im definately with all you guys i cant stop looking at it. when i get out of my car i keep looking back just to look at it. i did that at a parking lot the other day and nearly got hit by another car and when im at home i keep looking out the window just to see it, its crazy i think im hypnotyzed by it lol. in fact im hypnotized by all skylines i cant stop looking at them i think i have skyline-itis i might need to go and see a doctor about it.

Good as, i remember when i bought my 32, i couldnt get the smile off my face!!! ... then i got pulled over by the cops over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over. Then there was those hundreds apon hundreds spent a few months after just on maintainence... then i hit a wombat then i blew engine and the 8k rb25 upgrade. then it got tuned. right now its back its back in the mechanic for another $700 maintainence after i only got it back like 2 weeks ago with the new engine. then once i get it back, it goes back into another workshop to get the front bar resprayed. Brakes are going to have to be done next as they should be upgraded due to the amount of power it has now.

oh and theres a required fuel pump upgrade followed by another retune.

in short. hope you got some money in your pocket.

But its true, its so worth it, awesome cars!

i got my skyline 2months ago, got it checked out, loved it, clean. First thing i did was put new tyres on rear. so there goes my first 300

and so it felt bit gutless so I took it to get the AFC checked, it was running 155 rwhp! this is when I found out wrong settn was in the AFC and car was running lean..

First tune - $100 and i got a puncture on way ;) so tat was 20bucks

New 040 and re-tune and clean of AFM $550

but i came out 231hp and i had to gap my plugs and then it was running SWEET! :thumbsup: until i got a flaty again on other side of car this time! LOL

then about 1 week later it overheated! waterpump hadnt been replaced when I was told i had been. It cleary hadn't been when I saw the coroded fins and rooted innerseal.

so tat was $380

so in about 1 month I had alleady spent 1400 buks almost. Then i had a depresed day and i spun out on the fwy in the wet and rode the car off.

now i gota get a a NA skrine and swap my gear over and sell the spares and try to make some cash back. Car wasnt insured, didnt have it long enough to save up my premium in advance

well thats my last 2 months.... but hey i still love the look, the handling and smoothness and response and i miss it:P

I'm just puzzled why you'd have a pic of your rego in your sig :P

I wouldn't have thought anything of it, if it was a car pic and you didn't care if your rego was displayed; but what's the point of a dedicated rego pic, in the middle :domokun:

lol i was thinking the same thing.

And you drive alot near the city area, no wonder you get pulled over a lot.

If it was "TUF-733" then i may have said "ok whatever" but there are 999 "TUF" plates :domokun:

the TUF plates were on the car when i bought it.

and i have it there purely just for the "spotted thread" mebbe if someone sees a silver r33 s2 and sees the plates they might make the connection.

Hahaha blind elk.

And finster you gotta get used to it. Im in the same situation as you, drive slowly, car looks stock, but still get so many 'random' pull overs.

Sillylankan you think its gotta do with driving in the city? I would have assumed it would be worse in the suburbs, with less cars around and cops with nothing to do.

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
