Dude, sounds like you got a bum deal when you bought your skyline. Nobody has this many problems.....

Sorry if a stupid question, but will the diffuser bolt up to a GTT?

My money's on the rear compressor coming loose from the dump pipe. No back pressure so the turbo is spooling up real quick.....

This has happened to me a couple of times also when the clutch was fully pressed in and been coming to a stop. Me thinks its nothing to do with the clutch though, and as others have said it feels like something to do with engine. Only has happened twice in two years i've had the car so i'm not too worried about it....

Yeah +1 Am running a apexi pod filter, enclosed into a carbon fibre box with cold air intake.... seems to do the trick

Spotted clean as silver 32 with no wing last night on portrush rd around 7. Sweet looking ride, looked to have REALLY hard suspension on it as well, the way it was bumping around

Wow, this thread actually turned out civilised! I read the first post and thought "let the flaming begin", but you guys are all being mature about it. Kudos! But +1 for quiet exhaust.

So this is essentially the same specs as a Garrett 3071 except this has a stock nissan front compressor to make it look like the standard turbo?

Come with dump pipe? Or does it bolt up to the stock one?

^^^ yes i agree. pics are really hard to go by, if you know someone over there would be even better, but your best bet is before even considering flying over would be to get an independent inspector to have a look at it. Call around Melbourne to get a pricing and make a time to get it inspected, then ask if the seller will be willing to drop the car off there and get it looked over. Even get the dent quoted to fix by someone else also. But having said that, looks pretty nice on the pics mate so hope it all goes to plan.

Visit the tyre thread, right here on this very site: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ty...ate-t72923.html It has loads of good info on tyres and probably will tell him to steer away from crap like the tyre's he has purchased. So your having a go at us for telling him that he has bought unsatisfactory tyres? Are you saying you don't need good tyres for the street? What if your involved in a situation where the car in front of you is braking hard and you need to brake hard and rely on your brakes AND TYRES to stop your ride from getting mashed. Would this constitute the need for good tyres? Tyres aren't only useful on the track, they are also VERY important with every day driving. As others have said, i too don't see the point in buying a sports car and then skimping of the most important part on the car, the tyres. They are the ONLY part of the car that makes contact with the road and therefore would make sense to buy decent rubber. No offence but if you can't afford to buy a decent pair of tyres, then maybe owning a skyline isn't the best choice for you at the moment....

How much you looking for mate?

So its T28 flanged, not T3? Pics?

paid $340 each for Bridgestone Andrenalins 235/40/18. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUY CHEAP TYRES, GET SHIT HANDLING!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you have an amp man? Try disconnecting it from the battery cos turning the deck off will not do it. If the noise still doesn't change then it is something mechanical and i owe you a beer.

Haha, yeah that was the first thing that came to my mind! They've run the RC cables down the side of your gearbox and when you rev it, the increase in friction (or whatever) in the gearbox gets picked up by the RC cables and transfers to your speakers.

What will the car be used for? I upgraded to DBA4000 series and have noticed a huge difference in the hills. Never tracked them before, but have bad things about them on the track.

What rear housing?

LOOOOLLLL!!! Ahahaha!! Pure Gold!!

THIS IS A STORY ABOUT A COUPLE WHO HAD BEEN HAPPILY MARRIED FOR YEARS.? THE ONLY FRICTION IN THEIR MARRIAGE WAS THE HUSBAND'S HABIT OF FARTING LOUDLY EVERY MORNING WHEN HE AWOKE. THE NOISE WOULD WAKE HIS WIFE AND THE SMELL WOULD MAKE HER EYES WATER AND MAKE HER GASP FOR AIR. EVERY MORNING SHE WOULD PLEAD WITH HIM TO STOP RIPPING THEM OFF BECAUSE IT WAS MAKING HER SICK. HE TOLD HER HE COULDN'T STOP IT AND THAT IT WAS PERFECTLY NATURAL. SHE TOLD HIM TO SEE A DOCTOR, SHE WAS CONCERNED THAT ONE DAY HE WOULD BLOW HIS GUTS OUT. THE YEARS WENT BY AND HE CONTINUED TO RIP THEM OUT. THEN ONE CHRISTMAS DAY MORNING, AS SHE WAS PREPARING THE the sphincter of the universe FOR DINNER AND HE WAS UPSTAIRS SOUND ASLEEP, SHE LOOKED AT THE INNARDS, NECK, GIZZARD, LIVER AND ALL THE SPARE PARTS, AND A MALICIOUS THOUGHT CAME TO HER. SHE TOOK THE BOWL AND WENT UPSTAIRS WHERE HER HUSBAND WAS SOUND ASLEEP AND, GENTLY PULLING THE BED COVERS BACK, SHE PULLED BACK THE ELASTIC WAISTBAND OF HIS UNDERPANTS AND EMPTIED THE BOWL OF the sphincter of the universe GUTS INTO HIS SHORTS. SOME TIME LATER SHE HEARD HER HUSBAND WAKEN WITH HIS USUAL TRUMPETING WHICH WAS FOLLOWED BY A BLOOD CURDLING SCREAM AND THE SOUND OF FRANTIC FOOT STEPS AS HE RAN INTO THE BATH ROOM. THE WIFE COULD HARDLY CONTROL HERSELF AS SHE ROLLED ON THE FLOOR LAUGHING, TEARS IN HER EYES! AFTER YEARS OF TORTURE SHE RECKONED SHE HAD GOT HIM BACK PRETTY GOOD. ABOUT TWENTY MINUTES LATER, HER HUSBAND CAME DOWNSTAIRS IN HIS BLOODSTAINED UNDERPANTS WITH A LOOK OF HORROR ON HIS FACE. SHE BIT HER LIP AS SHE ASKED HIM WHAT WAS THE MATTER. HE SAID, 'HONEY YOU WERE RIGHT.' 'ALL THESE YEARS YOU HAVE WARNED ME AND I DIDN'T LISTEN TO YOU' 'WHAT DO YOU MEAN?' ASKED HIS WIFE. 'WELL, YOU ALWAYS TOLD ME THAT ONE DAY I WOULD END UP FARTING MY GUTS OUT, AND TODAY IT FINALLY HAPPENED. 'BUT BY THE GRACE OF GOD, WITH SOME VASELINE AND TWO FINGERS. I THINK I GOT MOST OF THEM BACK IN

Lol +1

Wow, its the darnedest thing.... i typed short shifter in the SEARCH function and came up with heaps of info. Maybe instead of creating 50 threads a day, you'll do everyone a favour and SEARCH FOR YOUR ANSWER!! anyways here's some links: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Pa...l=short+shifter http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Sh...l=short+shifter

Got mine running for 20 secs. I usually drive sensible for the last km's before turning off, i think that helps. If you turn the key back in on (without cranking it again) it will just stay on. The TT will beep at the end but won't cut the engine off. Mine's like this anyway....

Ah, my bad
