Hey guys and girls!

Thought i'd chime in and say hi. My names Drew. used to be on here under another user name but had problems with it so decided to make a new one seeing as I've found my way back into a skyline after a couple of years toying around in a little MR2.

Here is my new 32 Gtst. Its very basic. Coilovers, kinugawa turbo, full exhaust and lots of little things taken care of. Have only had it almost 3 months now but about 2 weeks after getting my hands on it a few friends managed to convince me to enter NSW Time Attack at Wakefield. So a quick chat with my dad (read: Crew Chief) and it was all systems go! Installed an oil cooler for good measure. Grabbed some new rims, CST Hyper Zero's in 18x9.5 +15 all round and chucked some 255/35 RSR's on. Then off we headed for 2 days of track time. We decided that instead of going out with the mindset of 'I need to win' I should think about nothing more than getting on track in the new car and having as much fun as possible while doing it. In my little N/A MR2 my best time round Wakefield was a 1:14.5. By the end of day 2 at time attack i'd managed a 1:11.1 so came away extremely happy with my new PB.

Anyway, enough of me rambling. here's some picks of my new toy and also one of mine and dads cars together. He's got a 32 Gts that I gave him a couple of years back. 220,000km on the clock and it just soaks up the track days with no issues at all.

Thanks for reading. Hope to catch up soon.

Thanks guys :)

Looks impressive man. Wish my dad had the same passion for cars :(

What wing is that?

Wing is a genuine C-West adjustable twin blade. Managed to pick it up for $50 lol. Dad had a spare bootlid with the holes welded up so we mounted the wing to that and i just swap bootlids when i head to the track.

1:11s in damn impressive on rsr's.

quite a tidy car

Thanks :) I'm a big fan of the rsr's. I'm confident i can dip into the 1:10's in the next track day or 2. Was so close at time attack. Forgot to mention the car only has about 195rwkw :D

Nice, Ive got some RSR's to go on my boat

But less tyre and more weight mean 1:14s are my target

I saw that you're thinking about front splitter/undertray options, any luck with that? Me and dad are also starting to design something for the front end of my car to try and bring the times down a little more. Basically trying to keep my car in line with clubsprint time attack rules because i'll be back at NSW Time Attack next year and will also be looking to enter WTAC next year

    • Don't do it if your gearbox box has already having syncro issues. The short hifter will put a greater load on them. If you must I remember Nismo did a shorter shifter, with the top part being physically shorter and the part that went into the gearbox was the same as stock. In saying that I've had a C's short shifter (I think) in mine for many years, which was given to me as the previous owner was not sympathetic to the gearbox. Thus forwarned I was careful and had to modify my normal changing style. You have to be super accurate with your clutch and shifts
    • Well, after a week of daily driving and having to crawl out between the wheel and the side intrusion bars. I got myself a quick release setup. I went with an NRG short hub and Quick Release with some cute heart cutouts on the pull tabs. Nice and matchy matchy with the rest of the interior accents I have going on.  The only downside is the total stack height even with the short adapter is longer than the old HKB boss kit. Luckily I had some adjustment left on the column so move the wheel away.
    • stock shifter with new bushes, springs and cup will improve it. Gktech do all the bits. The opinion as the years have gone on is the redline is not great in old gearboxes.
    • Hi all   what short shifter do you use on your skykine r34?   my synchronous does have a problem and i was getting huge delay and grinding sound between 2nd and 3rd, did put shockproof red heavy stuff and it is great now/ no issues   would in your view short shifter screw this up?   people seems to suggest/ use cube short shifter and there is standard and premium. Seen review of premium as much better and less play. Thoughts?
    • Yeah, there's a bit of a density and friability difference between pebbles and any of those other things. Silicone will definitely float in oil and so will be mobile enough to move around. Although, again, if it is upstream of the filter it really shouldn't go any further. I would only ever worry about silicone when it is in places downstream of the filter. Upstream of the pickup is a whole 'nother matter. We've all seen what that does. I have seen the most abominable crap settled out in industrial gearboxes, trunnion lube systems and the like, without any sign that any of it has touched anything in the machine. Just chilling in the bottom, waiting for the inevitable operator error that causes the whole machine to need to be dismantled for repairs.
