.....funny as heck when my mate test drove it.. the looks from people at the lights as it 'lumped' its stupid butt off! He never bought it! But he really thought about it!

wrong....no one but me ever drove that car.

It no longer exists, the engine is now in a commonwhore.

Cheers

WRONG! the car i'm talking about was about 8 years ago! Blue 253 holden, quadrajet, 2.5 inch exhaust and a half cage, and it was all engineered approved. had (if i can remeber right..)a toyota 4 speed behind it! It went very well.. but he just couldn't bring himself to owning a poo coloured datto! I remember it well because he hit me up for a loan to help buy it.. I was all for it.

I never said i was talking about the same car..

not as bad as 180's and silvia's.

i welcome making skylines the new commodore. means more research and development will go into their products. further increasing their market share and as a result... decreasing prices...

=economies of scale :D

doesnt an s15 say silvia on the dash?? even the aus spec ones? Just trying to remember from my bosses car

Yes on the passengers side...

says silvia on the headlights too

And also on the side steps as you enter the car the word "SILVIA" is etched in stainless... :P

The standard gear stick knob also has the silvia's "S" on it...

Who really gives a crap about silvia's anyhow?

speaking of them.. If I owned one, I would put another engine in it! Just to piss ALL those SR freaks off! something like.. umm.. probably a toyota engine!

Of all the car brands that i have seen modified by their owners, the old silvia has to be the most modified, but buy far the poorest!

Really big turbo's that don't make boost until 5500.. or later, those stupid little BOV's that don't flow air (they just make a horrid noise) and exhausts that sound like a bumble bee has farted in a storm water drain.. and then there is the suspension!

When you are finished playing with your toys.. come play with the big boys!

    • 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..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
    • Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
