Hey everyone, happy new year!

Okay straight to the point, I brought a skyline 4 years ago when I was 17. R33 GTST. I love up in karratha (north WA), I brought the car from Perth, over the phone. I had a mate go look at it for me and he was blown away with it. So being 17, I brought it straight away. Stupid I know, but anyways... It was a complete LEMON! My first drive in it, it started over heating, 4th crunched, after a few months up here in the heat the second hand paint job went to shit, all the mods were backyard jobs, it has 2 12" subs that always drained the battery! Out of the 12 months owning it I drove it for about 2 months...

So basically I'm after another skyline, most likely a r33 GTR! I still love skylines and said one day I will get another!

So here I am, just signed up on this site knowing that there are very knowledgeable people here that can give advice!

Like I said, I live in WA, so I'd like to buy from WA saving costs for transport from over east ect!

In anyway can help me look/find out that would be awesome, or any tips idea ect would help!

I'm not interested in taking it to tracks or anything as there isn't any where I live, just to drive me around town and to and from work will do me! So something that isn't to to work and over board on fuel!

Thanks for reading

Mitch

There is a thread somewhere on the forum that is a buyers guide, it will be a massive help for you

If you're not confident to look for yourself I would find a workshop that specialise in imports and take it to them to inspect (for a fee of corse)

      Rb head oil drain dimensions

      By Papichulo96 · Posted

      Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By Zabuza · Posted

      Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, your RB20 ECU loom won't have wires for the boost solenoid, that boost sensor, and possibly one or two other things. There could be differences in seemingly random things like the charcoal canister purge solenoid, because the 25DET has to handle boost in the vacuum system and the 20DE does not. I don't know - I haven't looked. It is very likely that all the most important things are same-same, being the main sensors like AFM, CAS, etc, and the injectors and ignition. Not that you'll need the AFM for the Haltech anyway. I would suggest that you would seriously want to sit down with the pinouts for both ECUs and just go through them and highlight green what is the same, orange what is different/missing, and make a plan from there. It's not going to be difficult. It will either be the same or need to be fixed.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By Sxnjeet · Posted

      yeaaa that's why I haven't done any wiring to the stock ecu harness because I have the haltech, but then that leads me to the other question of "is the pnp harness really plug and play?" or would I have to still switch some pins/wires over because the pnp is for the rb25det neo harness, and not for the rb20de neo harness. was really hoping to find something to spoon feed me since so many people have done rb20neo + t conversions, but man this is rough.
