Next Skyline Pricing And Power Confirmed (?)
lingeringsoul replied to Big Rizza's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
FINALLY!!! no more power cap, the full fury of the Godzilla can be unleashed upon the European cars Nissan had better not disaapoint me, I've been a loyal supporter for tht last 10 years -
not too sure about the brand, never cared anyway. For me, as long as it fits and works, it's all ok. I guess I'll do a DIY once I get the camera back from the folks for better illustration. I was pretty hesitant about doing ti at first as well, not knowing if anything needed welding or if my tools will stand up to the task at hand. In the end, I decided to give it a go anyway and it was rewarding once that was finished.

Is This The Final Version Of The New Gtr
lingeringsoul replied to R31Heaven's topic in General Automotive Discussion
now THAT would definitely be the productino version.............me thinks -
Well, it's been long time coming, just never got around to it until now. I recently bought the 3" split dump front pump and a second hand high flow cat just to finish off my exhaust. After 2 days, and numerous trips to the local hardware store for tools, I've finally finished installing both. A bit of history first. I bought my Skyline last year around this time and was driving it around pretty stock for a LONG time. First ever mod I bought, was.........drum rolls please!!!!!............A JUST JAP HKS COPY SSBOV. (it's a piece of shit, and worked for a week and I was a bit of ricer then) Yes, I was stupd back then. Anyway, back to the topic at hand, while driving stock pressure of around 7psi, I never really pushed the car into high revs. I then turned up the boost and installed the front mount intercooler and started trashing the car and found out at high rev e.g. anything above 5k, i wouldn't get much response....just a lot of drone and more drone and really couldn't hear much of anything else. So after getting used to the characteristic of the car for the last 4 month, I finally completed the exhaust. It took me AGES to do, mainly because the spanners I had were of incorrect size and had to make 4 trips to the local hardware store on foot to get all the bits and pieces I needed. I might write a DIY for people those who are interested and a list of problems I have encountered along the way. At 5pm today, I got everything installed and took it for a drive (8pm). The first thing I noticed was the response, it was definitely a lot faster response than what it was before and to be honest, public road is just not a good place to test out how good it really is considering that by the end of second gear, it;s around 60 or 70 ks already. The second thing was definitely, NO MORE DRONING, just the smooth sound of the engine and the air flow. Now I wonder why I haven't done so 6 months earlier, silly me. The downside to all of this, is that I can now hear all the "other" noises I wasn't hearing before. I can now hear the damn knocking sound from the fudged up shocks and some other strange sound that I wished it wasn't there. Well, the next step is putting my SAFC2 to work and getting a tune. It's been lazying around in the cigarette tray for last few month its time to earn its keep. After the tuning, I'm going to give all this a rest and stop spending all my hard earned cash.........yeah I wish. Thanks you for your attention, hope you all can enjoy your split dump as much I will be. James

If I Ever Wanted A 300z, This Would Be It
lingeringsoul replied to lingeringsoul's topic in General Automotive Discussion
I sat in my friend's 300z a while back, was bloody awesome. Back then I didn't know much about cars, and he had a full veilside kit with a massive exhaust. I thought it was a super car of some sort. -

Installing A Front/dump Pipe & Cat
lingeringsoul replied to PAV34's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
what good luck...I'm about to do the exact thing. -
from what I hear, its not worth the trouble, unless you can find a ridiculously good deal, and I do mean RIDICULOUS. Dad's friend bought a 94 Camry back god knows when for $4000 when the market price was 12000, drove it for a few years and brought it here. Ended up still costing quite a bit and he said it was not worth all that trouble

Official NSW Skyline spotted thread
lingeringsoul replied to CerealKiller's topic in New South Wales
Does it have a sort of GTR looking front bar? If so, I think it belongs to this chick that lives in the next building from me. -
Just picked up a copy of Autosalon Magazine and what do I see??? SEX ON WHEELS!!! thats right, a perfect shot of a black R32 GTR in the rain doing 1:06 at wakefield? The car was just too sexy, especially with those R34 rims. That picture just convinced me to get an R32 for my next car. Looking at the engine work done almost make me cringe at how much $$$$ they must have spent doing it up. If you guys are on the forum, two thumbs up on the beautiful car.
