Hey people my son and I cruized past in our blue r33 gtst tonight. I am a noob and have never been to anything or posted before.  I would assume that it was you guys out the front of super cheap at about 9:30pm?  I was going to stop and say Hi!! but my son was a bit nervous to get out of the car (He is 17 and thought you guys looked a bit dodgy  haha?.) We have only had the car since december and have been working on it flat out every weekend. So after 2 months and about $3 grand it has finally become a reliable vehicle.  I would like to be involved with the drive days cruizes and what not. I have wanted a skyline ever since the domination of Gentleman Jim and Skaifey in the R-32 GTR winfield nissan group A touring cars and have finally entered the realm of the NISSAN. Any feedback would be appreciated.

P.S. I am old and crummy at the interweb thingy.  Since we have got the car we have done.  Enigine oil and filter,  fuel filter, Brake fluid bleed and replace, gearbox oil, diff oil with ford l.s.d paste and tons of figure 8's, full new 3" s/s exhaust with 100cell cat and 2xmagnaflow mufflers (i fabricated this), replaced front brake pads and discs (apr slotted), 4 new tyres, lifted the ride height, new coil packs and plugs, new radiator, outer tie rod ends, front castor arm bushes, Re-worked intercooler piping, fitted catch can, new pod filter, replaced snapped turbo studs, inner diff boots, re-wired under the dash, modified the throttle cable and bracket, New gear box boots, New rear speakers. etc.etc. My back is very sore but it was worth it.  Looking cool and going fast that's what cars are for.  My son and I have done nearly all the work in the driveway at home.  Madness!!!

Awesome ! Mind to share some pictures of your car ? :)
Looks like a great night last night, Sorry I couldn't make it. We'll organize something after Race Wars.

    • I haven’t taken them out of the cases yet    inside the box is this packaging which is pretty much like a massive blister pack 
    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪  
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
