I've been a member for a short time but I have gained a lot from this forum. Thanks to STYLZ7 for working with me in getting some connectors for my Nismo r33 gauge cluster. I don't own a skyline but i have an RB25det in my 95 240sx. When you guys have a chance, check out our forum.

Also I will visiting Melbourne, Au this coming Friday for two weeks. If anyone can suggest some performance shops in the area it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again for all the help. This is an awesome forum. :sleep:

Welcome...

if you like your silvias head down to "driftline racing" in campbellfield, melbourne... there's always a few to poke around at there, including a 180SX ute we're building, and I'm sure we can hook you up with some parts. we don't really have any performance parts retailers in aus that are of decent value like you do in the US or in japan (autobacs n the like). its pretty much a string of wreckers that have aftermarket bolt ons for sale. THe closest thing to a proper aftermarket retailer is probably JustJap in Sydney if you're visiting there.

That said... Australia's got as many skylines running around as you guys have corvettes, so you should be able to get your hands on plenty of RB-specific spare parts and aftermarket parts on the cheap.

Good choice on South Melbourne bud, I live there :P

Unfortunately there are no decent performance shops in the area, or anywhere really close by. If your looking for something specific or want to check out a certain shop PM me and if I have some time I might be able to give you a ride doen there.

IMO though there are MUCH MUCH better things to check out than the car workshops in melbourne. Particularly considering the spring like weather we are getting ATM.

Well I really just wanted to check out the car scene here. If you know of any of the local car spots/hang outs around the area maybe we can hook up. I'm staying at the Quest on Dorcas on 8 Dorcas Street. Tomorrow I'm renting a car so i can check out some shops. I can be reached at the following email which comes directly to my cell phone. [email protected]

Thanks.

By the way what do you drive? :)

Welcome to Melbourne mate. Most of it's already mentioned. NissanSilvia have regular meets if you were looking to attend a cruise:

http://www.nissansilvia.com.au/forums/index.php?showforum=36

Or VicStreetScene, you'll get a taste of lots of rubbish Aussie cars, and some okay ones:

http://www.vicstreetscene.com/forum/index.php?showforum=23

I'm not saying their cruises are any good though. The car's scene isn't as big as it used to be in Melbourne. And we don't have many retail places for car parts, or workshops you can just browse around.

    • That's a short. Find the short. It will be somewhere between that fuse and the headlight. Start by removing the plugs from the back of the headlight and dimmer switches, and measure resistance to earth. Supply side (power from the fuse) should have none. The other side should have resistance compatible with whatever globe(s) is there (which is relatively easy to say for a normal globe, perhaps not as easy to say for LEDs). Anyway, if you have very low resistance, you defo have a short. Then you just have to run the wiring like you're running the bowel of a dog (on the operating table) that has swallowed something it wasn't supposed to.
    • Hey guys, need help figuring out why my driver side (RH) fuse 15amp keeps blowing. The Driver Sides Headlamp is out, i replaced these a long time ago with LED ones that were working for 1-2 years. Now, the driver side light is out and i traced it back to a broken fuse. I replaced the 15 amp fuse in the engine bay and as soon as i flip the headlight on, it blows the new fuse. Any idea what's going on?
    • I found the same with Subaru’s.  I own and love the SG9 Forester, after that model 2008+, Subaru threw the ugly stick at all their line up and somehow managed to make them look worse with every succeeding year.  lol
    • It's something we all have to consider as time marches on. Also consider lifted rally MX5 conversion at that point.
    • I should be fine for a few more years, whilst I do have arthritis I also exercise and do mobility training every day to keep as fit and healthy as I can, military life, which is the actual cause of most of my joint issues, has set daily regimes, which I weirdly enjoy I also train alot smarter now, not really focusing on lots strength or puffy muscles, I'm more focused on maintaining what I have for my future older self, I actually train as much mobility now as I do exercising Check out this "simple" drill I have been doing daily prior to training now for a while now, this has worked wonders in my all round mobility
