My Skyline

[John1711]

Hi all i am just posting my skyline just to see what you all think??? the only work done on it so far is the rims (20" nothin less ) its only my new project i havnt done alot yet but i am actually after some advice i was going to chip the ecu what its the best? and what am i looking at for price? i have been quoted $1500. The car so far is totally stock besides the rims of course so if anyone knows anywhere good and reasonably price to get mods done please let me know. Also i am really keen to join the NSW skyline club so expect to get a new member very soon i was a commodore man before i drove a skyline ha ha what was i thinking.

thanks

Welcome to SAU dude.

Bit of a step up from a commonwhore to a skyline .

IMHO Don't chip the ECU, it'd be easier to buy a Power FC (complete replacement ECU), or just an SAFC.

Also, lower your car dude!! Your rims aren't to my taste, but hey whatever floats your boat. Just lower it! It's riding a little high. Seriously high

Check out the Forced Induction Performance section for threads on how to get a bit more zip out of your line.

Firstly, nice ride.. welcome to the club..

Rather than re-chipping the ECU - I suggest you look into a Power FC which is a fully replaceable ECU and the results will be as good as if not better than a re-chip.. should look at about ~$1050 for a power fc + about $300 for dyno time + tuning.. maybe more.. some of the guys should know..

cheers,

Yeah thanks i know she is ridng high i am looking into coilovers or something cause lowering is a hasel where i live with my drive way is STEEP i am looking into getting just kingspring lows if i dont get the coil overs oh and replace the ecu that sounds heaps better if thats what you all do?? what is the difference???

Thanks

congrats on the car mate

welcome to the 20" club

with 20s you can lower your car nicely and it will still have pleanty of ground clearance

as far as i knew you couldnt chip R33 ECUs

[John1711]

Thanks 2GU UP your line is hot as i am lowering the car next and tinting the windows DARK and tha ECU love TAX time yeah apparently jetstream said you can??? i dont know too much bout it

[Wink]

I have the same rear speakers as you sitting in my cupboard. Are they any good and worth the hassle of an install?

[John1711]

R33 ecu is quite hard to retune, what they tend to do is use an R32 gts-t ECU and adapt it to fit, however i'm not sure that this goes for SII r33's..

not worth it, when you can get a Power FC..

damm man.... 20" chromes? eww.. hehe Wouldnt want to get a defect

Your car does look very high.. Even mine isnt that high.

Id get king spings or whiteline springs and replace the shock. Coil overs are nice on good and smooth roads like tracks. But when u drive it on Sydney roads.. remember to get a coushin..

isnt that a bit too big??

[Dahtone Racing]

NEVERRRRRRRRRR

[RANDY]

LOL! I moved from my VP V8 Berlina to a black series2 R33... It looks exactly the same as your new car! (except it doesn't have those big heavy rims on it ;op )

[mass_iv]

nice ride mate, i agree with everyone else, lower it first, and get a power FC, u cant chip a series II ecu, and YEH i love the rims...

im considering getting 20" rims, was going to get 19's but 20's sound better

[Dahtone Racing]

mass u want a set of original 20" AMEs?

[mass_iv]

how much, anth? are they ur ones, or can u get some?
