Hi guys, I've recently made purchase to a 99 Skyline GTX 34 Vspec non turbo with no spoiler. There are a few things I would like to do to it, but just don't know where to start and where to look, can you guys give me some advise? Car is in stock condition. I live on the coast.

1) Full body kit and where? What choices do I have? Cost?

2) Exhaust - what kind and where?

3) Upgrade immobiliser to an alarm, how much and what brand?

4) Stereo - want to upgrade the stereo system cos it's factory. Want to put in some speakers and maybe an amp or two, but totally don't know where to start, please advise. (prefereably Pioneer or Kenwood)

Thank you :)

peace ;)

Ok guys here it is...please go to My Webpage and check it out in one of the photo album.

;) Due to my negligence today coming out of Chevron Renaissance in Surfers, I almost run over this pedestrian. He is ok, and unharmed. In return, I got an ear-full of swearing (I deserved it) and worst of all, a few light dints on my Skyline's hood... *cry*

Ashmore ey... think I've seen your car, very tidy.

;) really? thx

mongoose isnt such a bad alarm, just depends what you willing to spend.

:) I was originally thinking of Viper, but then I've heard they don't make Viper Alarms anymore...I don't even know what brands there is to choose ffrom as a matter of fact ;) Know how much it usually cost to upgrade the immobiliser to a full alarm system(any brand)? If not, who should I speak to about it on the coast?

thx for putting up with my 20 questions :D

i'd also advise against advertising the brand of your alarm...just gives potential theives more info on what they're working with.

Saying it has an alarm is enough imo.

if that pedestrian damaged ur car (even if you were in the wrong) I would have run the prick over...there's no need to take it out on your pride and joy

was the pedestrian on a pedestrian crossing?

I think you know where I'm heading with that question.

Also are you dead sure thats a GTX V-Spec.

Coz you have the GT-T wheels and a front strut brace.

If you have the GT-T front brakes and suspension as well, your car is a GT-V.

I could be wrong, just overly suspicious/curious at what I can gather from your pics. <_<

No, He wasn't on a pedestrian crossing. I "nudged" him at an entrance to a car park.

;) I am pretty sure it's a GTX Vspec. That's what my papers saids. Unless I am illiterate. Other than that, I am not so sure with Skylines. :unsure: How do I check it out?

Ask someone who has the Nissan FAST software (like me) to run your VIN# for you.  From all the research I've done I haven't come across a GTX V-Spec but like I said I could be wrong.

:P sorry but isn't it rather dangerous distributing your VIN# around over the internet? :blink:

      People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now.

      George's R33 GTST build

      By pogman · Posted

      Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.

      They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.

      I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
