Hey Guys,

I have been a member of SAU for quite a while and had many imports. All on the S chassis and one Cima. Now I have just purchased this which so far has been by far the best buy.

It cost me $3000 and i organised a legitamate road worthy which it passed first time with no defects. So all up and into my name it has cost me approx $3300.

I bought the car and it had:

Advantek 18" rims

brand new yokohama tyres all round

HKS 3" exhaust

Drift Pod filter.

within about a week i have already purchase a set of JIC coilovers, and removed the HKS exhaust and made my own new rear section as the HKS one was very quiet and I really wanted to bring out that RB note, Also the HKS rear box was very heavy and as i want this to be a track car predominantly this was the main reason.

So here a picture of the exhaust i made. Which was actually made out of 3 S15 3" front pipes which i cut, welded, cleaned and painted.

I've also removed the HICAS which I will post up photo's later.

So far this is all i have done but this weekend i will be removing the front end and removing all the A/C and I will also start to remove all sound dedening etc.

The main focus of this car will be drift and track days.

I will soon be installing a Diff which is a little bit different to most. As i work for ARB i will be installing an Air-locker in the rear. as this will be excellent for drift whilst also making it daily driveable. I also have them in my landcruiser and love them.

I will keep you all upto date with the progress.

Cheers ben

Interesting choice.

Do Airlockers need some sort of air compresser to run?

If not, how are you going to feed the air into locker?

Any benefits over LSD besides that you could get them at staff prices?

well today it all began, the motor has come out and the engine bay stripped. Ill get some pics once my camera is up and running.

Ive marked all the wiring that is going to be stripped out. im looking forward to getting stuck into it during the week.

As for the airlocker mate, the main disadvantage to the airlocker is that you do need to remove the LSD and install the airlocker as its a complete centre and will then make it a single spinner when not engaged. The Air-locker does need a compressor to activate it, The compressor i am going to put in there weighs just on 1kg and is a 62ltr per min compressor. Which means it can also do tyre inflation when at a track to play with pressures. As this car is going to get driven also on the street the last thing i wanted was a 2 way as i wanted it to drive nicely and not so agressive when around town.

Heres a link to website for more info if your interested.

The rear diff in a skyline is the same as a front diff in a D22 Navara V6 current model

      Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.

      gauge needle removal

      I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want.

      R33 GTST Axles

      Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.

      R34 Speedo not working after manual swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder

      Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
