Hi everyone.

Skyline's have been in my head for a very very long time since i was young.start of high school thats when i really wanted one,but couldn't drive n had no money so all i could do was watch videos on youtube n dream all day.

lived in tassie & there was barely any skyline's so it was pretty shyt seeing commo's everywhere ahah

but when i moved to perth in 07 i loved every single one i saw haha let's just say i love nissan for making these RWD monsters :wub:

as soon as i finished year 12 last year,i got a job n started working straight away. my goal was to buy a r33 series 2 gtst:) even made bet with my brother n his gf that i wud get one before i turn 19(so i've gained $200 bucks by just buying one ;)

About a month ago i finally got enough money to buy one. i didnt wana spend more than 12k as i wanted to save a bit of money and spend it on the car.

I was looking for silver in colour,good k's under 150xxx and straight body n as long as engine n interior was good.

After looking for a bit it was all disappointment.they were all good in some areas and horrible in some.

after looking for a bit i ,Eventually I found a r33 I would eventually buy.

96 model series 2 clean int and ext for 10.800 with 76xxx on the clock genuine k's + warranty got passed on to me

good buy i think:) (guy i bought had plans for it but had to sell it as he had his reason's)

relatively stock

Only mods:

-full 3" exhaust to twin jasma tips

-alloy radiator

-fuel pump

-Nismo gear knob +boots

rest is stock

-z32+Apexi pod

-FMIC

-Tial QR or Greddy typre rz bov

-Coil packs

-Boost controller set to max 10psi

-Hiccas lock bar

-EXEDY HD Clutch n maybe get a lightened fly wheel too

  • 3 weeks later...

hey guys i have decided i would like to get some rims

I want something that will sit flush.dont want like camber or anything like that

i don't mind guarding rolling tho.

I have installed a pod filter so the car sounds nice u get that whoosh sound :wub:

I have ordered a Hicas lock bar as i really need it haha!

and a few other gauges n rocket missle thinging for my BC

soon i'll get the fmic installed

I have decided i would buy Rota-G force

these are the set's that around what i wud like

18 x 9.0, 5x100, +35

18 x 9, 5x114.3, +27

what offset would look good ?

Hey buddy,

those wheel specs are a bit funky. Nissans are 5x114.3 stud all round, and you have a 5x100 listed there so it wont fit.

If you want flush fitment, youre looking at around 9.5" wide and +22 offset on an r33 gts-t.

google

'willtheyfit'

Its a website where you can enter wheel diameter, width, offset and tyre sizes as well so you can get an understanding of how different widths and offsets will be in comparison to another.

Go off the basis that 9.5" wide and +22 offset is basically dead flush on an r33 with rolled guards.

Also I was the same, I was into skylines from a very young age, 12 or therebouts and I would also go out of my way as a kid on weekends to go around finding skylines and other imports around town just to get my car fix until youtube came along. Its been a painful 8 year wait but I finally have a 33 gts-t aswell :D

Looks good and sounds like a nice plan man. I assume you're meaning 280hp? Not kw? I've got myself a 33 gts-t series 2 aswell :P Mine made 208kw with essentially the same mods + nistune + aftermarket fuel pump (which you may want to invest in if you're up'ing the boost) + 12psi.

Does your car have a fuel pressure regulator?

As far as I'm aware, no other mods. So no aftermarket fpr.

ohkay

just looked through ur pics

ur car looks nice :)

do u think installing a fpr would be a hard job?

Haha cheers, so much more I want to do but no money :( Always the case. Not a clue on installing an aftermarket fpr, never really looked into it. I've had mine tuned and dyno'd and everything seems fine with my aftermarket fuel pump. My tuner didn't say anything about getting one either. Googled this though, might wanna have a look at it if you're going to do it/get one.

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
