Default Nissan Skyline R33 S2 Japan to Aus

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

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

I also installed myself a HID kit 6000k's since its a Japanese car .

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








I used High temp RED spray paint for break calipers and MATT black Engine enamel to paint the wheels
