I held off driving a family car all throughout my L and P plate times. The skyline was the first car I picked up since I got my fulls and enjoy every minute of it.

Stay safe and enjoy dude, take care of your car and she will take care of you.

I still remember mine...

*wheel spinning in third gear because I didn't know wtf this whole "full boost" thing was.

Haha the GTR was my first manual, still remember dropping the clutch too hard at the lights and spinning the wheels... Ahhh memories :D

Haha same I drove an 88 Toyota camry since I was 16.

Thanks don't ask :) I'm so pumped! I get sonexcited to go to work and leave work now so I can just drive it. :)

Congrats mate - some helpful advice a friend was given when he bought his skyline and he gave me when I bought mine:

1) don't accelerate around corners

2) don't accelerate around corners

3) don't accelerate around corners

take it easy, they are great cars but they will bite you if you don't respect them. I've seen an R33 written off right in front of me by someone who failed to obey the above rules.

I can highly recommend an advanced driving course, it will get you aquainted with what happens when you lose traction. Besides that, enjoy they are great cars :worship:

    • Could someone post some pictures of the factory Jack , tools, spare tire and how they were in a 1998 ER34 2 door skyline originally?
    • UPDATE: Hi all!  As we are getting towards the end of this thread where I’ll showcase final dyno numbers and graph, I wanted to provide an update. Tao from HyperGear has done an amazing job building the custom divided T3 housing for the G30. Communication was flawless, price was great, and now the housing is estimated to arrive in 7-10 days! Very very pleased. I must add, if someone is looking for an affordable turbo and end up reading this thread, I would recommend HyperGear. Genuine brands are the way to go as their proven reliability, predictable performance, and there’s a plethora of information available for specs, flow, and more. This HyperGear recommendation is based on their excellent communication, dedication, and willingness to listen to their customers. I particularly liked their ability to create custom adaptations tailored to specific needs, which is a HUGE benefit over other brands. And if we consider the HyperGear provided dyno results, it adds reassurance knowing their turbos can compete against genuine brands. Next update will be after the dyno!  
    • I've previously seen people post up "dress up bolt kits" for RBs but don't remember seeing them specify the full contents. I can only really suggest you grab the verniers and start measuring, and keep in mind the cam cover and timing cover bolts are both quite specific with a wider unthreaded section where the bushes sit, that will make it hard to get aftermarket replacements which tend to be all thread (set screws) or for longer bolts a flat section with a shorter threaded section at the end
    • I believe there was a similar one posted by @duggyphresh. They were re-routing their battery positive cable in the way I am also trying to achieve. Sorry, I’m new to this forum, so was a bit late to the party by a few months and so reignited the old thread, as I wanted to know how they got on with doing it.
    • Wasn't there a thread on this very subject just a few weeks ago?
