Hey all,

Been lurking for a bit now and have picked up lots of great info from this site already. Lots of clever people on here thats for sure.

My GF and I have a skyline in the back yard but thats only a small part of the story. Our R31 is here as a heart transplant for a 66 cedric wagon. We intend to do the good old rb25/30 engine build then shoe horn that into the cedric. For the uninitiated I'll post a pic of a cedric wagon so you can visualize what I'm talking about.

Well I'll leave it at that for the moment you'll be hearing lots more from me as this project gradually gets moveing.

I will once I get a start on it. At the moment its about 3rd in line in terms of projects but since the car is my GF's no doubt it'll get pushed to the head of the line.

I'll start a thread on the build in the classics section so I can start to get some ideas flowing with some of you guys.

PS that pic of the cedric is from an old nissan/datsun promo but it is the color we're painting ours. Here's the one we have in the shed:

However it seems to be complete and came with a running 2L six and 3 speed manual.......... (I'm thinking turbo FED with the left over bits.... hehehe)

Anyway I'll jump over to the classic section and start rambling there.

      Use text replace function to auto-link to referred threads?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Hi, We've all posted some thread, or know of some other person's thread, that contains information that we want to send people who are asking question to. But if we don't have a link readily available, have to go do a search for the thread before being able to do so. So, it occurred to me that we could possibly utilise the auto-text-replace function that fixes some of my swear words to perhaps auto replace some special keywords with text that also has a link to the thread. A specific example. The thread that I did with the improved R32 GTR wiring diagram scans. If the phrase "R32 GTR wiring diagram" could be auto replaced with "R32 GTR wiring diagram" then all I (or @Duncan, or any of the others that refer to the thread) need to do is remember that that's the keyword (or phrase in this case). OK, it would be better if this keyphrase wasn't that long, but it does need to be specific enough that it doesn't get triggered automatically. And obviously there are threads on turbo topics, or suspension topics that we could treat similarly. Alternatively (and/or additionally), I've been thinking about trying to build a library of the real expert content that is trapped in the bowels of the 25odd years of this site. Things like some of SydneyKid's content. There are threads that he started that should be more easily found, and he has individual posts, or series of posts, in other people's threads, containing very good information. Some of us know that it is there, but....just have no memory of exactly where/when/how we saw it. If we had some sort of library thread, we could put posts in there containing links to things we've found, suggestions for how to categorise it, then a mod or other appointed thread maintainer can copy the link and any key text up into the first post in the library thread. There are probably many other ways to get it done. Some sort of wiki is probably the best way.   Thoughts?

      My thermostat had no gasket?

      By Duncan · Posted

      But, probably that happened to the last person too, which is why the RTV was there.....if you aren't putting a new gasket in you will need to seal the old gasket back to the metal surface with something, the gaskets will generally only work properly for a single use as they set/harden in that shape

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      By Duncan · Posted

      What is with the horrible blue and white bit in the centre of the wheels, didn't that come off with some scrubbing?

      Not sure how broadly you define Northside  but Castle Hill Exhaust are still around and could sort it.

      Wiring high beams in IC7 for R32 GTR

      By Duncan · Posted

      I haven't done this as I still use the factory cluster, but I do know the circuits for the flash vs on for hi beam are separate which is likely the issue. The ON runs full power through the switch and the flash uses the relay in the engine bay. I'd hit the wiring diagram per GTSBoy's suggestion
