Yep... at least it is still a straight-6. You will have a blast.

Hopefully you will get the SL65 as a hand-me-down when he replaces that... :D

Geez, i feel so sorry for you, having to sell your skyline because you have to drive a crappy old 2003 model M3. I'm just glad i don't have to put up with that sort of stuff. My deepest sympathies for you.

But seriously. Good luck to ya, make sure you drive it how it was meant to be driven :wave:

duuuudeee!!! i hate you so much right nyah!! :D

Is she SMG II or 6 speed? Colour? Pics? 19" rims??? :D

That would have to be THE coolest hand-me-down ever. My current car is a hand-me-down too! but it's a '91 Nissan Pulsar hatch, 1.6ltr :( - But i'm stepping up soon as well!

If you're in Melb, make sure you bring her out on a cruise :D

enjoy one of the best engines ever to have graced a performance car :D

Clearly that learning didn't include classes on how to spell though.. but you did learn how to type in an internet forum over the holidays and it was so much fun .. and I could tell all my friends!!!

hey since i am buying my first skylie in janurary r 33 gtst 96 model most likely i was just wondering how fast a standard skylie should run 0 to 100km/h in? how many seconds also i c a lot of people...

mate, you are so full of crap it hurts.. I guess the dream ended before it even begun huh?

Where is this car? You're 12 years old aren't you?

meh lying or not the m3 is not such a great car, we've competed against them a couple of times and kicked their arses with a 33 gtst and teh 31 gtsr.

plus they have the tinniest sounding exhaust I have ever heard.

plus, there's a recall on them to rebuild the engine :D BMW quality eh? NSW Members only: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=52302

or...

"All E46 M3's are now subject to a big end bearing re-call. This entails removing the sump and installing new bearings as well as new bolts and sump gasket. The really funny bit is one size bearing fits all regardless of kilometres travelled. I'm not real sure if this includes the poor bastards that have already had engine changes but I'll bet they are. Glad I didn't pay $130,000.00 plus for such a piece of crap." posted by someone who knows :D

i must agree with you duncan , they are crap . i have seen several put conrods through the side of the block as well as the bearing issue , i guess thats the reason they bust conrods ( they keep drining them with spun big end bearings .

you would expect better when you pay $150k + for a car .

as for just removing the sump and replacing the big end bearings , well what can you say , if the crank is 100% unmarked it maybe ok but in most cases you would have to remove the crank , regrind and use undersise bearings . thats what i would do if it was my car , at the very least pull the crank out , check clearances and if everything is ok then at least linish it .

    • I chose a bad time to buy, at the time there was no gtst's for sale in NSW and my options were qld, vic, or sa and not the greatest examples or too far out of my budget. Ended up picking this one from adelaide sight unseen and got a bit stitched up as you could expect but i dont fully regret it, its just a shame people cant be more transparent in this day and age.
    • IMO just buy a whole R33 transmission and swap the whole thing. Use a palm nailer/air hammer with a roll pin punch to drive the shifter rod end roll pins out. The rod end is discontinued so don't break it. Use gasket dressing on the OEM paper gasket instead of RTV. I personally would not pry on the shifter cover tabs, I broke one trying that instead of just smacking the side with a dead blow rubber mallet to shock it loose from the RTV the last mechanic applied. If you can't get the flanges totally clean and free of any residual RTV and/or you might have a gap that is bigger than it should due to flange damage use RTV on that surface instead of the OEM specced anaerobic sealer. Anaerobic sealer is most likely the right sealant for the job, it's just too easy to mess it up with too large a gap or bad surface prep/roughness seemingly. If you do rebuild what you have it's for a whole gearset that can take high torque. Don't bother with OEM at that point.
    • Little hose. Big hose. They're all waiting to kill the engine.
    • Nice ride, hard to find these days!
    • Full e85 barrell stuff real world for reference if it helps as Ive pushed 2 x sets injectors to limit Above mentioned Bosch 1480cc run on 4 bar base to the apparent 1650cc on rb2.7 yielded 912hp / 684  kw  at 92% duty on hub dyno ID1700's - RB 2.8 ...1015hp / 760 kw at 87% duty - hubber dyno + shown off data on track my opinion IF you change injectors just go bigger than you think you need the modern/ good larger ones run just fine if tuned properly even if way bigger than required even on streeters
