Hey guys, joined the forum quite a while ago, my name's Manny, when I first got my license I had the intention of purchasing a R33 GTS-T, but the turbo laws for P platers wouldn't allow me. So I bought a 1990 CRX siR. I have loved Skylines ever since I saw my first R33 GTR in midnight purple when I was 8 years old (about 12 years go) My brother drives a 2000 R34 GT 4-Door, Non Turbo, AUTO! Anyway, in the next few years I'll be saving myself some coin and one day own a R33 GTR V-Spec of my own :) oOh, and If anyone wants to do a photoshoot with their cars just PM me

Here's a pic of my CRX

nice car, I used to be a Honda boy. Had an 89 and 94 Honda Prelude. Both were great cars to own and if i didnt have the need for power and rear wheel drive I would probably still have one. Where in melb are you from?

the CRXsir rocks the casbar, id take that over a non turbo skyline any day. Yours looks rad as well. Get a b18 block and bump the compression up to about 11 it will hammer. Looks kinda like a friends car who did you buy it off

btw dw bout clutch hes the worse sounding human on the planet..

The siR is a nice car, don't want to spend anymore money on it anymore, pretty happy with it for the moment, but I am starting to save for an R34 GTR. I bought it off an elderly enthusiast that lived in Ringwood North (Melbourne) 3 years ago. It was stock all round. I'll get a few engine shots up soon

    • 350/370Z CD005/9 seem to be a good choice, but you'll need to address the diff ratio issue.
    • Brand new r34 gtt box 
    • What is the go to gearbox these days for a RWD RB? Back in the day VG TT boxes were cheap and strong. Seems they are as expensive as an RB25 box these days. What are the options without remortgaging the house? 
    • Define "Nissan big brakes". You just mean standard R34 4 pots? And...it's not even the offset you need to worry about. It's really a detail of how much clearance there is between the caliper and the back of the spoke/face, which is affected more by the design of the spoke than it is by the offset. If you think about it....take any wheel, say a 19x8 that does fit and clears the caliper. Then add or subtract an inch of wheel on the outside, without changing anything else. You have changed the offset by half an inch, but not changed the clearance situation at all. Same for if you add or subtract an inch from the inside edge. The way for you to work this out is to take a wheel off the car, grab a straight edge and a ruler or two, and start to measure the distances from the wheel mounting face on the hub to the outer face of the caliper, and the outer diameter (that faces the barrel of the wheel) of the caliper. Armed with these dimensions and any other measurement that grabs your fancy while you are there, you can then go to the seller of the wheels and do the reverse measurements from the wheel's mounting face and see if there will be clearance to the caliper. There really should be. I have 17x8 RPF1s +35 clearing the caliper face by a finger tip. Those wheels do have pretty thin spokes with some curvature.... but then so do most wheels to suit Jap cars.
    • So I’ve got a r34 sedan that I managed to get green stickered, meaning I need to go through government approved wof station for my car to be allowed back on the road for some reason my car is certed for 19x8 rims.. I need these wheels  does anyone know what offset will be fine to clear Nissan big brakes? I saw 35et for sale near me, I can’t drive the car to test fit or risk being fined ..   I searched heaps online couldn’t find anywhere..
