-F**ked Air Con (Got quoted >$1k to repair)

-Slight vibrations at idle when stopped at the traffic lights from time to time

-Lifter noise (tap tap tap...)

-Exhaust smells

-Head light cover have that yellow crap.

  • Very subtle rattle when idling
  • Squeeky clutch (on the way in and out)
  • It was doing that boost stall thing but that seems to be cleared up
  • A few pin dents that are turning into rust spots
  • Exhaust is too loud for my tastes
  • It's not a GTR :D

Exhaust smells lol i like that one. Smells good or bad, or just smells?

problem with my skyline is it only has 6 cyliners, not 12 and a prancing horse badge.

We will supaglue another RB to your current one and stick a prancing horse badge on your bonnet - all fixed :D

    • The boot notch on the GK Tech rods is different to OEM yes. You'll find a solution. They are a good rod, I have used many of them for various setups, and no they are not ' just for drift cars', they are fine as an OEM replacement. Same goes for the tie rod ends although I found they transmitted a huge amount of NVH a normal balljoint masks, making it feel like there was something loose or knocking, even though there wasn't. If you used the same pieces on each side, no reason one angle should be different to the other side. Have you checked ride heights/measured the angles? Or just visual? Your alignment will be massively out of whack yes. Up to you; it is worth taking the time to learn wheel alignments and do it yourself. I have never had better wheel alignments and I haven't taken my car to a shop for, dunno...many many years. Spend a few hundred on equipment, do alot of research via online articles, youtube vids, and "trial and error" on setups. Eg, set it with too much toe-out, toe-in, too much or little caster, drive the same stretch of awesome twisty mountain road each time, learn how they feel and how the car's handling has reacted to your changes.
    • Won’t be hard to beat them. 🤣 Farken sponge cakes!
    • Nah I did not will have to another time. I only installed a blitz return flow FMIC probably 1000kms ago. When I took the old piping off there was basically no oil in piping. At this stage it has to be valve stem seals. When I roll down a big hill in gear and then throttle down the bottom, I get the same puff of smoke.
    • I believe when they added coolant to cool the turbo it negated the need for turbo timers as water continues to flow even when the engine is shut off I forget the actual terminology, I'll just say the coolant "percolates" through the turbo which stops the oil cooking itself to death  Well....that's how I see it, as all the plant at work that has coolant lines to the turbo can be shut down straight away, whereas the older plant with only oil feed to the turbo you need to idle it for a few minutes
