I was driving into city for training last night and while I was on victoria road way before getting onto Anzac bridge, this marone R33 comes up besides mine. Anyhow, it looked pretty good (I didn't realise skylines had such road presence)..Anyway, he took off and a while later, after I crossed Anzac bridge and took the second exit and just turned onto harris st. there he was too! so we were driving down harris street - him in his marone R33 and me in my black R33 line abreast like a motorcade or something. I thought it was pretty mad! People are looking and we get to the lights, then I think he was expecting me to take off and I was thinking the same about him, and we both ended up moving off heaps slow anyway that was fun cheers

:lol: :lol: :lol: I almost pissed myself laughing ROFL!

:lol: :lol: haha and i was just having a $hit day at work too..

oh no...here comes that sinking feeling then

Thats true...although there's this little plaque thing in japanese on the front of my engine which I'm guessing is the 100,000km service plaque which eased my mind a bit but I think that's a good suggestion. Cheers AF

Hey Links I'm in the same boat you are - only I live in Castle Hill! I was thinking about getting a major service done on my car anyway since I bought it recently but it's just past 105,000km..I was wondering if anyone had an idea of what the service interval is for these cars?? It's been a pretty informative thread - depending on how I go, I might end up seeing Nathan too AF

sorry, i'll keep it in mind next time!

no worries, mate

Hi all, I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to DIY but since I got my skyline I really want to get hands on! Anyway, I want to replace the stock speakers in the doors but I was wondering how I go about getting to the wiring behind the door. I.e. take off the interior side of it?? Cheers AF

mate your little picture thing's funny $hit!! ROFL

I'm not too sure, hey? I just bought it probably just on two weeks ago now but there was no paperwork (manuals, instructions or compliance or whatever else)with it, even though I bought it at a dealer...come to think of it, I think the bastard's ripped me off since now the front right small headlight thing (the corner one, the faint ones?!) doesn't work anymore.. do you by any chance happen to know where a good reliable skyline service centre is in Syndey or where I can get keys, manuals and stuff from? Cheers AF

Damn I think you hit that right on the bulls eye...I'm guessing thats going to be a fair bill to fix.

Thanks guys for the tips! But guess what? I was late for work one day and I swung my car into a tight park between another guy's car and the steel support beams...guess which one I hit?? It was the post - on my left rear panel just after the door Now I've got this mad scratch about 30cm lond and 15cm wide that looks like a giant car was sharpening its claws on the side of my car...it was barely one week old at the time

Hi I bought my skyline about 2 weeks ago and I'm still getting used to it but I've noticed sometimes when I'm shifting up from 2nd to 3rd that theres a coarse gravely noise until i get to around about 40km/h and then things start smoothing out. I haven't noticed what rev range it occurs in. Is this normal?? or I am shifting up to early (I think it should be)?? My last car was an auto and I haven't driven manual in about 2 years? Cheers, AF

Phew, thats reassuring! Since when I checked it out, my mate who was with me at the time was getting more excited than the dealer! Took it for a short drive and before I realised it he's encouraging me to leave a deposit Anyway, I'm pretty broke atm but eventually I want to put a cat back exhaust system in and a direct cold air intake. I heard that's supposed to put power up into the 200+ kW @ the flywheel alone! I want the car to still sound the way it does now though..kinda like a low growl...subtle but nice. After that, tint the windows, put a nice pair of seats in like Duncan's and a proper head unit...and a new bonnet with a subtlely stylish but functional scoop to lower under bonnet temp. Really want to change the oil and oil filter along with the spark plug and fuel filter myself but that might take a bit of developing my knowledge first! Well, thats the excited ramblings of a new owner for now. Cheers, AF

Hi All, I've recently bought my skyline! I just love it - a black, R33 GTS25T and lowered. Have got to say that is one good manual site...just wished I'd seen it before I bought mine about a week ago Anyways it's probably been asked before, but since my car didn't have an insturction manual, there were two questions I had: Thx in advance 1) I was wondering if it was normal for the HICAS light to come on and the go off a second or so after starting up the car. It never comes on while driving. 2) My oil pressure light stays on for about 2 seconds and then goes off which is when the needle on the oil pressure gauge starts to move when I start up the car..this is normal right? As far as I know, the oil pressure levels vs. RPM are ok as far as I can tell...am I being paranoid? They are nice cars! Cheers fellas!
