My first Skyline

Hey Guys,

I sold the jeep as i wanted to go back to driving cars. So i spotted this and offered him a swap. So now i own this 1998 Nissan Skyline R34 2L na, the fact that its a non turbo doesnt bother me, iv always wanted one of these :)

I dont have any plans to do anything with it, id like to get a nicer set of wheels and some coilovers but im in no hurry to do anything with it as of yet.

The bootlid has been wrapped as the previous owner didnt want to fill in the holes from the spoiler. Ill be putting the spoiler back on.

Yup i checked that earlier deffo says RB20 in the vin plate, but whats confusing me is the 2500 printed on the engine cover :huh:

The boot looks awful without the spoiler so that'll be going back on it. Anna Marie kept asking to drive it, so i gave in and to my surprise the first thing she does is clutch kick in one of the bends!! I nearly died from shock but she done well, lol. I was going through wheels and she reckons that Work Meisters s1's in chrome will look nice on the car, im more so thinking that bronze wheels will look better.

Im on the lookout for a GTT Nismo front bumper, i dont want to fuck up the looks of the car with a shitty kit. Interior wise the seats are really comfy, not gonna be changing anytime soon but i do want Works Bell snap off boss if anyone knows of one around.

Throw an SR in there dude and keep the cheaper tax of a 2.0L as opposed to the 2.5 / 2.6 :)

It says RB20DE on the chassis plate and the log book. Slithertooth reckons that someone put a 2.5 cover on the engine, i cant tell that engine it is :huh::confused:

nice clean car mate, always liked these, can be cleaned up very well and has alot of potential....

RB20 in these are twin cam, hard enough to tell them apart from the 25's

P.S.Set of Enkie's RPF'1s would be cool IMO :p

We were trying out wheels today, I think the nismo's are the better option

Had a bit of time to kill so decided to refit the rear spoiler, and remove that vinyl wrap which turned out to be the spawn of satin, its such a fucker to get off the car!!!

So armed with a heat gun, 1 hour, 3 burns and a burst lip later it went from this.....

Defo looks better with the spoiler IMO. All thats left to do is to get some panel wipe in work to get the glue off the boot.

Yip yip yeeeoooowwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally got her out on the road!!! Took her for a long drive last night to charge the battery since she'd been lying up for a few months!! Its really comfy to drive but there's a hole in the exhaust at the cat (a leaky pussy) Called up to my mate last night for a chat, he's trying to convince me to take the engine out and put in a 2JZ-GE on throttle bodies!! Not gonna happen
