I had a red P-plater in a VR sitting at the lights next to me, i took three other people for a drive, second day i had the skyline. He revved his engine, i was like "I m not even going to bother". Then his engine kept revving and he did the biggest burnout, standing right next me. We all could not stop laughing. What a tool...

Mine does that too sometimes. In second it gets this old tape player sound. Don't get anything in higher gears. Not sure what the brand of the shifter is though.

Are the Valvoline filters usually available from Autobarn?

Actually its the straight cut gears that whine, which are normally found in dogboxes. From memory they are in first and second usually.

I ve seen this before. I think one of your amps introduces the noise into the rca cables. try swapping the amps around and running them one at a time.

The cost of taking all that off, replacing with the standard geat and then refitting it all back. Not sure how much that would be... Consider that you will need to "rent" the factory gear too and not many places would do it.

Its Duncans Series 2 1997 model Blue. Stock except for 18" wheels (fatter on the back), aftermarket suspension (not sure which one) and rolled guards. Havent got the pics yet. :headbang:

I ended up buying one from Unique Autosports. Got a great deal, a Series 2, absolutely spotless. Picking it up on saturday... cant wait...

A shiteload more quiet...

Yeah, thats the impression i had when i looked at the pics of. It has a pretty big resonator. I m really not a big fan of the cat-pipe-muffler solutions, too loud on idle.

Are you ordering it from Nengun? Their prices look pretty good, even with $400 shipping.

You missed my favorite one: www.carsales.com.au. Most of their adds have pics. As far as up-to-date'ness concerned Autotrader(trading post) is the best one. Basically all those web sites would have about 90% of cars for sale. The rest are either not advertised or advertised through specialist forums (like this one).

http://www.revs.nsw.gov.au/buyguide/private.htm ...If you purchase a vehicle from a private seller who has an outstanding loan attached to the vehicle (this is called an encumbrance), the vehicle could be repossessed and you could lose your money. I dont understand what is ambiguous here. If the vehicle has a secured loan behind it then REVS would know about it. If the loan is unsecured then they cant touch the car.

Not your Z?

https://online.revs.nsw.gov.au/revs/public.htm You will also want to call RTA and ask them if the vehicle is a statutory write-off.

Some notes after looking at seemingly nice Series 1.5 at a dodgy dealer: Look for rust on the roof, on the door hinges (look between the guard and an open door), under the spoiler, shock towers. Another popular spot is around the rear guard from the weel scraping it (lowered/bigger rims). My girlfriend and I are working on teh theory that the R33 imported at this time (Oct 2004) would have a bit more rust than a similar car that has been in Australia for a couple of years. This could be because of: - Subjected to worse weather in Japan - Held in an auction car park for a few months. very little scratches will evolve faster under rain/sea breaze. Hence the car imported 3 years back would be affected less. This all of course can be outweighed by how the car has been cared about, garaged, serviced etc.

I almost cried... The goverment should adopt an open policy while dealing with car modifications like they did in New Zealand. I mean.... i m about to get a Skyline (VERY VERY VERY close to) and have been thinking about modifications for a long time. In doing so I heard five or six often contradicting opinions on the legality of various items like BOV's, exhausts, neons and so forth. How easy would it be to at least have a modifications guide published by the RTA that can provide some definite Yes's and No's? I gues one reason it hasn't been done is that the ruling bodies don't know that themselves. In the meantime we have to fit the pod filters, feel like rebels, look around the shoulder while driving and hope the pole is not too far up the cop's backside.

Hehe, i was going to say that too. I did alot of dodgy jobs on my laser with the can spray. During the three years i probably painted half of the car. Although my latter efforts are heaps better that the first couple of times, i m still not happy with myself. I cannot guarantee that i can do it without the paint running. Especially the clear, you bastard. Another advice - Its next to impossible to get rid of the plastic strips you see on the side panels, unless you sand to undercoat. Be aware of that.

You need to make sure that the room you are painting it in is VERY hot, like 40-50 degrees. And yeah, you ll need to sand it heaps, youll probably get away without getting rid of the top coat. It will be a pain in the ass, can gurantee that. While you are at it grab yourself some putty and fill little scratches and pin dents as well. If you can heat up the room try to get hold of one of those heat lamps panel beaters use, the results will be much better. If you want metallic-ish paint you ll definately need clear, and a thick coat of it on top, that is what gives it depth. Igor.

Shiny things amuse simple minds.... Quote out Whirlpool forums about the QuickTime player interface. You know what i m talking about.
