Hey, hows it going? The name's Andrew and I'm 19. Here's a bit of background about my obsession with Skylines.

First off, I'll start by saying I DON'T currently own a skyline :P but I'm a huge fan of them ever since I first saw one (back when R32 and R33 GTS-Ts was a very rare sight on the roads).

The sexy looks they had got me intrested, but it was a ride in a mates Tommy Kaira R33 GTS-T (shame it was auto) that I started to relise that these things are the perfect package: show AND go.

Needless to say, I have wanted one in my driveway ever since.

Having cousins and mates who owned turbo imports, they pretty much advised me to steer away from a turbo import cos for my age (and virtually no job), maintaining one is going to be the biggest cost killer.

If you cant afford to keep it, then it doesnt matter if you can afford to buy it.

So that's how I ended up with the CH Lancer I have now. Perfect for now (except the street cred, good looks, power etc of a Skyline of course) until I get off my P's and get a real job. Also gives me time to save up for either a R32 GT-R or a R34 GT-T coupe and the mods. :D

Found out about SAU ages ago, but didn't sign up cos I knew I was still way off from owning one, but in a few years I hope to own one, so I thought now would be a good time to sign up and learn about the pitfalls associated with one so when it comes time to buy, my research is properly done. :P

I posted some pics of the car I have now (few things have changed since these photos, but looks basically like that), so if you see me, give us a yell. :D

If theres a members ride section (for non-skylines) then I would post them there with some other pics of the interior etc..

Cheers.

hoenstly? i will trade you my cefiro for that..

...wtf you want a skyline for when you have that??

i'd have that over a skyline personally

...you're a freak mate. :banana:

Serious? Thanks mate. Always loved the Skylines, always will. Give me a choice of a Lambo or a R34 GT-R, then I can guarantee I'll walk away with the keys of the GT-R. :D Yes, I am a freak. LOL

Welcome....not bad for a bloke with virtually no job!

LOL Yeah, I say virtually no job cos drug dealing and mugging aernt considered legitament jobs. BAAAHAHAHHA Nah, jokes. I just get a few bucks here and there from parents and from helping out as a waiter. :banana:

welcome welcome!!! first off.... wow i hate lancers (non evo) but hell man uve managed to make that look quite nice.... im sure its practical and cheap to run for ya! plus u will get alright resale when u make the move to a skyline!!

Thanks mate. Glad you like it. The R32 in your avatar looks pretty good..... wanna swap? LOL used to hate Lancers, but after searching around, I found that they were pretty good for what they are, especially the later models (CG, CH). Its still practical, but nowhere near as practical as what it would of been from the factory (subs, amps, PS2 etc). That's why I have a daily VN Commodore to thrash and to park at the train station when school rolls around again. :D:thumbsup:

lol not really, dad lives in pakky and i come past every weekend and stay.

So u come down to pak to wash ur car?? lol its not a bad car wash aye :D

Yeah, its alright. Never really packed so its good for a wash when I'm in a hurry, whereas the Narre one I usually go to is packed. Otherwise, if I'm at school I go to the Yarraville/Footscray one. :(

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      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

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      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

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      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.

      By The Bogan · Posted

      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????
