Just joined up and expect to have my R33 on the weekend. Looking forward to catching some of you guys on cruises etc. Btw can anyone recommend a good place to have an R33 looked after. I plan to do alot of work to the new car and would like to find a good workshop who can do the work and keep the car in tip top condition. (Someone that can work on PFC)

Look forward to meeting some of you guys in the future.

Welcome to the QLD SAu community :)

Depending on how far you are willing to travel but theres a few places. Theres Gavin Woods - Autotech (www.autech.net.au) down the coast at Labrador that many forum members use or there's Mercury Motorsport (www.mercurymotorsport.com.au) over at Wilston that are a sponsor of the SAu QLD club. I personally take my car to Gavin and have been for the past two years. Never had a problem. There are a few tuners around the place. Gavin Woods, Mercury Motorsport, Matty Spry, just to name a few.

A great way to meet some of us is to attend the regular thursday night meets which are posted in the events section or the Cruise out west which is coming up within in the next three weeks. Also, the next Massive Skyline Cruise will be held by the end of this year.

I'm going to use my psychic powers to discern that your last car was an SR20det 180sx relitavley modified. Now you have a white series 1 1/2 r33gts25t with worn handbrake boots and a steering wheel that looks slightly worse for wear. The car will have approximatley 85-90k "genuine" kilometers on it despite the wear on the steering wheel suggesting otherwise. I see a front strut brace and a cat back exhaust, i think it's an HKS super dragger, and stock rims that will soon depart. HOwever I'm happy to say that in my vision I can't see any roll cage holes.

LOL nice guess Charly. My last car was a 180sx with a few mods. My other half is into v8's her last car was a VX2 Clubsport R8. I have always liked Skylines and ready for a new project.

New car is a 94 R33 GTST with 65k on the clock. R400 body kit custom paint. Engine has catback and pod filter and was told GTR injectors and fuelpump. Going to do all the standards add ons like full exhaust, FMIC, PFC and boost control.

don't forget the front mount. we'll have to have a look when you come out to see what else your car has. Also if you want flames you'll have to smack out your cat.

If your preference is for mountains I would also reccomend some aftermarket suspension.

      A few other things to round out the chassis mechanical checks. Diff is nice and full of new oil, pretty sure it is Castrol VMX (I run the same on Award's recommendation). I didn't pull the cover to check, but I'm 90% sure the diff centre is a nismo mechanical (old school, not the gt pro). Gearbox is also nice and full of fresh oil, not sure what it is but not redline. Tailshaft bearing looks OK and a tailshaft loop is in place

      Front lower control arm is standard with new ball joints, tension rod looks like JJR spherical. Front upper control arm is standard with adjustable bushes in the outside end     Rear arms are all nismo, surprisingly all the bushes at either end look standard but in good condition Subframe has standard bushes with lock collars HICAS has a lock bar with standard ball joints at the hub end

      Next, shocks/springs/swaybars It has Sydneykid valved Bilsteins with HKS pillow ball hats all round. Springs are Eibach race springs on adjustable height platforms, with helper springs in the rear to stop rattling. These are 250 all around but easy to change for something else if required. Swaybars are powdercoated blue but would be Selby's/Whiteline solid adjustables, 21mm rear and 24mm front. Bushes and links in good condition All in good condition, no sign of leaks/damage etc
