Re: D1 Website

Quote from the Site:

We have over 20 years experience in performance vehicle tuning, drag racing, drift and circuit, both in Japan and Australia.

My Brother is only 27, how can he have that experience??? He also isnt interested in Drags and Curcuit and he never did either of them in Japan??

1 of my mate own a performance shop in hk, so i am thinking of importing parts, as it's even cheaper than Japan, if i can match the prices of Greenline, but offer people of choice sending by sea(save a lot from postage), plus i might able to get them tax free or a bit less (if u purchase from them, u have to pay 15% to the custom and 10%GST) will u guys order from me?

well, i match the price of Greenline, they seems to be the cheapest i seen in Aus. But i offer cheaper post method and paying less tax http://www.greenline.jp/catalogue/bcpartli...ntake=FI#engine

If u can get a qoute cheaper than greenline, let me know, i think i still can match it. First, i should get parts cheaper than them, second, i am not a shop, i don't support my living by selling parts....

for how long they arrive aus. that's all depends on the post office... the sooner u want, the more postage u pay.

if people are interest, i might start organise something about it.

EMS postage from Japan for 6 injectors only cost me 31 dollars, and I know when its arriving as they have a tracking number, so its not a big expense.

Its ok to buy stuff from os - god knows I do, but that is if you want new, and you can fit it your self - If it was something that I couldnt fit myself, I personally would buy it local and get them to fit as well, may cost a few extra $$, but at least you have peace of mind and a guaranteed result.

Also for second hand and hard to find parts, you can see what you are getting and if it doesnt work you have a comeback.

Good and bad on both sides I guess

Lastly IMO if it is only a couple of dollars more to buy local, why not support adelaide business? They put something back into the community.

    • If the RB29 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.
    • Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.
    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
