My R33 GTS-t landed with 57,000km in 2001 it now has 214,000km running 220rwkw for most of its life, now with 280rwkw (12mths) still runs fine, compression is fine it feels like it will do another 100,000km with no worries assuming no catastrophic failures of ancillary parts like fuel pump etc.

Mine has 94,000 almost, imported it with 84k 2.5 years ago, it's seen 6 months of roadwork and a fair whack of time being off road (Most recent 14 months, got it back last Thurs). Purring like a kitten after kidafa helped out with a service on the weekend :thumbsup:

My 99 RS4-S just rolled over to 200,000 last week. bought the car with 130,xxx on the clock a year ago. 95% highway driving, serviced every 10,000k's (oil / oil filter / k&n air filter clean & re-oil).

I use motul 8100 xcess 5w-40. engine is so sweet, no top end noise or bottom end noise. turbo is still smooth, and have been running 14psi using jaycar ebc for the last 30,000k's.

Going to do the timing belt and all driveline fluids next.

This car is my first experience with an RB motor and I love it.

Hey Jeremy, that is the best so far. I think a well maintained 25T can go 300.

I'm not too far behind that, 197xxxkms on my series 1. Still going strong. Just some rattles inside the car but thats probably got a lot to do with the suspension :( But driveline is great. Original turbo too. Runs 11psi. Will be stripping interior and doing a full dynamat through the whole car which should make interior noise a lot better.

      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

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      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.
