I just need to sell it and time to upgrade to a Series II skyline...

I got like nearly 600km on a tank when I drove down to Port Stephens last summer with the A/C on all the way...

So yeah, I think it still drinks less than a skyline..

i own a cressida i was getting avrage 450km a tank daylie driving every thing from trashing peak to hwy driving

there good cars and alot of mods can be had if you want go that way :)

i2obert: LOL, but you don't get the same respect as being in a skyline haha..

but I want a car with airbags, and ABS... I've had a fair amount of misses with my old VN SS, handled like a boat around Palm beach.. Live Axel sucks....

Furthermore, there's too much work to convert it to 2JZ, I've been researching, too much time and fabrication blah blah..

and the worse part, there's not an abundance of aftermarket parts for a 2JZ motor, RBs and SRs, parts are available everywhere.

Quinny: You've got PM

I really want a R33 S2, but I'm broke now.... But I would settle for a S1.5 or even buy a damaged S2 and fix it to save money.

As for Quinny, if he had accepted my offer before, I would have been a skyline owner.

Its got the Non-Turbo 7M-GE supra motor in it, should be easy to bolt on a 7M-GTE turbo and run stock boost, or even take out the motor and fully do a swap with a 2JZ or 1JZ out of a Aresto, or JZX81 Chaser.

Bump, just changed:

- 2x Shift solenoids

- Transmission Oil filter

- Transmission Oil

- Transmission Sump Gasket

    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
    • Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
