Hey guys,

Been on the forum for a while now and will be selling my old ride to grab a R32 or a R33 skyline. If anyone knows anyone selling for around 15-18K could you please let me know.

Went for a drive in a R33 GTS-T which a saw in the Quokka on the weekend, the add read as follows:

"SKYLINE GTSR R33, 1994, manual sedan, 6 mths lic, new brakes, big stereo, fast, must sell $15,500 ono. Armdle. 0415-069-***" GTSR??

Anyway, me and a mate jumped in so the guy could take us for a test drive, first corner he powers all the way to 170k in a 50 zone and just stops the thing before the main road, then we head to a round about and he drops the clutch in 2nd and starts fish tailing it, after 3 left-rights he loss’s control and smash's a curb and a keep left sign which bends the left front wheel in and smacks up the front end around 4-8K damage, Now who would buy a car after the owner goes and does that? I know that the RB25 has power you don't need to kill me to prove it. (also had a huge head acke for 2 days after)

Anyways i thort id ask on the forum so that i mite find a nice skyline with a sane driver, Sorry about the rant guys.

Cheers Chris :thumbsup:

Ahahahhaha, pure gold :D

On this subject...there's a custom painted purple 32 for sale atm, just a warning...i don't think you should bother. From what i could tell, it used to be non turbo and they've converted it (even though it still doesnt feel like a turbo) and no permits...the looks is the only ok thing...but then again the paintwork is dodgy (there's huge drips on the side skirts). Too low to get on the hoist so cant give specific details. Steering wobbles like a mother over 100kmph.

It seemed so dodgy. i seemed to know more about the car than him and i dont own it. Possibly he was playing dumb...the guy seemed cool but --->

"the boost controller isnt working at the moment"...

"ok, so where is the boost controller I cant find it..."

"i dont know...."

:whackit:

    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
    • Regardless of neglect or incompetence, fixing either is tedious and annoying. Most of the neglect on my car is definitely rust. I hope I can at least pass inspections later on and they won't fail the car due to slightly corroded hardlines. I was generous with rust converter and wax and it looks ok, most lines in the rear are hard to see properly anyways.  Definitely will test them though to make sure they don't rupture under pressure, in that case the car isn't going anywhere this year.
