Newbie Saying "Hi"

Demon Dave · Jan 5th, 2003, 06:16 PM

Just wanted to say Hi to everyone.

I'm a British Skyline enthusiast, currently living in Japan. My current car is a 1995 R33 GTS. Hopefully one day I'll be able to change that "S" into an "R"

Anyways, here are some pic of my wheels for anyone who's interested:

Stay Happy

Thanks for the comments.

It's only a GTS non turbo, so it isn't particularly fast. But I'm happy with it.

I'm currently running on Bridgestone Potenza Dagg's

The fronts are 235/45/17's the rear 265/40/17's

I was bored one afternoon and decided to paint the writing on the tyre walls - I dunno, I've always been a fan of American Muscle cars from the '70's and they always seemed to have painted tyres!

hehe, good call. Love the GTS, perhaps one day you could do the motor swap to the RB26 Twin Turbo

. But love the car no doubt.

Or like me - a 10 day vacation to see my girlfriend ended up turning into permanent residence!

Love the place.

Hi There,

Just an update - I no longer drive the Black R33 GTS. I decided it was time for something with a little more power

The replacement is this R34 GT-V in Bayside Blue. It's no GTR, but its a step in the right direction...

Cheers

Looks very good Dave . . . GT-V, that's a variant I hadn't heard of - what engine is in there?

Cheers

The GT-V shares it's chassis and components with the GTT, including uprated brakes, suspension, HICAS etc but it is non-turbo and fitted with the RB25DE - the Neo Strait 6 version with VVT and it pumps out 200PS in standard form. It's not as quick as it's turbo'd brother, but it is no slouch either.

Perhaps in the future I might add on a turbo, but at the moment I'm happy with the performance it has. It is certainly a lot quicker than my old R33 GTS.
