So Team,

Pulled the trigger and updated from the very much loved 'Sonic' the 4 Door R33 GTST.......................

And purchased yet another 1996 Skyline (to much head shaking from my Wife!).

Picked it up here in Canberra, as it is really clean and had a good build list base to have plenty of fun in.

So what do you do when you buy a new Skyline the day after you buy it?

Take it straight to the track of course!

On the wettest day in Goulburn history.................................... Was fun in a new car though:

Give me a wave if you see me!

^^ Yes, it has obviously been looked after, and TBH I really didn't have to buy it, but I see so many crap ones about that if the right one pops up, grab it. Wanted a 34GTR in BB but couldn't justify the extra $35K.

So, it pretty much has everything done,if you were rebuilding a car, but it has a few issues things that need changing.

Firstly it's running god damn rich... Took me about an hour to clay bar the rear bar after the track day.

So, I'll throw a Haltech, injectors and a decent pump in and an E85 flex tune, while i'm at it.

The -7 Turbos a bit small but are near new so will persevere with them.

Thanks Shaun. She's a beaut. Can you please confirm it has stock AFM's? Looks like it but not 100% sure.

Also, can you remember the flow rate of the fuel pump? Looks like it may be pretty close to maxed as well.

Oh the other thing, are you able to adjust the rear shock dampers like the front? and if so how do you access the knobs?

Cheers,

James

You coming to the track day on 23rd? Be nice to see it then.

Probably!

why on earth did you buy my sway bars James, nice upgrade!!!

Yeah, itchy feet. The guy that bought the 4Door has a nice set of swaybars. Made a huge difference to the body roll.

Oh Ok. How much? Miight be a baindaid solution though. Depends on what ESP come back with price wise for the Haltech.

are you going E85?

IDK how much, don't know if i still have them, but if i do i can let them go pretty cheap. I can have a look if you think you will need them though.

Yeah its just a speed of the streets day.

IDK how much, don't know if i still have them, but if i do i can let them go pretty cheap. I can have a look if you think you will need them though.

    • I believe mine is helical and not clutch type. During drifting one wheel was spining as if it was open diff so bought kazz 1.5 way and has sat on my shelf for the past 5 years as I want to learn shiming process and do it myself   in meantime thought I change the diff oil hence post here. So any 75-90?   i am pretty sure r34 are helical not clutch lsd as standard . That is gtt ones
    • Throw between gears are so much that is getting annoying. I have pro short shifter on my mx5 and e36 and love it . Skyline is getting unbearable    would syncro issues and short shifter is no no? Anyone mind explaining a little on why before i buy cube
    • No. Well, some people "seem to use redline shockproof in the diff". Most do not. I would only contemplate it if you have badly worn CW&P gears. And no. No-one in their right mind has ever put ATF into a diff. Any normal diff/gear oil of the right viscosity will do. Whatever takes your fancy. Castrol, Nulon, Penrite, Redline MT range. Whatever. It's just gears. 75W-90 or 80W-90 is typical. I think that GL-5 is hard to avoid these days, although I think that a GL-4 is probably preferred, given the vintage of the equipment. At least Redline offer a number of GL-4 oils. If you have a clutch type LSD instead of the VLSD, then of course you need a proper LSD oil. Anything from any of the same names above. If you have a helical LSD, then it does not require LSD oil, and the recco is the same as for the VLSD. You don't want the LSD friction modifiers in the oil for a non-clutch type LSD if you can avoid it.  
    • You may want to list it up for a little higher - This price is much lower than you may realize. Here you're pretty much selling to people who most likely already have these things on their own rigs. S chassis people eat this stuff up like you'd not believe.
    • I had my car for over 10 years and done around few thousand miles but never changed the oil. thinking of changing it.   what brand and viscocity would you put in ? people seem to use redline shockproof in the diff   on  contraty seen others using atf dexron 2 or 3 so wanted to check. is it 1 liter?
