2nd layer away as it's a bit crunchy rust and also it's sitting high now. Then I'll wire brush it all a bit to get off anything loose, then I'll soak the bejesus out of it all in rust converter. I'll make sure to get a little hose piece and feed it into all the holes and gaps between the roof layers. Then I'll fibreglass up the holes.  Then I'll get a pallet of filler and mix it with 3 buckets of hardener and hope that is enough to build up the roof corner.  Does that sound sane? Is one type of filler better than others for this?
    • My goals for it atm are to get it registered, respray and some mild power gains eventually... I picked up the car from an elderly gentleman near the border of NSW and VIC, its honestly a bit rough and looks like its been driven on a farm (because there was so much dirt underneath). Last week I dropped the subframe and emptied the old fuel out + added a new fuel pump (think the old one went bad from old fuel). Now I'm onto fixing a coolant leak at the rear of the engine + adding a new radiator as the old one is corroded. After that i have a new bumper, coils (as the old were leaking) and lots more
    • Welcome buddy! Plenty on here and YouTube. What are your plans for it? Good luck with the Rwc and Rego bud!
    • Love this so much! Please post a photo when you have a bike on the trailer.  I was a little bit worried about having a tow bar on the Skyline, but having it hidden behind the number plate is genius
