Hey guys I'm new to this forums stuff and don't quite understand it yet but anyway to the point.

Next year around may-juneish I'm gonna be looking at my first skyline to buy .

I'm wanting a r33 4 door cause I love the way the rear lights and light garnish looks.

So I was wondering what series I should preferably go for and and why and also how much I would be looking around ?

I know I want 5stud hubs and would prefer as stock as possible if anyone knows of anyone thinking of selling one next year would you please let me know:)

Thanks

Shane

Hey guys sorry about taking so long to reply I have owned a 2001 s15 and loved it but have always had a thing for sedans and rb's so when I found out about the 33 sedan looking so good my heart was set!

Idea was for a daily and then when I buy a house a few years down the track turn it into a drift car

32 4door to old to maintain

34 4door to expensive and hard to find manual

33 not to expensive but still reliable

Also cost wise would be looking around the 10k mark and don't have to much background knowledge on cars as I am a heavy plant mechanic but always planned on getting into performance and motorsports after some time up north

Hey Shane,

Have a read of this thread clicky

This will give a lot of good info to look for when buying a Skyline.

If your budget is $10k, I would look at the R34 four doors as there are a lot just under the $10k mark. In saying that, if you get the R33, you'll have cash left over for mods ;)

      CD009 RB Conversion

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      These are small points I should actually add to my original post. GKtech makes an extended slave line for this conversion. It's what I use, and it works well. You'll also need a CD009 slave cylinder.  S/R Chassis Z33/Z34 Conversion braided clutch line As for transmission sensors, you'll need to both extend the wiring and replace the connectors. I can't recall which is which, but one is your neutral switch and the other the reverse switch. As they are just switches, just test for continuity with your transmission in neutral or reverse to figure out which is which. Connectors:  VQ35 neutral Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties VQ35 Reverse Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties

      Fourth gear grind

      I’ll try and see it could be the release bearing. As for the 4th gear grind maybe clutch doesn’t disengage properly cause it is slightly like very slightly hard to go into first could be due to the slab cylinder pin being short uni clutch is a twin plate.   Ive attached some assembly photos hopefully you can open the link and see maybe detect what’s wrong https://share.icloud.com/photos/0dc2YvW__Hl6jl-l2_0jejjpg https://share.icloud.com/photos/09e0jkWOK-vP48c1cfY6u3ViA https://share.icloud.com/photos/0b4rDmh5R7pK7fb1VtND73a3g https://share.icloud.com/photos/05eeUi_6dC4DVi80jOUYDgb0g https://share.icloud.com/photos/06335TgY1XxyIJal_wkdQLhzw

      Fourth gear grind

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Downshifts are harder on transmissions than upshifts, the input shaft naturally slows down once disconnected from the engine so the synchros aren't doing all the work. There's no "natural" tendency for an input shaft to increase RPM. Something is not right there, I don't have a great answer on what. You can try a dedicated GL4 75W90, I plan to switch to Motorcraft XT-M5-QS which is supposedly a very good 75W90 for NB Miatas which have a weirdly sensitive transmission from the factory. I would chase down why your clutch is making a hissing noise, that's not normal. It might be no big deal but in the absence of anything else to investigate I would look at that.
