woo hoo, we'll be able to 0wn silver-arrowz down the straight at EC if he goes for a NA v8! Yay!

My blood boils when I see threads like this.

My friend spoke to an exhaust fitter the other day, he recommended getting a WRX because there are way more R33's then WRX's around.............

Bottom line is: IF YOU WANT A UNIQUE CAR GO BUY A FERRARI. DONT COME ON HERE TELLING US ABOUT HOW MANY SKYLINES YOU SEE IN A DAY.

Two40: I think you need some thicker glasses if you think there are 3 times as many R33's to HSV's. Ohh and I have owned a V8......won't go back in a hurry and I won't be buying some 70's heap that will brake down any spare chance it gets.

My next car will be 6 wheel drive coupled to 2 V8 quad cam/quad turbocharged supercharged air/air/water intercooled fitted to the latest 8 speed straight cut gearbox fitted with 2 LSD ten plated clutch with a .00000001kg flywheel with 30inch fully sik rims and the aerodynamic package of the Williams FW25 with michelin tyres and a supershort wheel base that makes the mini look like a limo! :)

Seriously, I'm going back to basics with the next car. I want to learn control of the car (hint: must have excellent chassis). Not just mash the pedal to the floor.

just my observation. no need to get worked up over it.

tosh, you and me both. as homer would say... hgrrrrrr

silver, i'll have one of those but make mine with a softer clutch. bit of a pain driving it every day.:)

seriously now, are you guys like against newbies comming here and asking questions? Dam sorry if i upsetted you 2fardown, how about you get over yourself.

I'm 18, a young skyline fan that plans on getting one someday. so whats the big deal if I'm askin some "mature", experienced skyline owners some newbie questions?

Staunch,,,,It's all cool buddy,,,you sturred the pot and got a great

reaction.

33's are by far the most common,,,but then again they are the best looking. 32's look dated and 34's only look good in Yellow and Blue. Sorry but Black is just a priick of a colour.

Some might think Skylines are getting more common by the day,,,but the fact remains You can't buy a better performance car for such a small outlay.

don't sweat. you've started a valid and very good topic. some people are bound to get worked up.

good point neil. the value for money was what drew me towards skylines. now if only the insurance would come down by 50%.

i still remember when i got my skyline exactly 3 years ago. they were so rare that when i used to rolled in the city people used to turn around again and again just to see it.

often the reactions "oh my god!!" just came up from no where which made me so proud that i made the right decision buying her.

once and ill never forget on Oxford street i was stuck at a crossing, a group of mid 20's young men just stood there in front the car not letting me go just to appreciate it.

its a shame they are defined as "HOON CARS" these days.

but ill take another or two skylines any day.

R34 GT-R's are still rare, think ive only ever seen 2 on the road, thats after being a skyline enthusiast for about a year or so. Both of them were in the city, 1 in chinatown and 1 on parramatta road. i often see GT-T's tho, but still pretty rare.

    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
    • Did this ever go further ? Would love some updated info
