CYK's R33 GTS25T

[CYKr33]

Hey guys, picked up my 1993 Nissan R33 Skyline back in Sept09. The car is basically stock except for Nismo Exhaust, Blitz Turbo Timer, and now HKS Intake.

Here are photos of when i first got the car:



Unfortunately an old lady somehow backed up two houses away into my skyline parked in front of my friends house



Her insurance paid me out and I got the following parts: Set of S1 headlights, GTR style grille, 400r replica front bumper, sideskirts, rear add-ons and wheel arches, and Nismo GTR Clear Indicators and a salvaged re-bar.

Got the front end repaired and decided to do a april long weekend project to fix my roof scrape mark from container damage as well as the damage on my driver door from dumb kids throwing stuff at my car and smashed my driver window while i was driving.....

After all said and done here is what my car looks like now. Still need to fit sideskirts, rear add-ons, and wheel arches and then off to paint...




Thats it for now.

Hey CYK - nice car! I have the same year/model as you, in KH2 gunmetal, with Type-M body trim. What are your plans?

Also, I'm putting together a group ship from Japan to Toronto for GTR rear wings. Not sure where you're located, but if you're interested in joining, let me know.

get rid of the HKS filter and buy a real air filter, either Apexi or something else thats equally proven. Don't use an oiled filter tho.

HKS filters (and trust filters, too) don't filter worth crap, and what's worse is that as they age, pieces of foam (cause they're just foam) break away and disapear, most likely into the turbo

Tis a nice looking 33 tho. Hows the gas mileage?

I have a rear wing that I will sell....

Right just to fit all the parts and get the car painted for now so that i can design some decals for my company and promote my clothing line...
Located in Edmonton, I might have my hands on a GTR spoiler this week but if not i'll let you know.

Thanks for the tip, Gas mileage is actually not bad. Compared to my GC8 that got stolen, gas mileage is way better

I have a rear wing that I will sell....

just the wing but not the spoiler?

Hey man. Welcome to the club. Enjoy the car


As for an intercooler, it seems that the name brand ones do just as well and the knockoffs. I seems that quite a few people run these godspeed ones without any issues

BrianV8 on here sells them and I'm sure he would be able to answer any questions that you may have. The price is right as well


Good luck

[CYKr33]

UPDATE!!

finally its nice out to work on my car,
here are some pics of it now, it still needs some work such as sanding and smoothing it out but i sealed it with primer so i could drive it around..
