Hi guys,

I'm not sure if this is the right section but I thought I would post up some photos I took at a recent get together.

Skylineowners.com and mkivsupra.net arranged a little drive for the end of March 2009. As usual with any event about half didn't turn up on the day but that still left about 50 Skylines and 10 Supra's to make the drive to Galway, Ireland where we stayed over and had some fun in town.

I hope you like the photos, I'll try add some more later on when I upload them.

Alan.

Nice!

I was in Ireland for 5 weeks and saw one skyline the entire time! Knowing what insurance is like up there its not too suprising... good to see there are some there though!

What part of Ireland did you stay in?

If you had of done some home work (found an Irish forum) we could have arranged a little get together for you.

Its the one thing i hate about being away from home- no car (gay rentals don't count).

Insurance is a pain in the ass here, not only do we get charged stupid amounts of money but it is getting harder to get lately.

example: Im 32, have a full license 12 years, no points or convictions, 7 years no claims bonus and I've passed the advanced motorist exams but when I tried for insurance last year I got refused by 17 insurance companies because of the "type" of car I drive- a R32 GTST

Yeah when i told my cousins i had a gtr and was 23 yrs old (at the time) they were speechless! haha.

I was all over; Dublin, Galway but then predominantly in the west with family.

      Looks like a healthy scene. You've had an R34 before?  What are your plans?

      Hey man Thank you! Excited to be here Mostly 4 doors ER, HRs not much of 2 doors, I personally know 3 guys that have coupes And yeah, they are some BNRs, BCNRs, not that much left, some of them went to EU.   Thanks, actually the conversion was done by previous owner, I wanted to get it even when it was 20DE AT cause the chassis was taken care well but getting it with MT turbo wasdefinitely an additional pleasure 😃

      ER, HR bonnet question

      By RBjay34 · Posted

      Hey guys   I'm pretty sure this question was asked before, I had an HR34 before, got another one again and I never gave much attention to this but wanted to ask you guys about dropping or pushing bonnet problem. ER, HR got pretty heavy steel bonnets, I'm sure S chassis and other R chassis gens also got heavy bonnets. I used to push it after I gently put it down on the latch but I saw some videos guys dropping it from 30-40 cm and some say it's more reliable way to make sure it's safely closed. I let it drop a couple times from like 30-40 cm and it's locked no problem but it gives me that bad OCD feeling after that that something is damaged lol, the bonnet rubbers is there, guess they handle that little fall energy well and the latch itself is what stops the bonnet right?  Talked to other Skyline owners, some say both methods are fine, some against dropping it by any means, some drop all the time no problem. So I'm like confused if I was doing it wrong or not and if I already messed up something. ...and jealous of my friend's Z, dropping aluminum bonnet feels so much right and better haha
