Got my new beast today :)


Recommended Posts

Hi guys

I just thawt that i would mention i got my new R33 today so if you see a red GTS crunching gears and doing 360`s in the middle of the road please give way cos i am new to it.

BTW its my first manual car and im told that the 18 pounds boost is pretty savage.

I hope to see you all around on cruzes and such and please c`mon over and say hi :)

Hi Lee .... welcome to the warm fuzzy world of SASA.

Even though I don't won a Skyline myself :) .... I nearly did though - does that count?

I only have a crappy little S15 ;) .... check it out at My Site

Got any pics of your ride?

btw be very careful at that sort of boost if you've never driven a manual before .... best of luck and look forward to meeting you at the next cruise.

Welcome SPOOLIN (Lee) Nice choice of car, & colour too!

I'd be a little cautious about running 18psi boost unless the engine/turbo/intercooler etc have been set-up to allow this!

If your car has already been modified to cope with 18psi then ignore the above warning & smile ;) 'cause you've scored a good one mate :uh-huh:

Nightcrawler,

Saw you & your beast on Fri'/Sat' night (can't remember which?) @ the lights on Grand Junction & Sudholz, we were in the family mobile (green 5dr RAV4) turning right from S into GJ. Can't miss those plates of yours mate :)

Lee,

You've sure got me interested now mate :uh-huh: Can you give us any idea on the engine mod's?! Like the turbo it's running :)

You're gunna' have to come along to the dyno day on the 12Oct' then ;)

:)

Lee,

I am new to the world of skylines and manuals as well.

I bought an R32 GTS-4 about 6 weeks ago.

It won't take to long to pick it up, just take your time to start with and don't rush your gear changes.

Hope to see you out cruisin.

Woohoo..........:)

Ive just come back from a few hotlaps (well slow laps actually) around the block and the beast is still in one piece *yay*

Hmmm......enigine mods....Well i dont really want to give too much away at the moment until ive seen the car make the power myself. Oh and if i say too much no one is gonna line me up at the lights:( but i will say that the (OS Giken triple plate clutch) is a bi*ch for slow speed takeoffs.

As for the dyno day i will do my best to get there but it will depend on how my driving is coming along :)

Lee

You'll probably find there will be others on the forum with the same gizmos fitted to their Skylines. All you need to do is find someone with the same bit of gear & ask away :) Assuming they know how it works!

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
