I am currently on my L's and getting close to my P's, i'm looking at getting a Skyline R33 for my car, i'm in Queensland and the law says no turbo vehicles, so far i haven't found a non-turbo R33 for sale but i was wondering if the car comes with auto as standard if that would be ok to drive and if not then would anyone know a non turbo version for sale, preferably white and under 100km's.

Thanks in advance

whilst skylines are great fun i would take the time to do some reading on this site.. mainly the FAQ's and technical sections as this will give you an idea of common problems etc.. I would suggest getting a cheap 4 cylinder daily until you are off your P plates. r32's and r33's are getting quite old and can be a headache if the car isn't in good condition.. If money isn't a problem then go for gold.. Just don't be like most P platers in auto non turbo skylines who think they are boy racers..

I agree with defari, buy a nice economical 2 cylinder and put the money you save on fuel, rego and insurance away. then when you come off your P's you have all that money to get ur GTS-T and put some mods on it. also you dont want the cop attention, especially when ur on ur P's

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
    • Twas your car many moons ago that gave me the idea!
