Thanks for your help everyone. I appreciate it. I guess I wont be racing for a little while.

Group of people hanging around out front of a pub that had just closed, me and another Skyline stopped at the lights and someone yells out, "Look at the Monaro's" !!!!! Generally I get nothing but nice comments and friendly waves from other cars but most Skyline drivers dis me. Apart from Shonen and GTR-80Y I've never had a friendly acknowledgment from an Asian looking Skyline driver. They are pretty Aussie-Asians though. Don't know why this is. The only time I ever got beat at a traffic light grande prix was when I miss-pressed the button to change into 2nd gear whilst next to a SS ute. The guy thought he was so good. Oh hang on... I remember one other time... A Datto 1600 with some serious power absolutely killed me in Canberra one time. Holy shit that thing was fast. He was doing 3rd gear fishies at 100km/h. His comment, "Get a Datto mate!"

Better stereo, sunroof, nicer seats. I think it's a GT-V if it doesn't have a turbo.

I don't think I'm covered. Am still trying to figure it out. Thanks for the condolences and peeled eyes guys. I will be checking trading posts and the like. They didn't try to take the car thank god (or whoever) and the car was very clean so the cops are hoping that they left some fingerprints on it. Cops were really good about it. Came around within an hour and are fingerprinting some time today.

I just had my garage broken into and my spare wheels and tyres stolen. They are my Original GTT wheels which everyone recognises of course and I've found a pic of one of them. They forgot to take the centre caps also which may help find them. They have some quite worn Falkan tyres on them and I'm so glad I hadn't gotten around to putting new semi slicks on like I had planned. I'm in Sydney Eastern suburbs but they could be anywhere around so if people see them advertised or see someone who just got a set cheap without the centre caps then please let me know. Thanks.

HKS 2530. Pricey but a known quantity and would suit you. I'm going to highflow myself but if I was going HKS I'd go for a 2535 because I'm not scared of the redline but I don't want to sit around waiting for it to get going.

Oohh, shiny! Umm, you're a bit far away Bass...

About 5 litres if you pump it out as above or about 3 if you drain from the sump. Now you can see why it's better to pump it out. This is the 34 box. It's different from the 33 box but I have no idea how different.

12 psi - odds are in your favour.

They come standard on GTX's I think.

You already have a transmission cooler. Are you going to the track? I have been to several track days and only once had the auto light come on which a couple of slow laps fixed. I'm thinking of putting a bigger one on myself at some stage though. I don't understand what you mean by your references to your radiator there. Apparently it's safe to do the above.

Jeez this thread is expanding faster than a giant firecracker snake.

I also reckon it's the gasket between the turbo and manifold as I had that. A couple of laps later it spat out a whole chunk of gasket and got even louder while going somewhere not so fast.

Your power curve is kind of a funny shape. Any idea why? Not bagging it (I only have 189.4 rwkw), just curious.

Take the hose off the transmission cooler at the front of the car and point it into a bucket. Put the transmission in neutral and start the car. When the fluid stops pumping out it's empty. If you use the drain plug only about 3/5 of the fluid will come out. You don't put oil in auto transmissions. I'm about to put Redline High Temp ATF in mine and I'm expecting good things. Sharper shifting, less slippage. Will let you know.

What lap times has it done? Prefer Eastern Creek and or Wakefield. Has anything been done to the M21 to strengthen it?

Shape wise good but I reckon it shows up the oldness of the paintwork.

I saw it but it's not a skyline also spotted a daewoo and a wrex and a purple ute.

DBA 4000's are slotted but I don't know much else.

Spotted about 5 R34 GTR's 30 R31's and older, a few GTT's and a few R32's and R33's at Harold Park PAceway yesterday. Very nice.

My knob refuses to budge.

I can't stand the wankers who put them on unncessarily. They don't seem to understand that light is cumulative. None of the 4 lights might be very bright but together it's too much. Don't forget when they test your low beam it's not to see if it's bright enough it's to see if it's dim enough not to dazzle.

I want to put some Redline fluids in my transmission and diff. Does anyone know how much they hold? Are there any tricks to replacing the fluids?

I am just about to play around with different fluids in mine to get some sharp shifting. Will report back.

Forgive my ignorance but the bottom end for an RB31 comes from what? A VL Turbo? R31?
