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

    • Update:   smoke test all pipes no issues cleaned reservoir   fluid put in ( dexron 3 atf)   steering turn side to side and could hearing  gurgling from steering rack which I assumed was air lock, opened one of the steering rack connections and could see loads of air getting pushed out( not sure if you meant to do that / whether it will re introduce air into system)   anyways, loads of side to side sound was gone. Turned car on, pump was slightly ( barely) wining so turned side to side few more turns and fluid level when car on was almost none in resorvoir which I guess is normal if car is one. Turned car of and fluid was gushing out. Almost 200-300cc was pushed out. Repeated engine off side to side followed  by engine on and same result       going mad now. It seems system is either sucking air in whilst on or there is tons of air which I am not giving it enough time to bleed. Thoughts?   would it work like brake caliper if I open steering rack copper pipes and let gravity pull all air out?   or maybe have a restriction somewhere? What is the red circled item, could that be blocked? It i
    • Yeah, the plan is to just put some black rubber vacuum line caps over them to "hide" them a bit I don't want to trim them in cause I need to put the OEM box back on at some stage
    • It's a load sense idle up valve.
    • Plug and play. Need a tune. It's a PowerFC, same as any other PFC, just not needing an AFM.
    • Genuine GTR seat? There are none you would actually want for <$3k a pair.
