oh snap haha, thanks for the information mate, Ive been reading about Karratha trying to find out more about the place, but that's probably the best description ive heard yet. Kinda killed my dreams of tearing up 200m of sticky tar, but im sure there must be a plase to go to burn rubber? Pm me, we should organise something some time :):O

And would there be a drag strip, or race track arround there?

i only work up here as im FIFO from Perth and im only here in Port Hedland for another month or two, afte that who knows where i end up, as far as a race track i highly doubt it, there would have to be an illegal drag strip the locals use as there is plennty of straight roads out here to go play on late at night :rofl2:

once you get there my Skyline should be ready to sell, ill pay you a spotters fee for selling my car!!

Well two skylines are ALWAYS, better than one! How much do you want? What sort of mods are done ect.

Im up there 4 weeks at a time Work at Cape Lambert. Yet to decide on what car to bring up, or i may buy one locally.

Not that i have been up there yet but if i was to choose between your 2 cars, i would choose the Passage. GTS too good to take i reckon.

I've been up here two years (fifo) and wouldn't advise about bringing a skyline up here... you'll have to run bp-98 for a start.

Not to mention the red dirt/constant heat will kill the paint. There are also no decent roads up here so expect paint chips/dents/etc.

Simple response is buy a 4wd for up here, leave the skyline at home.

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????

      Looking for autoelectrician in Perth who can do the OEM to double din stereo upgrade.

      Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
