I don't mind driving some else's fast car, I'll only ever own my skyline. I don't mind f**king some else's woman, I'll always go home to mine. [OK that last line was a joke]. When I bought my 'line it was not totally std, but I've bought, bartered, swapped and traded parts and am [still] in the [unending] process of setting it up to suit me. I bought the line cos it was in my price and spec range, the biggest bang, the lowest k's, the latest model car I could get for my fistful of dinero's. So I don't think it matters at all what you buy, ITS WHAT YOU DO WITH IT AFTER YOU BOUGHT IT............................THATS WHAT MATTERS.

Your turbo will cool down easy. On a summers day after sitting on 100+km/h, it'll cool from 850-900 to 400 within 3 to 4 blocks at 50km/h, even less time in winter. If you are fanging it hard around a race strip, it might take a bit longer. If you are only doing 50-60km/h in town, I would just turn it off like any NA car [unless its a stinking hot +40 day, then 30 seconds cool down maybe??]. I've got an exhaust gauge on mine, and turbo's cool down quick all year round except for the +40 days. If you take your time parking etc then you can consider it cooled down. Turbo's aren't working much below 3,000rpm, and this is about [depending on gearing etc]100 to 120km/h in top, they are 'on sort of' below this, but are 'idling sort of', so they don't get as hot as if they are boosting.

Clutch engagement is too light, or [and very likely] you got oil on your clutch, and it burns away [when you slip] or gets flung off [when the clutch spins] after you drive it.

Just thinking that something precipitated the fault???

Does it happen when you accelerate? or just after you change gears? turn corners? etc etc Does it happen when you are doing a certain speed or rev?? Or does it just happen any time on a straight bit of road at normal speed [and you may have been sitting on the same speed for a while?

I was thinking of using neoprene. Like you get on kitchen chopping boards, sort of hard plastic. At marine/boat shops they have this neoprene in a slippery/frictionless compound. I was going to bolt some of this to my bar at the wear points and use them as sacrificial nodes. Just routinely replace it. I've got a carbra and it is a mess from scrapping, so I thought I'd get it modified and sew holes in it for the nodes to stick out through. I was going to shape the nodes sort of like a half flat donut and bolt them through the centre. I am reluctant to use anything like dome bolts or metal sheets, cos they might rip out if scraped too hard, and wreck the bar. This neoprene is a frictionless compound and is more likely to skid along the surface every time. Looking at the posts here maybe I should go into production....lol

I'm in country NSW. Near Wagga/Canberra. Royston Vasey is a town in 'League of Gentlemen' a black [humour] sit comm on TV.

These things got an auto choke???, or ecm has auto choke tuning????? could be stuck on???

Spotted in Wagga a dark grey gtst with act plates {I get around}

From a sellers point, I don't totally trust COD. I've sent stuff COD and then the idiot at the other end - the buyer who wanted the stuff in the first place - didn't collect. This means that the goods are sent back to me and I have to pay postage and charges and no sale. I now prefer direct deposit, or a direct deposit part payment and then COD for the rest. Note that this sort of thing happens, not all the time, but it happens. I've also tried to inspect COD packages prior to paying for them, and was told you can't. You should be able to, but the APO is just piggy in the middle and they won't play.

At last people that agree with me, the modern Nissans look like recycled citreons, sh1t the French have been trying to sell their idea of what a car should look like to the world for decades, and the same design gets uglier with every passing year. They might be able to build a motor or cook a frog, but they couldn't style a galvanised bucket.

OK, but I would look at it like I was doing other 'would be suckers' a favour. Remember, the more complaints ahtcc get, the more likely they are to act and close this A*#@eh0le down. It just might save someone else from being 'had', look at it like its your good turn for the day.

Still looks like a recycled citreon, sorry can't go there, I'll drive R33/4's till they are history, and hope the stylists and engineers get their act together in the future, otherwise I'll be buying another brand. And without round taillights there are no Skylines.....................

When I got my '98 gtst it came with a CWest GT type adjustable wing. The original spoiler was gone. The rear gaurds are about 1"=25mm higher than the boot lid, in a semi finished condition and showed the weld seam. It also still had the original spoiler bolt holes and grommet holes through the boot lid. To Fix all this I bought a boot spoiler, cut the guts out of it, refinished it with more fibreglass and made up a couple of cricket bats for each side. These then bolted down where the original spoiler was and covered/finished the boot lid off. Since doing this, I've seen pics of boot lids that never had this prob in the first place, the boot lid matches the gaurds without the spoiler, and there is no spoiler indent on either side, latest HPI has a lime GTR like this. My question is, did they panel beat the gaurds down to the gaurds and fix up the bootlid??? OR is there a boot lid that sits up higher and matches the gaurds???? I don't mind my cricket bats, BUT would prefer a less 'add on/bolt on' finish.

Best you can do is dob him in to paypal and however else he's dealing through, there is also an online internet crime report you can fill out, if the cops get enough of them about him, they might be forced to do something. I haven't got the web address of the report, but maybe somebody else knows it, or if you can't find it, I could have a look.

You can stop just about any transaction if you do it in time..........ie quickly before the funds are transferred. Once they are transferred, forget it, you've done your $$$$$ 9-10 days try, but I reckon it would be too late. Time to break out the crowbar and exact retribution.........
