Well I am now over the shock of the spoiler smash and have had time to take a close look at the new car. As well as the spoiler TNT also put some nice scratches on the car as well. They WILL pay ..make sure you NEVER use them.

Apart for this the car is good for a 6 year old car. I was in shock when I looked at the back muffler....it's huge!...and I was even more surprised when a quick look underneath revealed ..it went as far back as I could see...at least 4 inches.But nice and quiet, just as I like em.

Inside the car is a blitz boost gauge mounted on the A pilar ( have removed for road worthy)..a little clear "thing" with blue leds was siting on the dash (with wires atatched)..the lights flash in sequences when you press the button ...just a japanese decoration???.....and also there is a switch with a red cover over it that looks like a nitrouse/aircraft type switch...I am guessing it's a hi/lo boost switch...guess I find out once I on the road.

Anyway its good to be back in the club. Looking forward to metting up on sunday.

I've yet to see a high/low boost switch in a japanese car. they generally don't run turbosmart style bleed valves over there,which makes sense,as they get a proper EBC for about the price of a slab of beer more than we do for those crap hi/lo bleeders.

the switch is probably for spotlights or something that the previous owner removed before he put the car in for auction.

      this thread delivers, once again Skyline owners, our cars spend more time off the road than on the road

      Some of the stuff the PDR guys in the states pull is amazing too. Instead of drilling a hole. They crank some insane tension into it. I actually DIY built a pulling bar myself that I used to pull the Subarus front end out with. About an hour's work, a bit of 30mm *3mm shs, and a piece of 5mm thick plate. Worked great!   But I vote replace it with a GTR rad support. And not going to lie, I'll laugh if a GTR rad support doesn't fit a GTt...

      Sorry, that was with regards to the rather pretzeled corner of the reo bar. It's in such a state over the years that drilling a hole is probably preferable to bothering to unbolt the thing

      No need to drill any holes. There's plenty of access to reach through and behind all of that steel to "push" from behind with a pulling action on the slide hammer. There's all sorts of attachments you can screw on the end of them.

      Yea the photos aren't the best. When I was pulling the bumper and headlights out there was a bodyshop guy looking on for it, there is a slight bend behind where the passenger headlight is, but we're talking a few MM and there is a little bit of a bend for the reo. That said it's supposedly well within the "Drill a hole in it and pull it out with a slide hammer to be close enough" and be on our way. The other option is to buy a GTR reo for the GTR bumper bits but this is a $2000+ fix for something Mr Hammer can probably do 99% of the job for and everything will/can line up pretty closely-to-good-enough.
