Hi,

Does anyone know if I can get roof rakes for my R33 Gtst series 1 skyline.

I need to find some way to transport my mountain bike for when I want to cycling.

Another option might be a tow bar, but as the skyline never left the factory with a tow bar, is this even possible. I have had a look at the underside of the rear end, and am not sure how a tow bar would even be fitted, plus there is the 3 inch exhaust pipe that gets in the way.

So roof rakes might be the only option.

Does anyone know if it is possible to get roof rakes for the R33, and what cost is involved, location would be preferrable to South Australia, but will consider options.

Thanks.

Roof racks would be the way to go. And you can buy cheap kits off gumtree or eBay. Some racks allow you to place the whole bike on top. Some others require you to take the front wheel off and attach at the forks.

Thanks for the reply, problem with aftermarket roof racks is that there is a good chance that it wont fit the r33 roof.

I have rung around a number of roof rack businesses, and they all say the same thing, that they cant help me cause they cant find roof racks to fit this car.

The problem is the frameless windows on the driver and passenger doors.

I did find out that back in the day, Nissan did bring out a factory roof rack system for the R33's (part# G38OVAD00), but that product is next to impossible to find. I will check out yahoo auctions, but it doesn't look good.

      You don’t need to use full throttle all the time to break these blocks, 500kw at the wheels in more then enough to break them even with an occasional squirt. Hell I’ve seen them break under 400kw

      A work around is to install the R35 card style AFM/MAF on the cold side of the intercooler piping and the BOV on the hot side piping. Works well, also you can combat the revs dropping by adding a bit more ignition timing on the idle ignition timing table to slow the rate of RPM drop.

      Understood. If you dont have a ridiculous limit,  Tune, T's and P's are in check, and arent bashing it all the time and doing the due deligence for maintenance(inc oil analysis) then its pretty safe. 100% agree, let your right food control it to some extent.

      So these external kits with the machined block for remote solenoid mount will only work on a NEO head and RB30 or RB26 bottom end   For an R33 head on a 26 bottom end the remote vct kit is to resolve RB26 manifold adaptor plates etc  IF you try to use the remote VCT on an RB30 or RB26 bottom end with an R33 head then  you can starve the cam journal??? I have one of these kits from bits I had years ago before plans changed  I don't understand how that tracks with this video   https://youtu.be/RuPiI22Mplk?feature=shared   This looks like I can run the v termite vct kit to feed the VCT on an R33 head on an RB26 bottom end?!?!?   Lol.... don't v have these problems on RB20s

      Yeah i know that MAF is no no for this type of BoV. The engine has no BoV and "hose/pipes" ..it was all deleted (or probably it was not even on the engine when it was bought  ) It does that "sutututu" noise which i kinda do not want(atmospheric is better IMO...but standalone ECU)  What are the cons of running without blow off on stock RB25DET NEO. It running 5-7 PSI max (it has boost controller)   EDIT: and can Nistune be "tuned" to know there is no BoV to i dont know "know" and be better for a car? I read so many info about no BoV. One guy saying it is bad and hurting the turbo/engine/car and other that it does not...
