G'day,

I'm not new to the forum, been a member for over 12 months, but not really active.

I thought it was about time that I said G'day.

I am the proud owner of an R32 GTR 1994, had it about 12 months and haven't done too much as yet.

The forum has been a real source of info on all things Skyline, and extremely interesting.

I live on the NSW Central Coast, please don't hold that against me, it truly is God's country.

I've had a few cars over my years (being an older member) WRX, Integra Type S, Golf GTI *2 and can honestly say that I've been blown away (pardon the pun) by the Skyline.

Cheers,

Steve

Hey there,

Good to hear you like the skyline the best, So you went from a golf GTI to a GTR?

Why sell the WRX to get a GTI?

Sorry,

Not in the said order.

I had a Mk 1 GTI in 1982 and a 5 door Mk 2 in 1986.

I had my WRX in 1999 (MY2000) . ( I had a family in between, and a series of more appropriate cars)

Having said that the Mk1 GTI was more fun than the WRX. Although the WRX was quicker, the GTI was a more responsive car, no turbo to deal with, and with only 112 bhp!!

The Skyline is in a different class, I should be comparing it with Porsche or Ferrari, just never been able to afford that type of car.

I (my wife) has an Integra Type S, that's a bit of fun on country roads. She just loves to rev, the car that is!!

Cheers,

      Thanks for your insight, it being basically useless will impact my decision for sure. I thought it may help the engine breath better I guess. But then again, I have also been told that tuning an RB20DE is also not worth it. Exactly, we follow EU Regulations. There is a bit more leeway on older vehicles. My Porsche 924 came without a cat from factory and managed to pass, they still mentioned that I have quite high emissions on it though.

      City of Casey - This is obscene!

      My apologies, I stand corrected. Thanks for registering to mention this! And thank you for actually reaching out to the council to clarify. This is the sensible thing to do and the opposite of what I was alluding you were doing. I may have seen too much outrage and hate being fueled on the internet and it has made me a somewhat cynical old man. Sometimes it is easy to forget that there are real people behind websites and accounts. In my defence, CarExpert and CarExplore do read quite similarly at a glance. I shall try and do better in the future. (Please stick around to get the latest scoops on dealing with old Nissan shitboxes )

      Don't bother. The poor little RB20 doesn't make enough gas flow to challenge the flow capabilities of even the littlest cat, and you won't make any extra power, and all you'll do it soot up your rear bumper. Plus....is Malta not runing under Euro regs?

      Smoothline aka Matthew stone

      By Duncan · Posted

      Hey Daniel, sorry to hear that and thanks for posting up for us at a really hard time I only knew SmoothLine through the forums, we never met as we are based in different states, but when he was most active on here he was quite a while back so not many of the current crowd might remember him. I am pretty sure he was active in the Queensland SQU club but that is defunct now too (times are changing and we are all getting older). Farewell SmoothLine!

      R34 manual conversion wiring

      Turns out depending on whether the car was equipped with TCS or not there are different signals coming to the dash, meaning there are different speedo clusters.  Wired in a speedo calibrator box from aliexpress and now works fine.
