hey guys and girls, i dont know if this introduction is in the right place, but as i live in canberra it seems appropriate.

dad and i are pretty into cars (he has a few nice ones) and as i will be looking at buying a skyline some time in the next year or so, i thought it would be good to learn heaps of stuff.

so i hope to have fun here and i am always seeing skylines around, so im sure most of them are owned by you guys.

cheers dave

hey guys, its the new v8 model and it is station wagon (haha it was so he could convince mum to get it). you might have seen it around, it is dark green. i dont think he will want to swap. hahaha he loves it too much, he lets me drive it a bit (supervised of course) its realy cool. ill get some pics.

there is another rs4 i have seen in canberra, and it is the twin turbo model, black i think it lives in deakin or narrabundah or thereabouts.

ill see what dad says about a spin, im sure some time in the future

hey cheers, yeah they look great, i mean just to be that good in a wagon means people who dont know dont think of it as anything special which is kinda cool. i dont suppose there is a guy called neil who uses this forum, he used to have a r32 four door a while back but i think sold it. he is a local canberra...i thought this would be the kind of place he would hang out at

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
