hmmm...me thinks i should forget the exhaust - im already stressed with exams and trying to get a proper job, i dont need the men in blue crawling up my ass too....

Quite right - the first one that is approved by canberra is probably the best one to get. Importing is good if you want to save money, if you can wait atleast 2 months and if you want to choose from a very very wide selecting of cars, colours etc. But locally is also good in the sense that if you buy one thats already here, you get to test drive it, check it for faults etc. Plus its also good if you cant wait (like i was when i was looking for my car ) Where are you located? The guys and girls on the forum will be able to help with dealers/importers you can check out. When going for a dealer, take Merli's list of things to check: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...showtopic=35129 This is what I used when I went looking for the car, and boy did it help heaps (thanks merli!)! But having said that, I would also suggest you talk to the guys at j-spec and allblitz, they know their skylines as well. Perhaps go on one of the cruises or meets and see the cars that have been imported by them. As for getting the car tested by RACV etc - you have to be careful. Sometimes they dont understand japanese cars. Hence, before you decide to buy or import, test drive a few - listen, feel, see - how the car performs. Hope this helps. Let us know how it goes M

I was told its 1db below the legal limit (roy @ autoxcess)

hmm i was about to by the apexi kit, now that i know that just the pod is enough, it makes it easier! Im suprised that it didnt quite work for anjoO's r34 though...

thought about importing one? There are heaps of good importers around. Talk to them as well. That skyline, its got nice wheels, but probably will need a major engine overhaul...

I have been emailing Roy at autoxcess.com.au check their website, they have some pics of xforce and related products. Only thing is it will be 1500 fitted there.

Welcome to the SAU forums -Skyline-!! i got mine in feb - still going great apart from my infamous tinting incident hehe

Hi guys, Dont know if this is where i should post this question but, I was wondering if anyone could tell me where I could get my hands on a service manual for the r33 s2 skyline? I tried the library etc, but nothing yet. I wanna get one so I can do some of my own work on it when I have uni holidays. The only one i could find was the 1987 - 1990 skyline manual in the library - that aint gonna help much if i have to work out the wires and stuff on my car. Thanks

Worked for 6 years (while at uni) saving up for a NA JZ80 Supra - saved up about 15000 - borrowed about 4 grand from parents, now paying them off. The mods - whatever i save up at the moment is going into mods. Worked in Ericsson during the summer of 99/00 and 00/01 - then david jones for the xmas in 2002, then myer since may 2003.

U'd be suprised, the coupe is pretty spacious - I carried 3 other guys in my car all taller than me (6ft 4, 5ft 11, 5ft 9 and Im 5ft 7) - and they didnt feel cramped or anything. As far as i know, the 2 door is a bit quicker (but i could be wrong - someone will have to verify this). Either way man, ur getting a great car - but in my opinion go for the coupe, despite the fact that you can get sedans for a bit cheaper.

Still get very paranoid. Every scratch, every dent that I see is followed by a million swear words. Take good care of the car bud - its worth every dollar and every minute. It takes me ages to clean the car too - but its like my kid, and after all we all want the best for our children hehe.

is it when u r driving the car or when its stationary?

So you guys all are running x-force? I have been looking at other brands too like the fujitsubo front pipe and catback + matching hks dumppipe - but i have gotten a qoute of $2100 (im assuming the big brands are all around the high $1k or low $2k range). Is there any combinations that anyone could recommend perhaps? Like I keep hearing great stuff about BTMBL's stock, but I would need to get the other parts to complete the turbo back system. I know some brands can be mixed and matched (eg, fujitsubo + hks)- does anyone have a mix'n'matched system?

get about 420 - thats when its on the 'empty' line. Maybe i have another 20 klms or so left, or maybe my indicator is f**king with me But when i pumped up at the empty - i got to about 43 ltrs

Jeez, at school and owning an r34 and a r32! Nice

Amazing to learn what people do for a living in order to buy and maintain their cars....

that "damn" supra is nice...seen it on hpi & on www.prestigemotorsport.com

Hey all I dont know if this is the right place to post this or not, but....where are some good places to go to for a cruise??? Exams are stressing me out, and I usually take some time off atleast once a week to go for a bit of a cruise. I live in the S.E suburbs and to date, I have gone around the dandy mountains, up to frankston and along beach road to st kilda, and all the way past lysterfield - which then connects to the dandy mountains (i think). Any where else that anyone from vic can recommend - something scenic and without heavy traffic (without having to go to the great ocean road etc)???

i would have loved to see the looks on the cops face.....either way its a funny moment....well funny to us, not to either of them.

I have to ask though - whats this articles thing that every law student keeps talking about?

Im in the one that has the radiation poisoning - building 108 in bourke street. Come to think of it, my head gets heated up very quickly when im revising for exams...perhaps.....

Jeez - i thought i was crazy for doing 2 courses!! Dude, u go to rmit in the city! Im doing my masters in accounting there at the moment. Did bachelor of comptuer science at monash before that, and working at Myer as a casual (but im gonna leave that joint soon)

link the thread

it aint the same anymore - i read that the designer said the new gtr is not really affiliated with the skyline name cos its entirely different.....(i.e the 32-34 gtrs had something in common with the gts's/gt's and the gtsts/gtt's - eg the lights or some of the looks). Either way, adz is right, the skyline is dead - but perhaps the new model could bring out a new luv affair with the gtr name.

nah im sorry - i have to disagree with the rest, it doesnt look good as all...... LOOKS F**KIN AWESOME!!!!! How did the accident happen anyway? Any new mods to the car?
