YES. i changed the oil and there was the slightest bit of grit in some parts of the oil. Like it was finer than a grain of sand but i could still feel it. Whats the next step? Bearing trouble means i need a new engine doesnt it?

I dont know if its pinging, it sounds more like a knock

bump still in need of help

it gets marginally quicker as the revs go up. Oh and yes it was the Gudeon pin which i was talking about. Wheres the best place/cheapest to have this looked at. Since im at bulimba i dont wonna drive the car too far considering the state that its in. Anyone know of anywhere in the bulimba/hawthorn/balmoral/ surrounding areas. Im currently working with tuff toys (who i orginally purchased the car from) but they dont really wonna know about it until the engine breaks

R32 Abuser, what do you mean by comp tested and leakdown tested? And when you say etc is there any other test in specific that you are refferring to? Im willing to try everything to fix this. THis is last f**king thing i need to go wrong with my car. Are all skylines unreliable or is mine just a lemon.

hey fellas recently i have heard this weird sound between 1600 - 1800 rpm. It is a quick tapping sound and kinda sounds like a cricket or something. I took it back to the dealer today and he says that its probably a "gudging bolt". Im not quite sure if thats how its spelt, but its the bolt that holds the piston to the conrod. I guess its kinda hard for you guys to make a judgement without hearing the sound but any help would be greatly appreciated. By the way its an RB25DE hence non turbo

im not sure if i can come to this one. im still recovering from glandular fever :@ it was the reason i didnt go on the msc..

they normally have this rubber cap which is forced over the screw, then the knob sits over that. I assume that you thoroughly checked the box for adapters Otherwise you could just buy a cheap shift knob (make sure it has adapters) hope this helps

Im thinkin of comming. is it a problem that i dont know anyone?

i think ill take that spoiler. im assuming pickup only?

what type of spoiler is it?

i just came back from schoolies today. it was pretty awesome There were quite a few imports down there, especially this HOT R33 GTR that had an autosalon sticker on it. But then i saw an R32 which had the boot hit with bottles and a dint in the LHS door. I felt quite sorry for the owner of that black 32, looks like it will be quite expensive to fix.

about 2 weeks ago i misjudged a turn which could have put me into a traffic island. i was driving home in the wet and i turned into one of those "turn left at any time with care" lanes. I turned and the back end swung out, i corrected and then started sliding towards a traffic island, 2 more corrections saw me facing the right way. Though i cop a bit of shit from some of my mates about driving an N/A im sure that if i drove a turbo (i got my licence in july) then i would of had a couple of accidents.

hi guys is someone in the brisbane area willing to make me a box for my pod filter, id do it myself but seen i moved to brisbane today i dont really know where to get the materials. PLUS im sure that if i made a box it would like shit Cheers p.s. post of how much you would be willing to do it for

Why the hell would you want to make your skyline into some honda shit?

i dont mean to change the topic, but whats the difference between a regular GTR and a VSPEC GTR, i thought all GTRs were VSPEC :S

Basti The difference between the pictures is that the top one is for a BCNR33 and the other is a ECR33 or the otherway round

Are there many shops that sell replica body parts? if so what are they? i really want this spoiler

Does anyone know what type of spoiler that is? I know its a GTR style, but who makes it? i was after the JUN spoiler but coudnt find anyone that sells it accept for JUN, they wanted $2000 inlcuding freight

do you just sand it back then prime it or is there another way

perhaps i should rename the thread "How the hell do you read a fuel gauge?"

sorry if this is a stupid question, but do u need to cover the discs (dont know the technical term for them). Ive heard that the paint comes straight off after a few drives so u dont need to worry about covering it

thanks for all the replies Im glad to hear that (hopefully) nothing is broken cheers fellas

Do you you how i can get to the sender?

hi The other day i ran my car till it was almost empty (something which i NEVER do). The gauge had about 1mm before it hit the empty line. When i was filling it up, the car only took 43L. When it should be a 65L tank. So it takes no expert to work out that my fuel gauge is out by 22L. Moral of the story, does anyone know how to fix this problem or should i just take it to a proper mechanic? thanks by the way its a S1 R33 GTS
