Where to get Skyline Serviced
r33skylinegtst replied to r33skylinegtst's topic in Australian Capital Territory
I know of Trojan, didn't know they were in Canberra though! Saw one of their cars once in a HPI (Skyline special maybe?) Series II in white, very nice car. Gave me some ideas for my own -
i used Optimax back when i first got my car. I wasn't driving at the time so i can't comment on perfromance, but i remember it made the exhaust fumes smell really bad. Don't use it myself anymore.

Spotted Terminal's Stagea parked in Civic. Love the wing at the back, looks VERY nice! i was parked near you, few spaces back. You were gone when i came back so i don't know if you saw my car or not.

Why go to all the trouble of putting that very schmick looking kit on, only to keep the stock wheels? :s im guessing they probably took to good rims off and put back on stockers. Just looks very odd.

Check the screws in the spoiler light. I was getting a bad rattle and i don't even have subs, found there was a screw missing in the spoiler light causing it to rattle.

Exhaust Manifold (RB25)
r33skylinegtst replied to r33skylinegtst's topic in Australian Capital Territory
Thanks for the help, Ed has managed to find one for $140 so i'm cheering. Can't wait to have my car boosting properly once again. -
Sorry to hijack the thread, but is it bad if my gearbox won't change into first unless im practically stopped or really slow? Like it won't shift at all. Is this a feature of the gearbox?

10 hurt as 'street race' car crashes
r33skylinegtst replied to 88silhouette's topic in General Automotive Discussion
The media are vultures, while it was wrong for the crowd to turn on them, you can't say they didn't have it coming. Otherwise, bunch of young idiots out to prove themselves and it ends in tradgedy, and it gives the rest of us a bad name. -
Leigh, it wasn't gold was it? I've spotted a gold Integra around a fair bit, fits that description. looks pretty ugly i reckon. Anyways, spotted a Gold/Yellow R33 with no wing in Fyshwick near Bing Lee, as well as an R33 Series I, gunmetal grey leaving my street...3 or 4 guys in the car, think one pointed out my car, anyone here?

Spotted SkyGTRLine on the way to tuggers. Pretty sure it was you anways. You were on ther other side of the road so you didn't see me wave.

Was that Veilside 33 white? I came up near it too, driver didn't pay any attention to me though. Also chatted to the owner of a midnight purple R33 GTS-t at Chisholm servo. Nice guy and a nice ride. Don't think he's a member here though.

I've Lost My License!!!!!!!!!!
r33skylinegtst replied to Veilside R33's topic in Australian Capital Territory
absolute bull. You did the right thing at the time, they shouldn't punish you for it now. And if you did exploit a loop-hole, it should be their fault for not controlling it in the first place. Good luck mate, i hope it works out. -
Exhaust Manifold (RB25)
r33skylinegtst replied to r33skylinegtst's topic in Australian Capital Territory
While i'd love to do something like that, or get a good aftermarket manifold, money is pretty tight for me till i can get a decent job, so i'm thinking a cheap second hand item will be the go. If only this came up two months later it wouldn't be such a problem for me. -
Hey everyone... Found out recently after a service at Integra that my exhaust manifold is cracked and i need a new one. Ed said that he should be able to find one for me, but he doesn't really know how much it will cost. I've had a quick look around the forums and seen stock second hand ones go from $50-$300, but i'm curious if anyone here has had to have theirs replaced and how much it cost? Also if anyone has one that they're willing to sell then drop me a line I figure it's easier to let Ed find it, as he knows his stuff and i can trust him with it. I'll be the first to admit that i don't know much about the mechanical aspect of my car, but anyways. Thanks in advance for any help.

there's a few threads on this because people wanted that psssshhh noise when you unscrew the fuel cap and they weren't getting it. Try searching the forums, i think someone said they are generic amongst newer Nissans and that one from a Pulsar will fit, but don't quote me on that. Run a search and see how you go.
-
Cheers! Saw you rolling up the driveway and recognised that huge FMIC. Car sounds tough! Thanks for the chat to, nice to finally talk to someone off the forums in person. Could have been me going to work.

Spotted last night, a silver R33 GTR with chrome wheels i think at some traffic light near the Waniassa turn off in tuggers. Didn't wave but i think he saw me go past. Anyone here? Also heading up my street an R33 behind me. Seemed they were getting pretty close. If you're on here, the speed limits 60 so get off my ass already

You have to realise some people slowing down for a look are enthusiasts, which can make it hard to discern between those taking a look and those scoping the car/security out. I had a Nissan Exa, white with big Nismo sticker up the side drive past my car in Woden a while ago, reverse and sit looking at the car for a few seconds before speeding off...heard on these forums they did the same to someone else. if you think someone looks suspicious, take down their rego and note the cars make/model/colour. You just can't be too careful these days. Also make sure not to give out your rego numbers and address on these forums, you don't know who's reading it.

I spotted that Blue S15 once, does it have chrome windscreen wipers or something? Only thing i can fault it for . he was having a squirt against some guy in a REX in tuggers from the lights to the form one lane infront of the shops. He won, car sounded wicked too.

So are you going to be an agent? My mum works in property management, can be a ***** of a job some days and very stressful. Just make sure you know what you're getting into but congrats otherwise and best of luck with it!

Spotted a blue R33 series 1 as i was leaving my street, waved but he didn't wave back. Then a black R33 Series1.5 on the way to work near Bunnings, waved and got one back. Also spotted a Silver R33 GTR heading to Tuggers from Chisholm, waved and think i got one back. And finally a black Series II with GTR wing near BP Chisholm, waved but got nothing back.

Spotted the other day... a big lump of bird **** in the middle of my bonnet. Went to wash it off at carlovers and guess what, it chips the damn paint! Argh! I hate birds!! It's only a small patch but the paint keeps chipping away. Not happy! That's more money i'm up for. Ah well. Sptted a dark blue Series I R33 at Chisholm Servo the other day, fmic, number plate mounted to the side and big exhaust, spotted it later that day outside Lanyon Video Ezy. Anyone here? Very clean looking car.

Yeah, that was probably me, would have been just after midday right? Don't worry bout the spelling of the name, i hate it. Is there anyway i can change that? Just call me Graham, it's easier
