  1. i don't understand what you're getting at.... it's legal to have fmic with aftermarket exhaust.
  2. If you live in a high crime area, forget about the GT-R. They have a slightly highter theft rate than the 626. No point buying a car for $30,000 and then having no money left over for insurance, security devices and day to day running expenses... especially if you want a car you can drive.
  3. no, only if both of them aren't stock.
  4. Premiere seem to be cheap for a reason..... their tint jobs have noticable gaps around the tops of the windows, something so highly cosmetic is worth spending a few extra bucks on to get a good job.
  5. Letter from EPA.
  6. Providing there are no other induction modifications, a paper element filter is legal on any EFI car. Whoever you rang for advice isn't fit to be giving it.

  8. You might want to try putting it on a pallet instead... I wouldn't trust a pellet to support the weight of a motor. (before i get flamed for my pedantics, funky started it!)
  9. I've been compiling legal info (organised by state) as I come across it. http://wiki.r31skylineclub.com/index.php?t...gal_Information Quite basic stuff at the moment, but hopefully some links thrown into this thread will help add to it.
  10. I once asked for an officers badge number. It was refused. I called the station to try to get details of the officer. I gave details of the incident to the call taker, (including the number on the car, the location and time of incident) and I was told the officer would "be dealt with", but I was still denied the reqiured information. For all I know, the person who took the call could have been the same officer who refused to give his details to me in the first place.
  11. Victoria ......covers what info you need to give to police, vehicle searches etc.
  12. I should have also gone on to say that all components that came in contact with the oven cleaner were washed extremely well with detergent and 2 different spirit baths so that no contamination was carried into the head... we also toyed with the idea of sticking them in (someone elses) dishwasher. If any "melting" occured it would be a shame... I'd be terribly sad if the tired old RB30 had to be replaced with an RB26. :lol:
  13. er.. you DO know I'm a woman, right? but at least now I can blame the chemicals for making me schiz. :lol:
  14. I've posted this on another forum, but for those of you who reside here, I'm posting it here as well. I couldn't decide whether to title this "Change your oil" or "Cleaning internals on a budget".... it's actually a bit of both. Firstly, CHANGE YOUR OIL! A few years ago SKY031 came to be in my possession as a stolen recovered vehicle. In the first few months of owning it, the rocker cover was removed so that it could be painted/polished. When we removed the rocker cover, it became quite apparent that it's previous (south australian ) owner hadn't been terribly fond of changing the oil, and it was full of crusties. We picked out the worst of the crusties, and then did the usual, changed the oil, did an oil flush, changed the oil again, and hoped for the best. It was only a matter of time until something broke, but in the meantime it was still working, so in the spirit of "if it ain't broke don't fix it" life went on. Well........ it finally broke. Unfortunately I didn't get a pic of inside the rocker cover once it was removed, but to try and give you some idea of how vile the engine was inside, here's a shot of the rockers. Needless to say, these needed to be cleaned before they were put back in. Tried detergents. Tried solvents. Didn't work. Turps won't budge 20 year old crusties, even with a toothbrush and lots of elbow grease. Just as it was starting to look as if the internals were going to need to be cleaned by a pro, I had an idea..... Which every day household product could accomplish such a mammoth task? OVEN CLEANER!!!! So out came the oven cleaner, and wouldn't you know it, the can was 99% empty. Off to the supermarket I go. Home brand oven cleaner $2.55 Home brand gloves .54c Home brand toothbrush .55c The satisfaction of being able to do it in my own backyard, priceless! :lol: Here is a pic of what they looked like afterwards. -take into account that the first image was taken in full sun. the "after" shot was taken in shade, and dulls the shine a little, but you can still get an idea of how well it worked. So to stop this from happening to you, give your car an oil change for christmas.
  15. nice find!
  16. Please don't multipost threads. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...showtopic=98407
  17. Oh yeah.. if we can't have his email address, then send him a link to this thread
  18. awwwww give us his emal address
  19. SHHHHHHHHHH MARK! geez.. the more people that buy 31's, the less goodies are left for us!
  20. If you wanted un un-biased opinion, this isn't really the place to ask. Wow, what a surprise, everyone says "go for the Skyline" Now go and start a duplicate of exactly the same thread on http://www.calaisturbo.com.au and see what sort of response you get. I vote you got for the VL.
  21. http://wiki.r31skylineclub.com/index.php?title=R31_Links The links in there should keep you entertained for a while.
  22. I think I might decide to take offence to that. My plates are standard issue, but still "personalised". If I hadn't requested the plate it would have been issued to someone who wouldn't care for it and nurture it the way I do. (and all "SKY***" numberplates should have been reserved for skylines anyway) It's silly when you see commos and fords getting around wearing "SKY" plates
  23. Is this the one? Page 1 Page 2 Page 3
  24. hey.... i found this while i was looking around at some papermodel sites... Click here if you want to download the .zip file with the printable image. (pdf) Have fun! :lol:
  25. ooooooh a toy thread. I like toys. alphadog that looks insane! I love the oil filter! make sure you post up pics when it's finished.
