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. :(

      I recently got their dbw 74mm throttle body and pedal kit. It is sensational quality especially the wiring harnesses. Unfortunately I can’t answer u about the fitment to stock inlet manifold as I’m going Rahjab Racing forward plenum. Only one thing to be careful of is understand u have to pay gst and import fees if your purchase is over $1,000 in one shipment.

      yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.

      I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps

      Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.
