Hello from a wet morning in Scotland.

Been a Skyline owner for about three and a half years now after importing one directly from Japan with less than 6,000 miles on the clock. It's a 40th anniversary edition R33 GTSt automatic, with very few mods;

Ohlins suspension

K&N panel filter

Powerflow cat -back exhaust

Nismo strut brace

American Racing Torq Thrust M Alloys Fronts: 17 x 8 ET 30, Rears: 17 x 9 ET 45.

It's my daily driver, so wears a few battle scars. Which, one day I'll get to sorting out, but for the moment I'll just keep adding miles to her.

I use to love driving my R33, but since developing a fault with the auto box, it's now driving me nuts. To make matters worse, I know where the fault lies, but I can't get hold of the part, so I'll be giving MV Automatics a call tonight (morning for you guys). I hear you highly recommend them for auto box work and advice.

Let's hope they can help me too.

See you on the forum thumbsup.gif

In the meantime here's a few pics of my baby:

    • Hi All Does anyone know what size bolts are used to mount the bonnet hinge to the bonnet on an R32 GTR please? I'd usually just buy them OEM but they are nearly £20 each and I need all 4
    • interestingly enough, i found out the answer is yes. doing a flush did fix my recurring A/T light. it might have been because of the trans filter: but that doesn't really make sense to me. the fluid/filter was super dirty. would that increase the pressure in the lines and trigger an A/T light? does the car even have a way of detecting that? i have no idea. i've done 200+ miles after the flush and no A/T light. if my A/B solenoids went bad, i would think the light would've come on. shifts and drives way better now though...at 2k rpm instead of 2500...no hesitation and downshifts when i want it to. 
    • I vote go red. Only because I hate keeping gloss black clean. Was no worries helping out either! Glad you've survived the rain outs of QLD
    • I would again like too thank Matt for his help in me sourcing the detachable hard top for the little red car, without Matt's assistance in inspecting it and locking it down, I can guarantee it would have sold before I could get up to see it,  and as that was the only available NC hardtop in Australia, I consider myself extremely lucky on multiple levels To say I'm more that happy would be an understatement And, it is 100% water tight, I drove through torrential rain coming back south, and by torrential, they type of rain that doing 40kph in a 110kph zone was a real thing, and even then, the standing water on the Hwy was deep enough to throw waves I'm also more than happy that the huge "BEASTS" that Matt calls dogs didn't eat me for lunch, I'm sure the sniffs and licks were more to "taste test" me, over being to friendly Now to work out what colour to get it painted, panel match, or gloss black........first world problems are real
