Hey guys my name is Jess, im 21 and from adelaide. Some of you may know me from NS, but i dont remember the last time i posted on there lol. Just mainly joined to look for parts and ive got alot of friends on here. I dont own a skyline but im half way there, i have a rb20 sil80 as a daily, and a rb25/30 s13 drift car. Ive had it since i was 15 but its only been in the past 5-6 months its been built into a track car, ive gone halfs in building it with a good friend of mine which has been awesome fun so far. Still in early days of its build because of some huge setbacks, but its coming along really well and i cant wait to slide it. 2010 it'll be head down bum up to get it running. My sil80 is currently on double defect which is pretty disapointing, but the plus side is now ive now got a fully engineered rb20 and wide guards, i can see the light at the end of the tunnel now at least lol. I work on my own cars which has been a massive learning curve, but im loving it. I recently learnt how to fibreglass broken guards, and prep and paint, i did the wide guards on my sil80 and was so stoaked with it, ive taken the step to do all the body work on the s13. Im learning more mechanical work everyday aswell. I really enjoy being able to work on my own cars, its a great sence of achievement.

Little bit about me, im a beauty therapist and a makeup artist and live up in the hills. Work really bloody hard to pay for both my cars but id never have it any other way. Grown up with cars, my dad always had rotors, but it was my unkle that got me hooked on racing, i went in my first race car when i was about 10, and i remember going so fast around corners i was loosing my breath, ive never forgotten that feeling and ever since then always wanted to do it. So now i am.

Thats about it... heres a couple of pics of both my cars.. sorry my s13 isnt much too look at at the moment lol.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Duncan · Posted

      There's no way they left the factory like that. In R chassis there is nothing stopping the steering wheel being put on one spline out from straight, and then adjusting the steering arms to "correct" it (sort of). As well as the indicator cancelling there would also be an issue with how tight you can turn in one direction to the other. The other (less likely) possibility is that the "clock spring" (the circular electronic part that allows the wheel to turn while still having an electrical connection for horn and any other buttons like cruise) might not be in place correctly. I don't have any pics of the R33 (or Stagea) setup but there would be a circular locating tab which sits in the steering column to have it straight...if that is not seated properly then the indicators may not cancel at the right point (and, you might also get a HICAS error since it would think you are driving in circles)

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Duncan · Posted

      It will mostly be bad scoring on the bores, which you can almost certainly fix by machining for oversize pistons. I have to say, I am super surprised that any standard turbos made it 35 years down the track before exploding!

      Seat belts unable to find any

      What's the difference? I would have said that between the front and rear axle lines, there's no noticeable diff between a GTR and an NA 2-door.

      It will be salvageable. It really doesn't matter what is damaged. Opening up a 30+ year old motor for a rebuild immediately means a complete rebuild of the head anyway. Damaged valves just means an opportunity to put in some nice new ones. And in the modern day, why would you not throw at least a nice set of pistons at something. And if you're doing that, why not rods, and ARP fasteners, and so on.
