Everything is electronic... tell me what other aussie V8 cars have at that time corrosponding to when skylines came out.

2pot Brakes or even big size brake disks

Electronic aircon

Electric mirrors and windows

after market upgrades....etc..etc.

I can go on and on

And what does your wife think about having to share your love with a hunk of metal? :)

She's just glad it's a car, and not some other late-model Japanese...

LOL @ Rezz....

What is Irashaimase!?

is it like random shouting? like...

Daidokoro...!!!!

Irashaimase is what shop/restaurant owners say when you enter their shop/restaurant.

Daidokoro (kitchen) is definately a random thing to shout out... you done that before have you Pva?:)

My budget had a ceiling of $20k. I started looking at mid late 90's celica... Nice looking, toyota reliable, probably handle nice. Then also at Honda Prelude mid 90's again nice looker, Honda superb build qual and reliability. But they were not enough - stock 1/4 mile not very fast.

Enter the skyline. Obsession. Mmm 187kw standard 0-100 6.21 1/4 14.4 poss wow all this and a beautiful looking car, with loads of Jap gizmos and legendary Nissan reliability (had a VL be4 50% jap of course) I was sold.

People keep saying how nice it looks. I take it for a fang up MT Glorious close the redline oh it goes nice. Makes driving an experience not a chore like it used to b.

Cant wait to get my twin dump, full 3 inch and hiflo cat shortly.

The build quality is superb i mean its 8 years old but it dont look like it someone who knows nothing bout skylines would say it looks like an exotic $60k+. Lol all for $20k. No regrets. Big fan.

I am korean, there are long history between Japanes and Koreans...especially more elderly persons.

I would like to discuss it why that is...

I've forgiven Japs long ago... but if I ask my grand parents. they dont encourrage it.

I dont know if you get the histoty Rezz.

at first i liked it cause it just looked good ... then came the chicks ... they loved it ... they were like .. oh u drive a skyline?? sweeet :) ... for some reason a skyline just makes u look that much better :) ... u can be ugly as but as soon as u get seen in one ... you're almost brad pitt :) ... and then its the power and moddability ... u get respect on the road ... u guys ever drive in a small shit car lately?? notice how everyone cuts u off the road ... well they dont' do that to u when u drive your skyline LOL ;)

Would have to be the heritage for me. I've only been into cars for a few years but i used to think that skylines were those big boxy skyline gxe's and crap like that, r30 and 31 series. Then i started to do a bit of research and found out how the car demolished the group A series, won every race in japan and bathurst too. Was then that i realised this is a machine not to be taken lightly. It has since made its way into my list of favourite cars :), the original godzilla anyway

Da tail lights are sexyyyyyyy as!!!

Its fast, it looks the part and damn... just such a nice car. With an Rx7 and a Supra... the 3 best cars in the world have been made.

Which one tops it... duno, but i love Skylines...

    • Update for the sake of closure   Ended up getting the intercooler piping all sorted, new plugs and yellow jacket coils, and she was idling mint until it warmed up while I was bleeding the cooling system. Found the misfire to be localised to cyl 3 by unplugging coilpacks, ran a compression test, that checked out, then decided to get a mate to check if that spark plug was firing out of the motor. Upon cranking it over, with the injectors disconnected, the car actually fired and ran on a couple cylinders and heaps of fuel came out the top of cyl 3 I'd say that injector's either spraying incorrectly or spraying far too much, which is fine as I'm planning on replacing them anyway I'm planning on making about 250kW on flex fuel, and have a set of 1000cc injectors from ozautosport, obviously overkill but I'm planning on building the motor and running more boost further down the line, do you reckon they'd be too big for a smooth idle on 98? Thanks for the replies gents, much appreciated
    • I'm confused. You said you want to "remove the clear coat from most panels" but it sounds like you are actually doing a full respray? Few random things to add -  If you chase the blistered paint with 120 grit, I can almost guarantee you'll chase it down to bare metal (that's fine). But if you paint the car from here, you'll have nice little indents where ever the blistered paint was. The new paint won't magically level out the low areas, you need to fill them. Which leads me to the main point I wanted to add, make sure the whole car is flat before you paint it. All those areas with blistered paint you sanded out, make sure to fill them and triple check they are flat with a block guide coat. I'd also check the whole car is flat with a large block and guide coat but yeah up to you if you want to go that far.   
    • 300hp (225kw) is barely outside the standard turbo's range with a bit of extra boost in it (200ish). If you are going to change the turbo you should aim for 250-300kw (330-400hp) to make the expense worthwhile
    • A couple of things, firstly omg that turbo is expensive! $3,000 USD for dinosaur technology is robbery. You could buy a G series turbo and have a good amount of change instead.  If you want a good budget option, have a look here - https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/ If you are keen to spend more, have look at the modern turbos, Garrett G series, Borgwarner EFR, etc. Have a look at the RB25 dyno results thread for inspiration.  If you upgrade your turbo to something that will support the 300hp you want and only "probably" have Haltech ECU, your car will only "probably" run. Actually, no it won't run. You are going to need the ECU and injectors at the time you do the turbo upgrade.  No thoughts on "this much boost" as you didn't say how much boost that actually is. Having said that, plenty of unopened RB25's making even more power then what you are chasing.
