hey everyone im about to buy a new car and i've decided i would love a skyline. Sadly im only on my p's so i wont be able to have a turbo which i will have to live with but i would like to know a few things about the non-turbo version if anyone can give me a hand, im after general fuel costs, any issues with this model car and any other facts that might help me out it would be much apreciated. Im looking to spend some time modifying the aesthetics and anything i can that wont change the performance and cause defects, just for the record im not a hoon nor do i intend on thrashing it i am just a starting enthusiest and just want to crusie in a nice car.

My R34 GT is getting about 400km on a tank, costing $70 a tank. Im guessing an R33 will be the same, seeing as most the parts they use are the same and compatible with eachother.
R33's dont look that great stock in my opinion, just the roundness on em, but there are decent body kits out there that make em look awesome im not gonna lie.

Wings with R33's suck (from the choices ive seen) unless you get a track wing, but thats why i prefer the R34's look meaner.

Mods you can do without defects:

3" cannon exhaust i believe is the biggest you can go its just under 94db which is legal.
Pod filter, as long as it is secured down, i wouldnt put one in because its just gonna suck warm air in, but if you do, mount it in the actual airbox so you get cool airflow from the front.

You can do other things obviously but they are the most popular, also 18" rims are best to start at, cheap tyres that size.

I havent messed with suspension, can be expensive, if your just gonna get lowered springs then that will be worth it seeing as its just for aesthetics.

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
