Hi forum.. :wave:

I just joined up to get extra informaiton about skylines as i want to buy a skyline 96 or 97 model. r33 i guess

I just have to questions:

Why did nissan stop its skyline models after 1999?? than it made a another model in 2003 than it stopped again. i am not sure plz correct me if i am wrong.

If models are stopped that means parts would be hard to get in two years time?

is it easy to get parts for skylines in Queensland??

Only thing worries me is the parts for skylines, if u can't get it straight away it will sit in workshop for ages.

Please reply back and give me some advice.

Cheers

Ranjha :sorcerer:

If you have just joined, start searching you will find that you seek here. if nothing then ask questions The ease of getting parts is limited by time and money. Time to search money to buy.

That is irrelevant question just because they stop making the model doesnt mean the parts stop, companies alike are still making parts suitable for r33's and r32s easy to get parts as well, check out those sites that have these parts in store to see for yourself. at the end of the day money is your limiting factor, if you cannot afford do not get thats simple.

skylines are money pits if you want them to be money pits. GTR's are more expensive for a reason, check out the differences between gtr's and gtst's you shall find these in the search function of this forum.

holden parts? more to the fact that holden use some nissan parts, parts and numbers will and can be accessible via the search function.

Skylines are not expensive to maintain if you purchase a good one at the start, get a trusted mechanic to go over it and do all the coresponding enging checks (eg, leakdown test, compression test ect...) as engine rebuilds are about $5k for a reasonable build. I got mine checked and it has run like a dream for 2 years now, the only time it was off the road was my fault :) . Also if you are chasing second hand parts there are lots of them going in the for sale section on SAU there is also a wanted section so you can post there and get parts that way. If you would like any more information give me a PM and I will point you in the right direction, but try a search first as just about everything you could need is on here somewhere.

      Could you modify this duct so instead it pushes the extra air through the radiator too and not down and out? For temps, I know it's not the greatest idea, but as a bit of a last resort, you could use a very intermittent misting spray onto the front of the coolers/rad. You don't want to be soaking them such that water is dripping off, but a small most on/off so that the water evaporates. That point of it constantly evaporating, rather than being soaked in water, will pull a LOT of heat out of the cooler. I'm literally thinking just the little mist sprayers for a garden from Bunnings. Being in a low humidity climate it will help even more! The other trick if you want to be ghetto is some shade cloth hung in the opening, and keep it wet. Pretty much now it's acting like an evap cooler on a house, but cooling the air you need to use to cool the radiator...   On a topic to think about too though, when air enters through the bumper, is it all nicely ducted from the edges of that opening back at a nice angle, or is it like most cars, and the edge of the opening just stops, and suddenly it's wayyy wider behind that? If it does the later, get it shrouded out at nice angles. When that opening changes too rapidly, it can actually cause a high pressure zone between the front bar and radiator, and limit air flow into that area, which means less air for cooling, as it effectively stalls the air, AND adds to drag...

      It doesn't look like there's a lot of options out there these days, and what's out there is performance oriented aftermarket stuff (with the GTR markup) I wonder if there are other cars with similar springs, after all its just a matter of length, diameter and stiffness. Alternatively, I did see coil spacers. Probably not the best option, but could be serviceable too.
