Where's the censors when you need them. I just saw a gillette ad on tv for the "nitro" shaver... I was shocked to see a ...... SUPRA ...... What's happened to common sense & good taste in advertising, surely a nice r34/33 or even a 32 would create a better image than some latte racer cruising lygon st or williamstown....

?? WTF

do you want to to draw more attention to Skylines?

just remember that skylines aren't the be all and end all of cars...

there is a thing called 'choice' and everyone has their own opinion of nice cars.

don't be narrow minded.

PS Supras kick r32/33/34 gtsts every time.

well the equivalent Supra to a GTST would be the 3litre non turbo... so no... no they dont. My sick VL kicks them all!

:thumbsup:

but ive seen that add and seeing as there are far more Supras in America then Skylines what do u expect? Supras were imported to the States unlike the very low volume of Skyrines. Was probably made on a tight budget lol well it looks like it was anyway

The supra is renowed for it's strength/power and reliability all over the world, even if the commercial was done with a low budget it is good to see Jap cars on tv, Gillet also has used cars such as ferraris so may be is not a low budget after all.

      Rb25det Belts Change

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Everything I found online said never use it because it'll dramatically reduce belt lifespan.  No, but I have seen excessive v-belt tension cause the audible bearing noise from excessive radial load in things like alternators. So don't overdo it. Ideally you set it to manufacturer spec using a proper belt tension guage. I tried the "clicker" type gauges but those cheap things are trash. They read way too low even when you're careful.

      HKS stroker kit step 0/1 or HKS GTIII 2530

      This is kind of where I've ended up for the most part. It's easier for me, easier for shops that don't have to deal with my weird criteria/picky standards, etc.

      Will do. Suprised if it's not the starter motor considering it's 30 years old. Will get a volt meter though. Battery is close to new.   Cheers for your help, always appreciated.

      This almost never happens these days. No. Clean your battery terminals and make sure they are tight. Use sandpaper on a dowel if you have to, to get oxidation off the inside of the terminals, particularly on the -ve. Check the earth cable from battery post to chassis ground and engine ground. Make sure the contact surfaces are clean - including the threads on the bolts that anchor them - because that's where a lot of the contact occurs. Wire wheel on a drill is a good thing for this. Make sure the crimps on those cables are all sound. Assuming none of that causes an improvement: Check the battery voltage after it has been resting for a while. If it's at the lower end of the range, put it on charge for a while, then see if it will crank better.

      I just checked my belt, it wasn't super loose but I could bend it past 90 degrees a small amount so I tightened it up and for the first time ever my car didn't crank first time, had to crank it again lol. Don't know if that was because I tightened the belt or if it's my starter motor going out (been having slow starts for some time). Coulda also been when I was recording I didn't crank the key properly and it didn't save the recording lol.   Is that a thing if you overtighten a belt it struggles to start?
