Hey guys.

My names Lucas and for a quick run down I'm 18 , I'm aalmost a 3rd year mechanic and have always had a love for skylines since I could remember .

About 3 weeks ago I purchased my first skyline which is a r33 series 1 . Rb20e -.- pretty lame but due to p plate laws in new south Wales. Don't worry though eventually that will be gone .

Then last week I parked the car out the front of work tosee a truck reversing out of a driveway and managing to collide with the my driverside rear quarter panel . The driver who was unable to speak very much English tried to tell me the quarter can be unbolted from the car and replaced . After much argument he gave me all his details. And now to this day his still refusing to pay his insurance or the damages as he believes he can repair it himself. So I will be organising a court day for all of that.

As for upgrades and my expansion path from here. I want to achieve a nice daily streeter over a track car. So for now it will be mainly getting everything to look the part.

Ideally I would like to Atleast

- full gtr kit

- gtr seats

- s15 yellow respray

- 5 stud conversion with big brakes .

But as I can tell it will be quiet the same as my old s13 . Was ment to be a mild build and ended up being a monster .

Car details

Year : 1994

Model : r33 series 1

Transmission : stock 5 speed

Suspension : tien adjustable coilovers all round and Whiteline racing rear sway bar . On Roh shit non guard filling 15s Lmaoo

And that's about it . Hopefully have a few updates soon and I'll throw some photos in later including damages

    • It sounds like the perfect time to do easier tasks like, work out how to pull the headlights fully apart, clean them inside and out, and make them meticulous... Or lose all the clips, f**k up polishing the lenses, and get frustrated with that job while you can't do bigger more fun ones and wind up with no usable headlights...   I mean... What?! 😛
    • @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lipomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, more time to contemplate rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣  
    • I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia. 
    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
