Hello

[WHAL33]

Hello all,

My name is Alice. I was lurking for a while so I decided to join.

I own two Skylines at the moment: R32 GTST and R33 GT25T.

I have no mechanical background and never worked on my cars before. But since I've got my first Skyline a year ago, things changed. I still have a looooong way to go but it is fun. I have some plans for my R33 this winter and may be will open a build thread to document my progress.

I am obviously slow since I just found the newb intro section, so I repost here pictures for R33 that I already posted in the photography section

Thanks!

The 32 was my last winter project to prepare the car for some track abuse. Stuff like full fluids flush including 5.1dot brake fluid, new brake rotors, ceramic hawk HP+ pads, roll cage, interior strip, hicas delete+ lock bar, fenders roll to fit wider wheels, Tien coilovers, stripped her to bare metal and resprayed, a/c delete, new radiator, front strut bar, bigger injectors, LS coilpacks, new spark plugs, some interior bits like aem boost gauge, racing steering wheel...lots of work, blood and tears lol but was worth it because she was through autox, drifting, circuit and various general abuse and she took it in - no problem

The 33 is my this winter project. It already has Tien coilovers that I took out, cleaned the rust, adjusted to stiffer setting for better cornering and repainted with rust paint. She's got some fender roll and alignment, LS coilpacks and new spark plugs, full fluids flush. The engine and a turbo still stock. So the plan is to build her as an enjoyable hardparker. I plan to strip the paint and respray it to make her pretty. Most likely will get a ghost pearl paint. Interior stays fully intact, no roll cage for this one - this car will not see the track, may be occasional drag strip pass. I plan to build it a bit up to 400HP. She will get new rad, front mount intercooler, new turbo, new injectors, new engine management system and new brake rotors. I dream of Volk wheels but probably not this year...

is the 32 a dedicated track car?

if so, thought about deleting the abs?

[WHAL33]

Neither came with abs so less work stripping.

[luke gtr]

fair enough.
