Hey All !!

Finally after many years of wanting, i have finally gone and bought myself my first Skyline - R33 GTS S2, ok ok so its not a turbo at this stage but im very very happy .. Im sure many of you would have said it yourselves after buying your first Skyline ' Why didnt i do this sooner '...!! Anyways Im not massive in the car tech knowledge stuff but im really keen to learn more about these awesome machines, so im sure you will see my random questions filter through from time to time.

If anyone wants to drop a line and say hi, pls do so ill be sure to reply.

Cheers

R

Hi Nissan lovers

I own a 2000 RS Four V Stagea series 2 fully optioned not modded as seen in my pic.

Now I just want to go cruising all the time as i live near the hills but needs friends with taste and class

like Skyline and other Stagea owners. I have worked as a volunteer for the Classic Adelaide Rally and

have stage notes hehehe and I've trade marked the CARave. (car-rave) were you go crusing to a quiet spot and rave

on to the beats from boots of cars :iluvff: Happy New Year to all

Hi R , Welcome mate - SAU , are you going to service it yourself , any probs give us a holler !!!!!!!!

Cheers. Not Sure!

I'm a major newb :geek: . i thought I knew it all until i actually bought a car with a snail (lol)

in the past all my mates had turbo's but i bought a lancer with a evo 6 bodykit :stupid:

mildly worked I got 88kw atw, was fun till a chick pulled out in front of me and cleaned

me up. Just had surgery on my shoulder and feel great after three years of agony,

now i want to go fast again its an addiction.

I bought a manual boost control (bleed valve) and a boost gauge but when I open the bonnet they dont just magically

go were they should :blink:

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      Like a Stagea, but not as cool! Hope you have enough garage space for this, or is something going to leave to make way for it?

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      By PranK · Posted

      The new project has arrived. I have wanted one of these for such a long time, well before that meathead Clarkson drove one in Africa. I really wanted an E34 but I have some medical issues that mean I *really* can't bump my head and the lack of airbags in the E34 made it just too big of a risk.  I don't know why I've always liked these older touring BMW's to be honest, but man I love this car. She's been pretty well maintained for her 243k's with what appears to be only a single oil leak at the oil filter housing gasket. It has a bunch of updates including later model bumper and headlights, 7 series billion-way adjustable seats and it came with a few spares and another set of wheels with legal tyres. I got a unregistered car permit from the RTA and drove it back from Canberra on Saturday.                   First cab off the rank is cleaning it up for blue slip. I dont know how picky they'll be but I figured I'd clean the headlights, fix the oil filter housing gasket, replace the speed sensors (throwing errors) and swap the OE wheels (the M Sport wheels have a big chunk out of one of the tyres.) I also need to replace all 6 gas struts - 2 for bonnet, 2 for hatch and 2 for hatch glass. The car tries to eat me whenever i open any of these. My plan for this car; Ultimately, this is a budget car. I can't afford to throw lots at it and its because I have another car that I got this, if something breaks its no big deal. I will just maintain and repair it really. But eventually I want to do a manual conversion. It actually looks pretty straight forward for E39's and the trickiest part will be sourcing the parts.  I do need to replace some suspension arms or bushes because wow, she's a floaty old girl. She's also fantastically slow. Like really, really slow. When pulling back out on to the freeway on Sat after a quick pull over I needed to wait until no cars were visible before going.  Oh, and the guy I bought it from had a gorgeous R31 GTS-X in the garage.

      R33 gtst gearbox top barb

      By Duncan · Posted

      Do you have a picture? I assume it is a breather for gearbox oil as it expands, it should have a vacuum line run nice and high in the engine bay (R32 GTR has it on a top bellhousing bolt)

      R33 gtst gearbox top barb

      By zigrb30 · Posted

      Hi all, I am putting an r33 gtst gearbox into a VL and have noticed what looks like a vacuum barb on the box (on top in the middle). Suspecting that it's a vacuum line but I'd like to double check, if someone could confirm the function of that would be great. Cheers in advance.

      I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though
