Hey Guys and Gals.

Hows it going.

Im Tyler.

17yrs old. Yes still a p plater.

I have a 1994 R33 gtst. Love it and guard it with my life haha.

Yes im only a p plater but my dad and I have an attitude where stuff can sit around and be built into something special when im allowed to drive it.

We bought it about 6months ago and the engine blew up on us. So its in getting a forged engine and turbo upgrade ecu etc etc.

Been in the shop for about 2months. Going to be used as a weekender or fun car and occasionally taken to the track so I can give it a hard time.

Instead of blowing tonnes of cash on the car why not save up and buy a house and move out? Sorry for the sensible suggestion.....

Why are you going for forged pistons? Have you seen how much power stock pistons can handle?

My dad and I already have money for a house. We are just waiting till the right time and place comes along.

We only paid $3,500 for it. We knew the engine was gone.

It was running 25+psi we knew that was gone.

Its at the shop in Blacktown Nsw Meer Motorsport.

Mate this is my first post I hardly know how to use this whole site thing yet....

Don't stress about it. People on here get nervous about others doing the wrong thing by the licencing and road laws when it comes to Skylines. So maybe choose words carefully with that in mind.

Build threads are kept here.

    • What can't be done with a little bit of decking board or similar timber bolted to a hub flange via 2 wheel nuts is not worth talking about.
    • I noticed something. On the tps sensor and the sensor behind the adjustment screw is adjusted towards the far left. Are these screws supposed to be centered? (this sensor was in the same position before the tune as well)  Also attached a photo of where my car usually idles at when warm (sometimes a tiny bit above that). I think I might have screwed up the calculation and it might have better than I thought lol at 750rpm still not 650rpm though.      
    • So for both general interest of engine health, and to rule out any coolant/oil issues, I organised an oil analysis done on the 125,000klm oil Results below, all good, just a bit of fuel dilution which I'm not too worried about
    • This is actually a really good way of measuring what wheels fit. If only there was a similar measurement between hub face and suspension :p That said, it's probably pretty simple to actually measure it all with the wheel off the car for the rear. The front is a bit more complex but.. 
    • Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
