wow two pages ago i saw a young skyline enthusiast get smacked for her posts not being consistent and her know all approach since joining.

You say it like its a bad thing.

For sake of keyboard warriors and argument over who's right etc etc that member will probably lose interest in the forum and run off to some other place witha set attitude that the members of SAU are dickheads

I'd say that was a better reputation to get than the reputation of places like boostcruising, ns.com, etc where people say that you've got no f**king idea of what you're on about.

Then you just become the butt of every other automotive enthusiasts' joke. At least here they'll be saying, "They're pretty harsh on stupidity, but its where you go if you want the right answer".

Did you guys forget she's young? God i said some stupid shit in and out of dreaming about my ride in my younger days...

So did I.

But when more knowledgable and experienced people corrected me I didn't sit there arguing with them about it without any kind of evidence to their contrary, or at least some logical hypothesises based on scientific/engineering fundamentals.

While Miss R34 is out there representing the ladies and the skyline scene alike, polishing her pride n joy the very fact that she wants some respect for the N/A skyline was enough to overshadow her accomplishments

What accomplishments has she got that are worthy of respect? Respect freely given is worthless. It should be earned to carry any weight.

We are all part of the Skyline family, I mean..which parents treat there babies like crap? :banana:

Good parents should correct their children if they've got false pretences, and give them a good smack if gentle encouragement of the truth doesn't seem to be working.

Hey :)

I just bought a R33 GTS... and i am absolutely in love with it :D

But like ive herd off a couple of friends "Why even buy a skyline if its not turbo" not to my face of course.. :down:

Like they are commonwhore owners.. like vn's.. is it coz i dont fit in.. f**K! im sorry i dont have sagging doors like you guys. geesh.. ... im sorry my rb sounds decent.. i could go on and on..

But yeah i just had to be different and not get a holden liek everyone else.. hell i could have bought like 5 of them.. But ive love'd the shape of r33's for like 5 years now.. Best damn p-plater car ive seen. Like you holdens arnt v8's? or charged... so ha

So yeah, just me blowing steam... coz people cant say what they think to my face... :P Sour grapes i say..lol

You guys have common experiences? Show me some skyline love :)

Nick. :D

Insurance is the biggest killer for me I refuse to pay the massive premiums for having a turboed car, i know the quotes on potential V35

are high enough I'd hate to see what they'd be if they came in turbos

still doesn't compare to a 300zx twin turbo. It takes half an hour to put your hand in the engine bay then another half an hour to put tool in the hand then another hour to take 1 bolt of the 4 bolts off ........ yeah sucks

hahahah iv never seen a 300zx being worked on but it cant be that bad!

anyway back to the topic since I'm on my P's NA is all im driving and to all commodore fans there decent cars but don't compare when it comes to skyline (looks and power (in some cases) i prefer a tuner over a Holden not saying they are bad in fact my brother owns three Holdens (VN 5.0L V8 Manual, VY S-Pack, VQ Statesman Series II) there great cars but there to common and don't look as good as the skyline.

you've obviously never seen the engine bay of a z32 then, LOL.

so he may have exagerated a bit on the time thing. if you have one of those magnetic tool things they it is only about 20 mins to get the tool into your hand. but without it, if you drop a tool, don't expect to see it again. you will just be driving along, hear a bit of a ting and know that your tool just fell out and will have bounced off the road and into the grass on the side of the road.

You'd better have the hands of a small child and the finger grip of a chronic masturbator if you don't want to lift the engine out to do even the most minor things.

and have a rope tied to ANY tool you even place near the engine bay, and magnetise any screwdriver or socket you use with the strongest magnet you can find to minimise the loss of nuts and bolts.

abd as well as small yet strong hands, don't forget being quadrouple jointed. basically the ability to be able to lay your fingers flat on the back of your hand, LOL

Yep, as much as I love the Z32's and I almost bought one years ago. The only thing that put me off was the engine bay. I took one good look, imagined how ( if ) I would be able to do simple basic work ie plugs, belts ,filters etc....and thought No way...impossible... god knows how you would go about changing sparkplugs, Pull the inlet manifolds off maybe ?

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.

      When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
