Just wanting to know how many Ballarat skyline owners are on the forums. I spot quite a few skylines during my day and have never met the owners of the majority. Post a pic of your car and whatever else you feel like sharing.

Do any of the SAUVIC members often visit Ballarat for a cruise up the Highway? Who have you spotted?

Yeah i work with Cass at IBM some of the time :(

We've got 3 Skylines there as far as i know.. and one 180.

ghettoracer: i think i saw you the other day.

We should try and arrange for a meet, check out the cars and swap some stories about mechanics! (i know my mechanic reads this forum, so his labor costs might come down strangely..)

used to always go past the IBM centre when i used to visit my grandparents in Grenvale

if thats the one? you turn off before you actual get into Ballarat when your coming from Melb?

- Yeah thats the one. On the Corner. I'm also at the mine... Ballarat Goldfields a lot.

I'm on the way to Ballarat from Melbourne, Melton. Who is your mechanic in Ballarat?

- I go to Peter from Performance and Race tech in Delacombe. lots of experience building up cars. he usually has about 5 or 6 skylines in the garage at any one time :down: lol

LOL!

What's taking Cass so long to get to this thread?

I use to live in Ballarat too.

Because Cas regularly gets busted on SAU at said work, and my bosses don't like it :)

HI ROB

You arent at work much anymore.

This upsets me.

    • This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone
    • Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.
    • I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.
    • I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?
    • I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
