ok were to start.

i owned a R31 skyline for 4 year and got rid of her 4 months ago. it was about a mounth after she had gone and i hadn't driven that it started.

i wrecked her to pay of a loan and buy my project car a 4dr R32.

i then decided i was going to buy my dads camery.

how ever one day as i was sitting in the 32 and i saw a 33 at a servo i decided to buy another 32 as a daily this how ever did not happen and i now have a 03 camery sportivo auto 4cy.

there are days when i've seen other car even a stock r33 at the servo and thought dam mate ill swap you the camery for the skyline.

i love jumping in to the 32 with it's m-spec seats which hug you and you feel like you belong there, were as in the camery it fiels like space and handles like $#%^.

so im going to wait two years get the project under way and pay of the camery and buy a GTR.

My skyline went into the shop for a service/tune/intercooler fitting yesterday and wont be ready until monday :P Have been driving my little capri around (my mum normally drives it). I have completely forgotten what it is like to have "power". I think I will appreciate it a lot more when I get her back. Its only been 24 hours, I don't know if I can take it any more!

My GTR is currently in the shop... has been for 2 weeks now. Probably another 2 weeks too... it's killing me really. I hate seeing other skylines around. Saw a nice tuned up 32 GTR the other day envied it like hell. Oh well, it's coming back over 300kw so hopefully that keeps me entertained for a while :P

Ok, so maybe I went a little overboard in my last comment lol. I think I meant to say, "I now remember what its like to have no power at all". My capri is such a slug, but its pretty hard to get caught speeding in it which is a bonus.

Pop quiz: When I get my car back on monday, will the new front mount intercooler be much louder/ make more induction noise than the standard side mount? I'm trying to keep things looking/ sounding as stock as possible. Might even paint the cooler black or something to remove the bling factor?

It's all about the "net gain" huh? Thats the way we have to approach these hurdles I think

My car is in the middle of a rebuild at the moment & I have been driving this Nissan navara ute.

Miss the power, But this ute is heaps of fun in the wet and weve been getting plenty up here lately!

I have had a different problem - two R33 Skylines in the shed and me lying in bed for weeks with a stuffed back - now that is torture.

Then when I finally can walk again I can only drive the GTS-T because my back cannot cope with the hard ride of the GTR.

Ouch!

The irony is though, that the shape of the GT-R seats are in fact better for your back, especially thru' twisties. It's just the bumps I know. Is it a V-Spec susp'n? Will your back recover over time? Getting the right treatment? Do you want a loan of standard springs on your GT-R in case you have a V-Spec?

Two and a half year since the 32 came off the road for the planned overhaul. Who knew I'd be so out of funds shortly afterwards? Grrrr....

Absolutely zero thoughts of selling her, and when she's finished, it will all be done 100%, no compromise!

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      brake clearance depends on spoke design GT-R size I'd go 9.5 +15 or +12, and if you've rolled your guards, 10" +20. People run 10.5 but I reckon that's too wide.

      I was using Realdash App on my entertainment unit in the sil80. Can connect over USB/bluetooth, can set up warnings and is discreet and doesn't stand out bonus was using android auto so had maps and music still going. Put the dollars saved from a screen into decent ecu, sensors and other upgrades.

      Here’s something I was wondering. From the colour of the fuel that came out of the old filter and how hard it was to take it out, I would assume that was clogged AF! Do you think the car was running lean during those times? And would it now run better now that the flow is better? Or would it run rich for a while and then start adjusting?  I’m not really sure if the R34 ECU adjusts to changes like this. I mean it’s an ECU from 2000, not AI 😂 But also, interested to know if anything like that is there.

      Rob's S Chassis track cars. Now with more s15 and less 180sx

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      Have made a start on the dump pipe. Ordered a few 3.5 inch bends and pie cuts. To make fit up and tacking a bit easier cut some slots in an old t bolt clamp. It's been a tight fit but managedto get it down under the car but still sits about 5-6mm below the chassis rail. Have started to weld it out but not had much time. Also got new orings and gasket so intake and injectors are back in with all the water bypass done. Another box arrived with bits for making a  swirl pot off the upper coolant neck. PWR are still waiting to make my intercooler and radiator but should be ready in 2 weeks. Slowly making a plan for a few suspension arm upgrades for when all engine/driveline is done. Got a busy period for work  ext few weeks so not much will happen on the car.

      Never ending fuel pump drama

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      I've had this happen with some cheaper kits and found the efihardware ones don't do this. I would go be pwm the pump no way need it at 100% all the time.
