    I wanted a nice mint condition Skyline R33 S2 but its hard to get one from Australia since too many ricers already wrecked them So I decided last year to import one from japan.I have a Mate from whom I imported a Toyota Chaser jzx100 a year before.

    Specs of the car I imported

    Make:Nissan
    Model:Skyline R33 GTST Series II
    Year: 1996
    Engine: RB25DET, 2.5 Litre Inline 6 cylinder
    Aspiration: Forced Induction/Turbo charged (intercooled)
    Transmission: 5 Speed manual

    This is what I got initially.I drove car from Customs to my backyard.Pretty much stock! As you can see it was in really nice condition with 62000Ks on clock

    It was bit used but who cares so I got it installed myself. Used my mate's garage to lift the car

    Sorry I used Phone's camera color looks funny

    The next job was Turbo Timer, There was one already installed but hidden under the steering column which took me abt 4 months to figure out.I was trying to instal Apexi turbo timer but It wouldn't cut off the engine.

    Then I found out it was something fishy going on. I opened the steering column and HKS turbo timer dropped from there I plugged in the wire in that and it worked!

    thats how I fixed it and that my car right there.

    I also installed aluminium Gear knob and racing pedals kit ;)

    Last month my next project was to paint the break-calipers and wheels to black .

    ive had 2 different ones they all leaked. make sure!!! you do a boost leak test!!! check from the trumpet side, the piston. and also check the gasket between the bov and flange.

    are you gonna weld on the adapter or do what i did before. i stuck a rubber hose between the flange and the nipple on the intercooler piping. welded it now.
