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?

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

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...

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Victory · Posted

      All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.

      New owner of a Skyline R32 GTS

      It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.
