Hey Doobs,

Do you own the slick black R33 GTST? Yeah I own the gunmetal grey R32 GTR V-spec with the proper (poxy) BBS alloys. Sorry I haven't replied direct to your message but I haven't got up 10 posts yet... also I'm a bit computer illiterate! Hope to see you at the track on the 17th.

Cheers, Ben

370z!!!!!!! Omg if you see me quietly fapping over your car please excuse me....... i can't wait to see one of these on the track!

Glad you're on board Mark and come say hi!!!! Well i might actually come say hi to you, and perhaps hop in for a passenger session :(

don't put the handbrake on when you park it after a session :blush: don't want cooked brake fluid.

Having the handbrake on after a session on the track won't be the thing that boils your brake fluid. It may very well fuse your handbrakes to your rotor and/or warp said rotor though :blush:

Best option is to put a choc under a wheel, that way you can't hurt anything that has warmed up...

Yep, and when choosing a choc, those huge Toblerones are the correct size and shape!

Best option by far is what Dan just said.....

Just bring along a couple bits of small timber with you and lay they down in your car spot, 1 at the back to roll up against and 1 at the front to roll over and keep you in position. This way you can leave the car in neutral, no brakes at all and let it cool down/leave running for 5 minutes after a session.

Also a big tip, on the cool down lap (in lap), don't go slow!!! 1 reason is it slows up the next session getting out BUT most importantly you need to maintain a safe speed to feed cool air into the engine bay, brakes ect etc to cool it down. So don't back right off! Helps reduce heat soak :blush:

Old sports socks over all reservoirs is also a bonza trick!! Just make sure it is secured by a cable tie or very tightly wrapped around it!!

Yeah that's the one. I might come down to watch as the car isn't quite reassembled for track work yet.

The garages at Wakey are pretty flat anyway, I find my car sits pretty sweet without leaving it in gear or with the handbrake up. Chocs can't hurt for an extra bit of insurance though :blush:

    • Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.
    • If the RB20 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.
    • Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.
    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • 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
