Bunnings plumbing section is great for PVC piping

after all that work, 12k? modding really is money down the drain

Off topic, but what was your sanding/polishing process? I'm restoring an exact same set and the lips are a pain in the butt to sand/polish

You would be better off fixing then selling... There's probably about 1500 worth of secondhand parts, paint and labour in there. Would be cheaper if you can find parts in that colour but its not very common

If you dont want to spend that much, call a few wreckers, there are a few that specialise in skyline parts. Not much point in waiting here for someone to help - buying an import means hunting for obscure parts yourself

awesome collection of Nismo gear man. Car looks very clean too, top work

Great car and a great set of pics. Much jealous

Its just glue residue, no need for sandpaper. WD40 will clean it off for a real titeass way, just follow up with proper window cleaner to remove the oily residue from WD40

I bought a yellow top for my s14 back in 2007, use the car twice a month at most, have flattened the battery several times and its still cranking like a champ, even after a month of sitting around. Money well spent

Nothing on the inside as far as I remember. Just two 10mm bolts on the inside near the rubber seal and one or two clips on the outside that need a firm tug. Not too hard though you don't want to damage the wiring harness. Went thru a lot of this chasing my bros dodgy tail light bulbs

I've had lumpy tyres that caused shake too, something worth checking. Once car felt like someone was tugging on the steering wheel at low speeds

I have this bit leftover from a bootlid swap, but only one of the red clips.

i have a feeling that mine "run" better on BP 98 but its probably all placebo effect only time i could really feel a difference was with e10 in an old n14 pulsar, that old bomb didnt like it at all

No love for BP fuels?

nope, didnt rant. my first post was somewhat helpful and the second post was just an explanation of general forum rules. same link was in post #5 too

google search for "370gt wipers" page 2 of search results: http://www.sinergymotorsports.com.au/cart/products-page/nissan-skyline-v36/ bottom of the page are compatible wiper blades, oz supplier, reasonable price

In general, most forums have pretty low tolerance to noob questions (seen the douchebaggery on Whirlpool?). Forums in AU and US are pretty harsh on noobs, while UK and Europe are a bit more polite, but the general rule is, search before you create a new topic. Some people are well aware of this rule, but still choose to ignore it by starting their question with something along the lines of "I searched but found nothing" before asking something that Google would have given them in seconds.

this. they are probably the standard 6mm metal backed inserts - measure them up, buy slightly longer and trim to size, easy as that, 25 bucks max for a pair. Replacing the entire assembly is pointless unless its worn out and loose, unlikely on a V36

I used to buy Greddy oil filters from Autobarn, when they sold them for $20 and online retailers wanted $40 to $60. Realised it was a waste of money in the end since it gets chucked every 6 months. Now I buy genuine Nissan filters in bulk instead, works out cheaper than Ryco retail

Code entered too many times incorrectly, you will need to call the dealer with your VIN.

My bro used to own a Swift GTi, great little car... bought it from a mate of mine, who in turn, bought it from a car yard in Bankstown We were noobs at the time and didn't really look into the history of the car or anything, but on the papers its was a Swift GA, a base model with a three cylinder engine. We thought it was an RTA error and didnt think much of it, until my bro went to trade the car in. The car yard accepted the trade-in, all went well until a few days later when they called back and said, this is not a proper GTi. It had a totally different VIN on the body, compared to the plate, and was in fact a GA, that was fitted with GTi driveline, interior, bodykit, dash etc. They asked us about who sold the car and eventually traced the whole thing back to the car yard in Bansktown that went "bankrupt" shortly after. The mate who bought the car from the yard originally, was a noob at the time as well and had no idea what he bought, he actually replaced the Swift with a Corolla GTi that was in a rollover and so badly repaired, all the door seals leaked water when it rained and had bits and pieces from corollas and holden novas used in the repair (slightly different guards, blinkers, lights etc) Good lesson to check all the numbers and not just assume errors...

88mph in a DeLorean is even more scary

My 2c... Buy the house first, pay a chunk of mortgage off, then chuck your car purchase on your mortgage and enjoy the low rates. You won't even notice this dent in your wallet if you do it this way. This is how my s14 was bought back in 2002, when I was 21, just added to parents mortgage and paid off overtime (28k back then!) I've had my share of crappy dailys over the years and there comes a time when you just get over sitting in an old pile of crap like a 17yo p-plater. All depends on what you how you define a daily anyway. Is it a beater to leave at a dodgy train station all day? Or a decent car to use generally? This will determine of 30k is worth spending. My current daily is somewhere halfway, a 12k v35, perfect compromise for my needs

school holidays upon us again?

looks to be in awesome condition, more pics needed btw love Vegas
