Hahahah thanks heaps :D
There should be more chick skyline/cars in general lovers :P

Yeah i'm tossing around the idea of the GTR badge...I don't want to be one of those chevy badging idiots...but the GTR just makes it look so much better haha

Welcome to the SAU world Brodie! Female + Skyline = :wub:

Your car looks Awesome with those Rims and a GTR Wing will Definately be Tougher than the series 1 wing but please, for love of the God of Boost, don't put a GTR badge on a Non GTR. :/

Having said that, Enjoy your car and all that SAU can offer. :thumbsup:


The headwork is because it is rooted. It was stolen and got completely flogged, everything was damaged or tampered with and is in desperate need of some TLC.
As for the pads, I've had em on her before and apart from the minimal amount of inevitable dust, they went alright..and to be even more on the safe side I have bought the ultra premium pads which offer extra protection against brake dust. You can't stop every particle of dust from settling, just gotta clean your car.

As for the fan....it takes more effort for the water pump to turn the stock fan. Changing it to a thermo, if it's done right and hooked up to the temp sensor etc, is better for my setup as I also want to have it setup to a toggle switch for track days, burn out pads and intensely hot days as she runs at about 74 degrees and then if she starts to get too warm she jumps to an extreme temp too fast. The stock one in it now is a clutch fan, which is shit...why else would most cars be setup with thermo fans?

As for the GTR badge, if the boot lid comes with the badge on it then why would I want to remove a legit part of the car if it originally came from a GTR? Everything is nismo JDM original parts, no crappy knock offs. I know it isn't actually one and part of me hopes the boot doesn't come with a GTR badge cause I don't want to be one of those Chevy badging holden idiots, but if it does then removing it means that I have altered the original part and that sorta sounds worse to me.

Plus in the future I am planning to build a single turbo 26 and add 33 GTR seats...I mean i'd love to have an actual GTR but short of ripping out the running gear and replacing it with a rear wheel drive setup for friendlier slide abilities instead of just hectic launch capabilities...which not only lessens the value but is totally unnecessary and a pain in the ass....I might as well turn my GTST into a GTR replica without the wide body, saves me all the pain of that crap and also saves me from spending heaps on buying an actual GTR.

Not to mention it is customized for me, my style of driving, my drifting...i'm the mechanic and the one spending all the money and putting in the love...if it runs well for me and still looks as good as it does then why change or not change what clearly works for me and the car to something that others say 'MIGHT' be better.

If others don't like what I, a chick...has done to this car or how I look after it then that's their opinion.

I'm only stating facts..not trying to better anybody or come off like a total bitch :P

GTR

just some tips....why all the headwork....you want a better flowing head just put a neo head on it...either way its a waste of time really...dont bother unless its stuffed and needs rebuilding...bendix pads are junk and will dust up those beautiful wheels like crazy...putting a thermo fan is not an upgrade...its actually a downgrade...

ok you lost me now... :glare:

but you're already here.....

Yeah I don't know any other chicks I can even just talk about cars in general lol :P But I was always a bit more out going than other girls haha

Finishing touches for the day

Once you start modding it and playing around with it, you find you are completely broke and that you just can't stop haha..I've spent heaps on her and had it for almost 3 years and I still tinker with her almost everyday, there's always something I can do :P haha

In English layman's terms, how much would you sell the wing for? Sorry brain hurts after work..i fail I know haha

Hey Brodie!
Yeah i think I've met like 3 girls in my whole life who don't roll their eyes when cars are mentioned haha

Yeah I'm so happy with it, can't put the tools down, or my bank card for that matter
SORRY LAND son of rajab ;)

But yeah they're fun cars to play with!!!

Mmm I'd sell it for $500 x 2 / 4 -100 x 3 - 300
;) have fun with that

Hey Aimz I'm Brodie :D

It'd be nice to see some more female skyline owners/lovers :D

Thanks heaps, and Welcome to SAU

Hey nice car, I'm also new to this site and I find it really interesting.
The names is aimz and I'm hoping to find more female skyline lovers out there :)
Good job on the mods!

Yeah yeah I know. lol. See my responses to the others regarding being frowned upon. :P
It's mainly in regards to the fact I want a GTR spoiler and boot lid....if the boot lid comes with the badge I don't wanna remove it as it's detracting from the original authenticity of the GTR...all my parts are authentic nismo JDM unaltered parts and that's how I like it....trust me I don't wanna be a Chevy badging Holden idiot. :P lol

Gypsy cuddles?!
I love gypsies and cuddles...but what do they have to do with skylines? Other than cuddles in a skyline is rather tricky lol

LACHLAN! Leave the poor girl alone!

She doesn't need to be molested in her own thread! Wait until she comes to our thread full of Gypsy Cuddles first!

Hi Brodie, lovely motor you've got there and +1 to not running gtr badges on gtst - it's like chev badges on commos.

As for gypsy cuddles, head over this thread, it's quite informative and educational* once you're in it and you won't look back.

*it's not necessarily true.

And enjoy your stay.

Hey Brodie,

Welcome to the group!

She's a tidy looking 33 you have there. Duck in to the QLD section and say hi to some of the guys.

In the upcoming year we have a motorkhana, sprint day, happy laps and drag days organised. Would be great to see you at a few of these events!

Look forward to catching up soon.

Tony.

Changing it to a thermo, if it's done right and hooked up to the temp sensor etc, is better for my setup as I also want to have it setup to a toggle switch for track days, burn out pads and intensely hot days as she runs at about 74 degrees and then if she starts to get too warm she jumps to an extreme temp too fast. The stock one in it now is a clutch fan, which is shit...why else would most cars be setup with thermo fans?

I'm going to jump in on this here. If you're changing to a thermo fan because it's getting hot while driving, your fan ISN'T the problem. Why do I know this? Because a thermo fan, or a hydarulic fan CANNOT move as much air as what your car can while being driven at 30KM/H.

If it's over heating, you need to find out WHY.

I did a skim of your mods before, but I don't remember them. If you have a new radiator in it, it may still be the culprit, alot of the alloy radiators don't disperse heat properly.

Your thermo may be dicking out.

Your water galleries may be partially blocked.

You may have air in the system.

What's sitting in front of the radiator? Is the air con condensor blocked up with dirt and not letting air through? Have you thrown a HUGE FMIC in front of both of these items and are impeeding air flow?

Big thing that could save you a LOT of hassles, is some simple ducting, force all of the air that is coming through the front bumper bar, to HAVE to go through the radiator. If it's like 99% of the cars around, a lot of the air is able to go AROUND the radiator. If it goes around, it doesn't cool it down.

Also what's the shroud on the back of the radiator (Between radiator and engine) like? Does it have big gaps around it? Cracks in it?

I've been looking at what to do with one of my cars that will be a purely track car only, and one of the things I'm looking at is NOT having any cooling fan on it, it's going to do hill climb/time trials, so there's no sitting for long periods with the car idling etc etc. Moving car moves way more air than the fan will, so it won't be an issue.

Also, if you add more electrical items, it means a bigger drain on the electrical system, which adds load to the alternator, which adds load to the engine also. Just that it's even less efficient then the hydaraulic fan.

    • All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.    
    • It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.
