Hey All.

[Daleet]

G'day everyone.

I joined SAU a few months ago, but haven't posted anything until now.

My name's Daniel, and I purchased "syx"'s R33 in July (Jimbo's old car to those of you SAU veterans).

I have to admit that I don't know a stack about the mechanics of a Skyline, but I do know that so far it's been an enjoyable ride! I'm keen to learn more, but I don't check forums heaps, so you'll probably see me on only now and then.

Cheers,

[lawler]

Hey man nice 33.

Got much planed for it?

Hey Daleet.

Welcome, I am in the same boat as you. Little knowledge, but a desire to learn more.

[Daleet]

Cheers.

It's got a few mods Lawler, I'll paste them below - all from previous owners, so nothing that I've added myself. I'm a 4th year Uni student, so money is tight and that means I've got no massive plans for it as yet... definitely enjoying it though. If I were to spend money it, the first thing I'd do is completely fix the paintwork as the car has been seriously keyed on the roof, bonnet, and drivers-side door. The previous owner had it touched up, and some of the SAU'ers may have seen it at a previous 'Dyno Day' at Boostworx. I've got quotes for it, the cheapest being around $2300 or so at a place on South Road.

Anyway, here's what I've been told of the mods... to be honest, I wouldn't be able to tell you what half of this stuff means.
