I have recently acquired a stock R33 Skyline V-spec...
it's pretty worn out from 107k kilos..
i'm wondering what kind of maintenence I will have to do to get it into decent condition..
there's some rust around the brake rotors and the exhaust.. so those are my first 2 parts to replace..
i'm thinking about replacing the brakes with a stoptech kit
i haven't found a compatible kit for the skyline.. I'm considering a custom kit with a 3 inch downpipe??
the next thing i plan to do is respray it with 2 tone paint.. 1st color Bayside Blue 2nd color winning blue/ daytona blue
there are some holes on the front grille mesh... so i'll be replacing that as well..
I've also heard that turbos with that kind of mileage and a ceramic bearing tend to fail...
the vehicle already has the following mods when it was delivered:
FRONT & REAR ADJUSTABLE STRUT BRACES.
ADJUSTABLE REAR SPOILER.
A-LSD
AFTERMARKET "NISMO" 320km SPEEDO / TACHO.
RS START" SPORTS ECU CHIP.
TWIN PLATE CLUTCH.
AFTERMARKET SUSPENSION SPRINGS
AFTERMARKET "HID" HEADLIGHTS.
PIVOT TURBO TIMER.
KENWOOD" STEREO/CD
So what do you think my next steps should be?
i'm thinking about replacing the turbos with the nismo r1 turbo kit
maybe a cold air intake?
intercooler??
any suggestions are welcome... all i want to do is to make this skyline street friendly with a bit more power than a stock one..
