Hi all,

I have finally purchased a car I have wanted for a few years: R33 Skyline!!

Its an R33 GTS-t Type M Series 1. It has the type M body kit with the factory optioned GTR wing, I think they are GTR skirts?? I am not sure. The car has the following mods: Nismo sports suspension, Nismo fuel regulator, GTR fuel pump, Apexi pod filter, HKS SS B.O.V(not fitted), Turbo back Trust pwr evo II exhaust,

Greddy turbo timer. Japanese 17" rims, Tinted windows, Suspected heavy duty clutch. HKS start button.

I havent got the car yet but I have already purchased for it Nismo clear side indicators and a Nismo grill. The car needs the front bar repaired/resprayed as well but its not that big a deal as my girlfriends brother is a very good panel beater/spray painter, I think we are going to re-spray the front/back bumpers and the side skirts. The wheels have a few gutter scratchers so I will get them repaired. I am very pleased with it. I have some photos but the car is dirty so they arent to good. I just have to learn how to drive it good and how it reacts different circumstances, wet weather, etc. Can anyone tell me how to clean the headlights good to get rid of that murky look or do I need to buy new ones?

Hope you guys like.

Cheers.

Dazz.

no need to replace the front lights

i'm not completely sure what product it was but some guys on a SAU cruise in the ACT were using some meguiars stuff for the headlights. may have been the window washing stuff, worked wonders - made the light completely clear and new-looking again.

just had a look, i think it was the meguiars no smear glass cleaner. i use the stuff on the windows and works wonders, give it a try

Haha, yeah I purchased local, well sort of, Melbourne is about 3 1/2 hours from me! As soon as I get it I will be detailing it!! Thanks for that about the side skirts, I like them even better now, lol.

Thanks 95GTST, I was thinking of going to the Casterton drags but I am not sure yet, see how the weekend unfolds. I will definately be taking the car to the drags, we have an 1/8 mile in Warrnambool but I would rather go over the proper 1/4 to get a proper time.

    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
