Got my R-33 GTS-t today!!!:flash: :flash: :flash:
It is bloody brilliant! I have never know a car so easy to drive, and so quiet at speed ( though never more than 70 m.p.h. of course!:bandit: ) It is in superb condition, I even have Skyline car mats in mine, and it looks like the previous owner looked after it very well! The looks did seem to annoy the driver of a jaguar, who was following about 5 c.m. off my bumper...until my foot slipped on the accelerator pedal!  Why don't we have a U.K. GTS meet? Anyone know any other GTS boys out there? Cheers, Philip.:frog:

limiter
Tinduck,
You aren't to far a way from me, Im in Solihull, Birmingham, Trying to arrange a meet next week with R33 GTS-t. If you are interested let me know. You seem to be the man regarding limiters Mine has KLH and 180 the max, would this have a limiter, It's a R32 4 door non-turbo. Regards, Pablo

Hi there Paul/Pablo....
....a meet would be cool...gotta be after Monday 26 Nov (next Monday) though....car is awaiting fitting of long-awaited heater matrix....undriveable at the moment..... G-sport is pretty local.....Philip seems a distance away though....any suggestions for a "half way" meeting point that we can all agree on?? .....dunno about the limiter though....what G-sport says seems to make sense, but both of my Skylines have had 180mph speedos, and both had limiters..... ....4 doors are cool....here's my previous ride.... laters, Jon.

limiter
Jon(Tinduck),
Where did tinduck come from?. The speedo on mine is 180KLH, not MPH, Does this make a difference, also do you have pics of your recent gem?. Will arrange with R33 GTS-t for another week then, he wanted to meet at Grafham Water in Cambridgeshire. Mine was imported personally form japan. Drop me aline when you get chance. regards, Pablo

....the original dials read 180kph (=klh).....if you have had what is basically a dial kit fitted to make the dial read up to 120 mph, then the 100mph limiter will still be there....but as G-sport was saying, if you have had a reduction thingy fitted, and just a sticker put over the kmh/klh bit to say mph, then you will never reach the limiter in theory......but as your car is still in kmh, then you will probably still see the limit at 100mph or 160kmh.......
......clear??  ....pics of new turbo coupe imminent... ...as for TinDuck....you gotta work that out yourself..... (think fast turbo fords) cheers dude Jon.

limiter
Jon(tinduck),
I get where you are coming from regarding tinduck!!!!. I understand now about the limiter(finally sunk in...boy that must have been painful for you!!!!!!). Must get together somtime, would be nice to get a middle england meet somewhere. Must now try and sort out getting rid of this limiter!!!!!.....now what was it again.!!!!!!!!. Is there any real gain in a non-turbo Skyline getting rid of the limiter? Respect

U got it Jon, I knew someone would understand what i was trying to say soon enough. Maybe i should have explained about the speed limiter in more depth.
I'm always up for a meet and try to go to the gtr ones when i can, anyway must go know off to santa pod as it's the last day this year today. G.

portsmouth jon
as for the limiter on jap cars it should be set at 112 mph. ure speedo should read in mph now up to 180 its against the law for it not to , should of been done when it was sav tested, generally when they do this they remove the limeter. u can get it done anyway. abbet motorsport south london, middlhurst st hellens , hi teq wigan , option motorsport near silverstone . are a few skyline specialists. if u need 2 know anything e mail me [email protected]

Hey G-sport, I was at Pod too! Attached is a photo of my car, did you see it?
By the way, I am meeting Paul Palmer at Grafham water on Thursday, is anyone else interested in turning up to make this a mini meet? Cheers, Philip.
