Fishpaste: You car looked mighty fine Friday night, not sure what needs tidying up? :wub:

SO: Being a wasteland and a place for general chat, how old are people on here? On the cruise on friday night I was feeling a little old considering my cousin who is 8 years younger than me was there and most ppl seemed his age LOL

Im 26, 27 in 2 months. What's others ages?

there few scratches and marks in the paint work.. im super fussy, particually the rear left =(

im 25, but its all good =) we just need to teach these young wipper snappers whats what =P

Just as I thought, many a whipper snapper!

except for Madaz :wub:

Look forward to meeting more ppl next cruise though, was a bit dark at the start of Friday Nights to try to see/meet anyone and I had to leave from Barker.

22 here.

It's amazing how young people (myself included) have fancy cars nowadays. My dad was telling his first car was 1950 morris something mobile. And he was like 20 when he got it. So it was older than him.

By 19 i had a r34. And now have a motorcycle.

In other news a girl i dated for a short while about 4 years ago rang me yesterday wanting to catch up before she moves interstate. Initially i said yes then realised what the hell i was getting myself into. And promptly told her i was unable to see her this weekend.

car is sooooooo awsome!!! i love being a skyline owner!!!!! such awsome looking cars, and get a massive smile everytime i drive the thing (nothing quite like the feeling of boost, amiright?? =P)

the stairs you get when you pull into petrol stations... they are priceless =)

but it needs a bit of work i thinks, brakes need changing, and there is a bit of fixing up needed on the body work. want to get that fixed up first. also want to do a complete fluid change over, i think its making a slight tapping sound? and dad thinks there is a sound like a wheel bearing playing up as well... oh and suspension, its just BAD!! super hard, even brand new aussie roads are like giant pot holes for me... will get SK to hook me up at some point in time

lots to do, lots of money needed, but soooo worth it!!!

havent got the hang of driving it yet, partly because its manual, partly because its 1000000000000000000000000000000000 times better than my 91 camry =P (and i dont drive it all that often)

Yeah I get a massive smile when I drive mine aswell :P

Mine needs work aswell but these cars are going on nearly 17yrs old so has to be expected....Im upgrading brakes to Brembos and she needs a respray and I want to go white I reckon and I am going to get blistein suspension all the way round...

I have my first track day coming up aswell in July so should be awesome to see how the cars goes and how I go also lol

siff take the fuse out :) i dont have that luxury

Sif not take fuse out.....I know R33 should of had that option :wub:

I'm 26 and I feel very old in Sydney as most under 25 that come out on the cruises but more of a older generation for track days and motorkhana's but it all pans out in the end

Go the tripple post :)

what you doing with you old brakes :P you can send them my way ill pay shipping :P

Ages are starting to even out. :wub: I guess its the "Friday Night Crowd" that is the youngans LOL.

I'm very interested in this sunday cruise Paully made mention of.

For Sunday cruises my wife will usually come along too, she hates being out late on friday nights just sitting in the car, although she usually looks for other lass's to talk to. So begs the next Q: Am I one of a few Married ppl on here too? Or even in long term relationships?

Just trying to get to know the ppl I chat too :)

Well I'm 25 for what its worth...

Have owned 2 silvias, (1st one n/a, 2nd one turbo - almost identical otherwise) and now I have a stagea :bunny:

I miss the silvia for its nimbleness and handling but the stagea is way nicer to drive (ie. LOTS more comfortable).

Cant say which is faster between my modified silvia turbo (133rwkw) and the stagea (~180rwkw equivalent).

Hoping to get a r33 s2 skyline within the next couple years as my drive-to-work car (stagea is too heavy for daily runaround, and yet too practical to sell).

Its weird, I always like the r34 shape better, but having seen some stock r33's and 34's up close, I actually would now prefer a 33 (s2). Not trying to start a flamewar lol, but just saying that I'd prefer a stock 33 to a stock 34, based on looks alone. And with everything else factored in, I'd have a nicer and faster car for the same money if I go with a 33 :) Thats pretty much the way I'm leaning at the moment - wont happen for a good while yet tho...

    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise    
    • My Fuga Hybrid is JDM, 2014 model but very similar to the V37 from the looks of things..same platform just physically larger and very comfortab;e
    • Was that Australia Delivered Duncan? Does it have siren etc?   I used to have remote start on an old 32 two decades ago, it was a cool feature. I used to wake up early in winter for work. Start it and by the time i was out the door a few minutes later the engine was warmed up and the heaters had the car toasty. It was great.    I don’t mine the ambience lighting.  I drive a western star and it has footwell lights and ambient lighting and it’s great! From the pics of seen of them installed in a skyline I think it’s a nice touch
