Hi,

Haven't got a 'line yet. Looking at getting one. Been ordered to come here and say hi :)

NJR 34GTT.. you said there's a lot of 'lines available in Canberra at the moment.. I've found some on Allclassifieds... There's about 2 - 3 that fit what I want there. I'm after a R33 GTS-25T as close to stock as possible, don't mind if it has rims and/or exhaust. I'd just prefer to know what I'm starting with. :) Oh.. and I don't want a BOV.. they don't help the engine powerwise (don't they just release pressure that could otherwise be used??!)

Anyway, where else should I look? Man.. half the problem right now is I've never ridden in one before. So like someone else said.. it's hard cos ur always impressed by the first one ur exposed to ;) Closest I've experienced was a mate who dropped a Twin turbo Soarer engine in a Cressida. we took it out on the highway near hall and he let me floor it *gleeful smile at the memory*

I guess what WOULD be kool is if I was able to take a look at one where it really didn't matter, e.g. it isn't for sale *hint hint* ;) Then I can at least compare.

Anyway, like i said, GDAY Canberran Skyline lovers! ;)

you can come and look at my mums r33 if you would like i can take you for a qwick blockie, as it would be a really good car to get a first impression of. It is really close to stock only having an exhaust and 18's, and its in absolutely pristine condition I have actually never seen a cleaner stock example, we have had it 4 years and when we imported it, it had 42000kms with log books, like I said its a really cleam example and something that would leave a good impression. PM me if your keen I work in Mitchell and the cars there also during the day.

I can vouch for s13drifters mums car... only seen it once, and that was going on 3 years ago now but it was immaculate... definately the cleanest r33 gtst I have seen.

Take a few for drives if you can (go to dealerships, dont just joyride private sellers cars) and get a feel for the car. Other than that, if you got some transport at the moment, come out to the National Museum at around 9 - 9:30ish on a Friday night, thats where alot of us meet up. You can check out rides, talk to owners, and maybe someone will be nice enough to take you for a drive.

Oh, and welcome :P

Sorry I have to have a chuckle at the BOV comment. Nearly every turbo car has one from the factory but they are generally plumback type instead of the aftermarket atmospheric ones that you are assosciating the term BOV with. :P

A BOV prevents damage to the turbo and is something you should have.

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
