Hey everyone,

I live in Geraldton and got my V35 last year in Oct the 16th (wow what a day).

I want to find more people in Gero that have Skylines so i'm staring this tread.

I know there's plenty of you Skyline owners in Geraldton, i've seen heaps.

So post your pics of your Pride and Joy and some info about yourself

My V35

It's a "70TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL EDITION PREMIUM MODEL WITH FULL LEATHER, 6 x AIRBAG OPTION AND FACTORY TV". I imported myself with the help of "Prestige Motorsport" in Perth. I got it at the prefect time with the Yen at 106 to one Aussi dollar and one month later it all die in the ass. So i was lucky. Got the everything converted (TV, Sat Nav and DVD) in Perth by Brian Wallis "Autotainment" 289 Great Eastern Highway, Burswood WA 6100 DVD / TV conversion etc. for the V35 in Perth 9470 4233. I payed $2,400, and i think that was a bargin :banana: . And compliance was done buy the boys at Autoworx.

I have only seen one other V35 in Greo a 4 door, it's looking a bit sad with the bumper falling off and door trim hanging down, pretty sure it's been in Gero for a few years now (seen it around well before i got mine). I've had a mate (R32 owner Mitch) say he seen one same as mine thinking it was me wave at it then relise it's not the same (different rims).

I get my car serviced at "CAR" Cam's Auto Repairs.

Well thats my story.

Used to live there, but I had a Torana [253 LX].

I remember the bloke from tyrepower had a skyline, but every time he drove it he would get a yellow sticker. So he has a SX now.

Yeah i seen him around, his SX looks really nice, and i remember his skyline (white one) i think it was a R33 maybe R32 with a nice kit. but it was a few years ago

    • Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.
    • DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
    • As per title.. has anyone used so far? Keen to hear results, comparisons. In the market for a new mani for my new turbo. Any issues cracking?
    • Re read everything that has been written about this in this thread.. Let us know if you're still confused.
    • This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
