Yes, I've been in the same type of situation before Paul at the Cameron Burke Memorial Car Show at Springwood

It was still fun talking to kids who recognised the potent R34 GTR from their PS2/X Box at home.

Nice to make a contribution :)

Thanx Terry,but the interest was right across the age group's,with comment's like "mummy look it's a race car,oh i like the colour" to "dad look at this, keep going son it's jap".The good thing was a few stopped and wanted to talk about the car.

Keep going son it's Jap.........reminds me of last year when a 2012 HSV GTS pulled up next to me at set of lights with what looked like Dad driving and Son in passenger seat. Dad said loudly and obnoxiously to son,"would'nt pull the skin off a rice puddin". Needless to say at the next set of lights the Dad was hanging his head in shame and the son looked awe inspired at my car! I still laugh about it. :no: I like cars for what they are not who made them. By the way nice looking 34, the graphic stripes remind me of the HKS 34 demo car.

Not stock gtr? Haha, good story :)

Yeah it was the same at Springwood.

For the oldies, it was a love or hate thing...

I took a mate of mine for a drive yrs ago and I only had 365awkw at the time...he didnt say a word for about 5min whilst in the car and when he jumped out "how much do u want for it?"

He owns many classic v8s, yes terry he changed his mind

Lol i like this.... ONLY ;)

HP is an addiction and its never enough :)

Haha yeah i know, and like most addictions it is expensive and comes with many long term side effects :P

Actually, i finally said i was happy with my car and needed no more for what i want to do with it... See how long that lasts lol

That purple looks heaps better in that light! The original pics i saw were kind of dull! Still not my taste but it certainly stands out :yes:

Yes the colour has a new look to it with the light on it. Very nice.

    • Por qué no los dos? Body colour red with black stripes down centre, onto bonnet and bootlid.
    • From my bolts, standard M8 with 1.25mm thread pitch (M8x1.25mm).    Length is 19mm under the head and has a captive 18mm OD flat washer.   20mm length from a bolt shop is what you'll be able to get.   Make sure they're zinc plated.    If you're concerned about strength, grade 8.8 will be more than enough. Original PN is 01121-04971.  Now discontinued according to Amayama but that's because it's one of the parts that's been captured by the Heritage program, which explains the ridiculous price.   New PN is 01121-RHR20: https://nismodirect.com/nismo-heritage-bolt-pin-hinge-hood-bnr32-nissan-skyline-gt-r-01121-rhr20-01121-04971/ About AUD33 converted from Yen in the above link but that's just one example. Interesting that the hinge-to-body bolts are still available non-heritage.....PN 08116-8161G around $2 each (amayama).    Same thread but 16mm long.
    • Well, if that filter was impeding fluid flow, then it could have similar effects to faulty solenoids. The TCU will register a fault when it does something (ie, changes the state of a solenoid) and does not detect the required result. If there are other causes that can make the same lack of result, then they will be indistinguishable to the expected cause for which the TCU has a code.
    • Yellowjackets, red ones, blue ones (other than Splitfire) have all been demonstrated to be unreliable on turbo engines. That unreliability can be anything from outright failure (ie, 4 out of a set of 6 working out of the box) to just not being strong enough for the task, on a boosted engine. Not enough of us care about NA engines to know whether that unreliability is an issue for the undemanding needs of an NA RB20. I should think though that the DIS-008 should fit the 20. There's not really any reason for the head/coil mounting area to be any different on those 2 Neos. I wouldn't be buying Splitfires, or any other old tech coilpack, for a car in this day and age though. I would buy modern pencil coils and do what needs to be done to adapt them to the loom. That's relatively trivial these days, with numerous kits for fitting R35, or Audi, or Yaris/Corolla coils.
    • Keen to see how much work is needed to get an abandoned Skyline going. My R32 has been sitting idle for three years or so but finally got some time to get it going again. (Also lurking SAU and trying to hit 10 posts so I can start my own intro thread with pics)
