  1. yeah it came witha 6 month warranty lol but the guy knows me well he will fix it regardless yes there is some water in my rear right indicator ill talk to him about it tomolo thanks Al!
  2. hey just got the car and its already showing all the common symptons skylines have 1. driving for a while and when going at low speed the whole engine just cuts off and hicas lights turn on aswell as the other red lights. steering wheel loses power steering. have to stop and start engine again to make it go away. ive read threads of same problem but can't find a general solution? 2. Left light doesn't turn on till i accelerate sometimes 3. cabin light flickers like a strobe light when i open car door sometimes. 4. one of the red lights in the dash flicker on for a micro sec when i'm turning. dunno which one but ill find out tomolo. and i got some general questions. the oil pressue guage i assume (the one on the lower right of the dash), what is the normal value it should be at? and what does oil pressure mean? what happens if it is low or high? i opened up the boot to look for hicas and i find the battery and some kinda white translucent plastic box with all these wires coming out of it and next to that stuck on the parcel shelf is a metal box. is that the hicas? and is there sposed to be jus one metal box? where can i find the ecu? i read you can pull it out and it shows a lil led display which you can set certain values? and how long does it take to reset ecu? unclip the battery at the back right? and then press on the brake lights till it diminishes? and then connect it all back up and start her up and give her a good run? sorry about all the questions guys. i'm jus curious after reading this forum for so long and just want to get full use of my beloved skyline. hehe thanks

  9. lol yeah tell me all the danger spots!! i give you one now for free glen waverly station carpark do not assume it is flat it is a freakin ramp
  10. rofl dats quite lame
  11. Can't wait inark, but still gotta settle some minor details first like insurance and then I'll be all set Yes of course! they barely let me get the car you know! hehe actually I didn't pay for it, he said he would change it for me for free but i guess he didn't have any left, but damn my wheels are shocking, gotta repaint them. yeap that was most likely me in front of that chinese restaurant near lucky cup. i left when this woman gave me a greasy look. very uncomfortable. im not going there again. eh? how do you weld plastic? i dun think i can do it myself. prolly get someone to do it. how much would it cost? is it cheaper jus changing the whole front bar?

    geez sell and get a real 4wd, gtr style
  13. lol chef you know the one yeh? bloody hell the pain hit me slowly afterwards grrr i will remember that ramp
  14. i know but i can live with it its jus the parents i have to handle it was bound to happen anyway i see alot of lines with the same damage as my bar lol
  15. yeah i told the guy to put it back to stock spring height he only raised it a bit how much does it cost to fix a front bar?
  16. yes finally got the car but damn the guy didn't put a 400R bar on for me, jus a normal gtr bar, guess he forgot but oh well. enjoy but some really bad stuff happened. the shock is still sinking in went into this carpark at glenny station and connected to it is another car park. looking straight on it looked flat, BUT it was infact slanted like a hill and i didn't see it. End result cracked front bar already. Pretty bad, i'm quite depressed about it being first day and all. The front is too low, it scrapes too much, even in driveways, its about 12.5cms off the ground. sigh is there anyway i can get this without changing the springs. i can handle the damage and live with it, but i just dunno how to explain it to my mum. If you look in the pics you can see the two cracks in the middle, even the right indicator fell off. how much would it cost to repair something like this.? thanks:o

    lol i also hate 4wds they piss me off always mothers that drive them and think they are king of the road cos they have a huge 4wd the block you sight and have to wait for them to leave before you can see anything they should have restrictions not to mention all the bloody petrol they drink up and spit back out of exhaust for off road yeh thats understandable but seeing all these bloody mothers in 4wd picking up their children from school blocking traffic trying to pack the damn thing jus shits me tears end of rant
