Yeah, why dont we hate on S13's instead? God those things are gettho.

cable ties are ghetto!

although SR's sound like tractors, they're pretty amazing 2ltr engines for their age.

Not one damn thing wrong with the R33. When you have three people in a room, two tend to pair off and it makes the other guy feel like the odd one out. Or there's always a scapeboat 'er scapegoat. T

Why so much hate on other Nissans? 33's are great, s13's are great. C34's, r34's r32,s are great. So much hate on S1 burgundy too. My parts car was a burgundy S1 Type M on Enkeis and I reckon It would've been awesome before it was run into.

TL;DR, Can't we all just get along.

The driver lol

Serously the little wing or no wing makes them look horrible , a gtr wing makes them sooo much nicer , no wing they look boring like a camry

stock wheels is a no no that makes the car look lame add that to a faded silver paint and frosted headlights and its not very nice looking , actually just about every car can have a combination of items that makes them look poor , the 33 can look great at least if doesnt have the horrible dash cluster on r32 lol that is a fail on every car that had that style

even the R34 and 35 has to grow on you ?

Being a 33 owner I might be seen as being biased, but I've owned two and they are my favorite line.

But I can see how to many people they seem 'bland'. The series one is ugly as all get out, but I truely do like the series 2.

Of course it does need to be slammed down a few mm's, and some wider rims. But with good stance and offset it can look the goods. The main thing that annoys me is that only the GTR's have widened rear fenders.

I read this and decided I'd take the whale out again and see if I could shoot some bad photos of her....... and failed. :wave: They're gorgeous to me. But the GTS series I wing wasn't.............. great..

I still don't get why so many people seem to think they are ugly, or is just that those who do just seem to be those who would like to tell the world about their preferences in life. dunno.

Still going through my shots.............. nup, can't find any. hahaha

They're not ugly, they're just 'soft' compared to the R32 and R34.

I'd happily swap my R32 for an R33 (GT-R of course).

The story of the 90's Skyline goes (which I made up):

R32 Skyline = Top athlete, smashing competition around the world. Got banned from competing (Group A racing).

R33 Skyline = After the ban, depressed Skyline stopped doing cardio and started eating more junk food, became fatter but still had the muscles underneath.
R34 Skyline = Went through some soul searching, decided to train up to get back to the glory days, became toned up and muscle-y.

R35 = Roids, not a Skyline any more.

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.

      When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
