Since LadyBytes has "let the cat out of the bag", Yes, I did get my skyline last night (Friday). I drove it back from Sydney.

Its a stock R34 GTT with white enkie 17" wheels and and after market air filter (pod).

These photos are from carsales, as I havent conned Tuk Tuk to take any photos yet, I really need to give it a good clean, polish and wax first, but this should give you an idea.

I'm pretty over the moon with it, Now I gotta get its rego changed over which means a few things..

The pod isnt going to get over the pits, has anyone got a stock air filter I can borrow to get this over the pits?

Also, I'm going to need tyres. Michele told me to talk to you Mick about some road federals, I dont want the 595s - I'll kill myself with them :) I'll send you a PM.

Also, big thanks to Turismo for going and having a look at the car initially for me.

Now, I guess the fun begins....

Grats on the car,looks good, as long as the pods secured it should get passed by dickson as far as I know. I had my car switched late last year and back then at least pos were legal in the act.

Thanks CeJay, I might give Dickson a call - see if I can get any sence out of them!!!will be difficult!!!

I might have to go for a quick walk one arvo to check this driveway out! =D

Pete, were your ears burning yesterday?

An old friend of yours was asking why you weren't competing in the hillclimb yesterday... said you should get your @rse out there.

Yeah? I know a few people that it might be, care to narrow it down?

Also, do you guys see many Evos or Corollas in your little street of Skyliney goodness?

Does Corollas narrow it down enough or do you need more info?

We get Evos at the track... but managed to keep them under control the last two times, they're fast though and its about their turn to come up and whip our butts.

So when are you joining us at the track? Michael said you should be there.

Get your ass out there Pete! Would be interesting to see what your beast can do around the track! Also would be good to see if the look on your face is similar to most others when the 'little' corolla cruises through quicker than them...

Actually, i'm not quite at skyline level yet, but i'm getting closer. the best look of the day was when michele came through quicker than mark in the gtr!

So i'll see u there in november Pete? :rolleyes:

    • Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.
    • I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want. 
    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue. 
    • Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder
    • Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
