Just brought a series 1 r33

As this is my first foray into imports I though I'd jump on here and get some advice from those who know

I know the rims are shit and it needs more low haha but I've gotta get a roadworthy done first

I honestly think that them rims aren't all that bad :)

And for the lowering it, I'm not going to lower my skyline, but only because my dads car is low, and I don't want to get scratches on the bottom from road humps and some peoples drive-ways.

^^^ You might have been witnessing a car theft or the get away from a criminal offence, given that it was in Ulladulla. Statistics show that 32% of all vehicular journeys undertaken in Ulladulla are related to serious crime, another 28% related to the movement of drugs and 12% whilst 3 or more of the vehicles occupants are intoxicated.

Cheers for the feedback guys. Managed to pick up a second hand set of rims for it. I think they are work copies??? Not too sure. Also just got some tein Nr coilovers for it.

Landscribble, I brought it from Hattonvale, about halfway between Ipswich and Toowoomba

Dan I have absolutley no idea where that is so I'm going to say no haha.

Justin, the new rims I got for it are 18's, so I'm obliged to lower it, as it's nearly 4wd spec now :P

    • I used the radium thing, makes the whole parallel assembly a lot more compact compared to any other way of doing it 
    • Racetronix also sells those ethanol content sensor bypass blocks. Adapter, Flex-Fuel E85 Sensor High-Flow Bypass, In-line No Sensor (ADF-FLEX-NS): Adapters - Flex Fuel | Racetronix Ethanol content sensor are originally designed to be on the feed line. These bypass blocks are meant to be ran in the feed line and not return. The continental ethanol content sensors have a 3/8" ID and not 5/16". This is why they are ran on the return line directly in conjunction with a low threshold sampling value VS in the feed with one of these blocks.    Haha we think alike, I used both original feed/return for 8AN feed, and one of the Hicas lines as a 6AN return. I also capped off and left the other Hicas line as a spare. 
    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
