Yeah ive seen flames come out the exhaust before but never out the exhaust and up the back of the car lol there would have been paint damage for sure. Curious to what happened to his car..

It was Gunmetal grey Makes me not want to thrash my car when i see that stuff happen >< lol

I was behind an R32 (had rear GTR badge) on roe hwy and both lanes had traffic in them so me and the 32 couldnt pass, as soon as the car in the right lane moved into the left lane the 32 started to speed up, i noticed black puffs of smoke coming out his exhaust when he sped up. He then slammed his breaks on and swerved off the road i look back and there's like 3 meter high flames coming out of the exhaust and up the back of the car... I kept driving because i had my gf's ball to go to otherwise i would have stopped and helped.. Poor guy

Doing by hand is a must.. I stuck a hose under my bonnet once and water got into the coilpacks and the car was bubbling when i accelerated... Had to take out all the coilpacks and air dry one by one..

I was going to try this but i think i will let someone who has done it before do it lol... My 33 is reaching its 95k mark and i was wanting to service it this weekend, i can do the oil / plugs / brakes.. Anyone know what i would be looking at to get someone just to fit the timing belt.. Ill provide belt and everything.

Okay cheers guys, i thought there might have been something more to it.. like since 100 cars ive jumped start first time i thought cause its an import and the battery is in the boot there might have been a different way of starting it.. so yeah i got a battery charger ill take the battery out tonight and charge it over night and hopefully that should fix it

Hahaha. I am connecting to the battery in the boot? is that where i should be connecting? I was using my neighbours 83 ford laser to jump start ha-ha Car was completely dead when i came out.. put jump leads on and i got dash lights back but when i tryed to turn it over it was clicking like a machine gun

hey guys, I left my lights on last night and this morning my battery was completly flat.. When trying to jump start it the car just clicks like crazy? any ideas how i can get it purring again? Is there some special way to charging a skylines battery? ><

Haha bush mechanix at its finest I think LED's are hawt so i was gonna give them a shot.. ill post some pics once its done.

Hey guys, Someone reversed into me at the shops and destroyed my trust front bar while i was shopping! so ive bought a 400R and im just curious on what indicators i should use? Its got the round holes the same as my old trust one did, i had it filled in tho and just mounted them seperate. this time i think im gonna use the holes. anyone know what lights to go for (bulb/LED) ? also ive got it in the shop getting painted and i need to order the lights so if anyone knows the measurments for the 400r indicator slots that would be awesome (looked about 70mm? can anyone confirm?)

Okay today i took the cover off, took all the coils out and no water or residue was inside.. i dried all the sockets anyway but i don't think water is the problem anymore.. it may have started it but i don't believe its there anymore. It may be possible a coil is broken? Because when i took the coils out, i mixed them up and put them back in differently, and even tho the car still misfires at idle, the sound when i accelerate is different.. before it use to just do it when i acclerated heavy.. now it does it even while cruising. Its really starting to annoy me. my car feels so sluggish and it sounds like crap! how much do coils go for roughly and anyone else got feedback? Ps. thanks for your feedback guys. Pps. after cleaning all my plugs my hicas light is constantly on now? not sure if thats broken or if its fixed.. my hicas light has never came on before lol..

I got a Trust front bar and i'm wanting to attach some mesh to make it look a little bit meaner, cause atm the slots are empty. Though i'm having trouble finding a way of attaching the mesh. Bit scared to screw into aswell incase it cracks.. any ideas?

I am actually a 1st year apprentice auto electrician, and my boss actually suggested the coil pack. I removed the plugs and cleaned them with some cleaner, then air dried them with a air hose. I haven't managed to check the coils yet. Ive noticed after driving for say 20-30 minutes it actually goes away, but say if i drive the car the next day.. its back again. Any more suggestions?

While car was being cleaned, some water got into the engine bay. When accelerating the car shudders like hell, and when idling it miss fires every so often. Anyone know what the problem could be? I already went thru the sensors and dryed them out with a airhose, might be the injectors? anyone?

Thats the original Jap VIN and model number.. can that help anyone get the color code for me? ECR33-020806 Model: GGKRTFR33VDAA--D-A
