This car is in great condition and I have been exceptionally happy with it. I use it to drive to and from work, a 52km round trip, along King Georges rd daily so the odometer is a little high.

It has an aftermarket intercooler, front strut bar, boost gauge, HKS BOV and 18" wheels, 225/40ZR18 on the front, 265/35ZR18 on the rear, fitted by the previous owner and he did an excellent job doing it.

Since owning it i have added a Kenwood headunit (KDC-BT7539U) that has bluetooth built in and has a usb connection that is compatible with all iPods including the newest iPhone. The headunit runs a Clarion 4 channel amp (APX4241), currently running in bridged mode, powering Alpine splits (SPS-600C) in the front doors. On the rear parcel shelf are Sony explod 6x9's that i did not install (previous owner, not a great choice) that are just running off the headunit as they dont need, or deserve, to be amped.

I have also had installed a Mongoose MX40 alarm with kill switch hidden for starting hooked into the fuel pump relay so will start for 4 or so seconds before dying if the switch is not used. In addition to the alarm i have installed a window wind up kit that will close the windows as soon as the car is locked with the remote.

Mechanically i have replaced the coil packs, coil pack loom, spark plugs and AFM, as i was chasing a missfire that would happen randomly at idle making takeoff hard. It ended up being the coilpack loom. The front tyres were replaced in May 2009 so still have heaps of rubber on them. It has new brake pads and discs in the rear and new pads in the front as the discs could be machined, replaced this month (June). I have added a boost controller to run the car at 10psi boost and the ECU has had no problems at this setting, it runs great.

the car averages 400km to a tank but will go well over that on a trip up or down the coast, the best i have seen is 650km after a massive drive down the coast.

As a side note if you know skylines you will know that the drivers side power window can be very temperamental, so i have replaced the motor ($700 from Japan!) and relay box in the door so there are now no more problems with it.

Forgot to add it has a 3" turbo back exhaust fitted

The engine is serviced by me every 5,000km with motul engine oil and filter from just jap automotive and at the 200,000 mark i changed the diff oil, gearbox oil, and power steering and brake fluid, and had the timing belt and water pump replaced.

    • 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
    • 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..
    • 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????
