Did I tell you I really love skylines ? ! ‽

Ha ! Did mine as well. Used a Z hose I got at Supercheap and cut out what I needed. Then while everything was off changed out the water heater control block and the heater supply hoses to silicon on both sides. While attaching said hoses to the plastic hose fitting that goes through the firewall to the heater core they crumbled due to age. Got new heater core supply pipes, de gassed the air con took out the glove box pulled out air-conditioning fan unit and took out the heater core went to change out the busted pipes and went nope ! Went and got a brand new heater core, attached the heater core pipes, put the air con fan unit back in, re attached the new silicon heater hose, put the air conditioner fan unit back in got it regased annnnnnnnnd Bob's your uncle ! 5 minute job really ! AND I AINT DOIN THAT SH*T AGAIN ! !

I booked a council pick-up for a bunch of stuff and left them out the front, with all rubbish to be picked up, on the top with other bits of scrap metal, the arvo before pick up. Inevitably the metal scrap guys turn up and take all the metal that arvo. They must have a deal going cause they certainly know what addresses to show up at ! Works every time !

Don't do it if your gearbox box has already having syncro issues. The short hifter will put a greater load on them. If you must I remember Nismo did a shorter shifter, with the top part being physically shorter and the part that went into the gearbox was the same as stock. In saying that I've had a C's short shifter (I think) in mine for many years, which was given to me as the previous owner was not sympathetic to the gearbox. Thus forwarned I was careful and had to modify my normal changing style. You have to be super accurate with your clutch and shifts

Weird ! Same Same with mine. Autoexcel in Bonnyrig is your friend !

Oh thank God its just not me ! I thought I was the only one and I was some weird arsed automotive hoarder that need an intervention. I've had a spare R33 in my garage since 07 and now its a blessing as I'm working on my car and all I have to do is turn around and there is the part I need ! ! Its like magic ! So keep every thing except the broken stuff. As was said plastic tubs are your friend Then again I've also got old Holden 6 projects that I work on from back in the 80s that I'm working on again for nostalgic reasons

Gearbox ? And you have 700hp now ! With the extras your considering you wish to make more power ? Yes ? So perhaps a ZF8H75 gearbox might be the go for you to try and keep the "street drivable" factor more enjoyable ?

Yep and yep ! Every time I now take out the R33 I get a lot of thumbs up as well, and my car was also a daily until last year. Still get people coming up and asking about it. A while ago the most memorable being a V8 commodore driver who approached me in the bunnings carpark and asked me why the were so fast and what kind of V8 it had in it. Couldn't resist and told him they were only a straight six the same capacity as the 161 red motor. The look on his face was legendry. However the shine has gone off cause as well as the appreciation there is now a lot of harassment from other drivers in there VW/Nline/Ae86 with body kits or whatever the hell they are, while all I want to do is cruise.( well sort of drive with spirt ) I always try and get the hell away from them by driving slow, putting on my lawn bowling hat and leaning over the steering wheel to look as old fart as possible.

My eyes ! My eyes ! I'm blinded now for life ! Hunt down the people who did that and destroy them ! Sacrilege to the God of Skylines ! Oh the humanity ! OK I'm better now ! As joshuah96 said but looks like the clutch master cylinder was out before it was painted ! Very sus that !

And what you now need is cruise control for your 'line to get even better economy . . . . or build one to suit . . . . . . . . wait like I did . . . . . . . and never again . . . . . . . . I'd rather snort wasabi ! ! !

Been there done that in the good old days when working for Goodyear in their labs as the Asian import tyres started to hit the market. I tested a wide range with some frightening results with one memorable 4 x 4 tyre flying apart at 120kph. Passenger tyres were substantially cheaper back then with appalling abrasion resistance with what looked like inferior raw materials. There first batches were quite good but after that the arse dropped out the quality with the common trend of substituting raw materials.

I don't have any kids. But I take out the small child that resides in me and scare the crap out of it every time I take out the R33 ! Does that count ?

Oh yes the good old days ! I remember that track in the day an thinking this is unforgiving with no room for any errors as you'd be like the ball in a pinball machine. To dive it at speed beforehand, you'd have to go down to your local fruit shop and buy a couple of coconuts and shove them down your pants ! !

Don't sweat it ! I've just taken a spin around Catalina Park Raceway . . . . . . and its still there . . . .sort of . . . . . now that's confusing !

I've got a cracked drivers side outer rear brake light lens that has finally annoyed me. So I'm after a tail light to swap it out. Can also just be the lens. Located at he foot of the Blue Mountains in Sydney's far west for pick up. PM what you've got
