Dude,
Thanks heaps for the advice - This is my first skyline and i have had it for less than a month. I dont know much about it yet (Last car was a 91' liberty). I still have 2 months of warranty left so im thinking about getting the dealer to at least cover the labour on getting the new parts in.
Hopefully il be able to make the next big cruise too - as long as the car stays in one piece ;-)
