my car is a good car and has been from the start thank you very much.

So how'd those new knock sensors go with the PFC?

As for doing skids, I'll rip em on the spot to finish a set of tyres of, but I much prefer throwing the car aroundo n the skid pan, sliding here and there.

good lesson to be learnt here. as quoted by one of the local cops down here.

"skids are fine, i dont have a problem with them, as long as your doing it somewhere safe where noone can get hurt (ie dragstrip, middle of nowhere)"

i guess you city boys havnt got as much choice as we do out here, but even still. keep em away from harm and away from harming your dignity :P.

That's a matter of perspective, which is my point.

After all, that's what hardparking Civic drivers say about their rides too.

LOl, get your hardparking on yo!

well i got a non turbo skyline and well i hate it.

i only got it cause 1) it looks nice 2) was affordable and in my price range 3) p plate laws

nothing else with same looks/handling/power was in that price range (except hondas which you will never see me own one)

p.s im going to forced induction soon, cant freaken waittttttttttttttt!

you can still do skids in a non turbo, just not as hecticly smokey as the turbo boys&girls.

    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
    • Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
