Hey guys and girls,

Picked up my first Skyline last week (R34 GTT) and loving it.

So far it has a 3inch turbo back exhaust

Cooling Pro FMIC

GReddy boost controller

Apexi Power FC

Top Secret bodykit

ROH 18" mags

And some aftermarket gauges which I haven't hooked up yet. The rest is standard and the first things I will be doing is upgrading the suspension and braking. Once that is sorted out I will be chasing more power (needs more power!!!)

Just for some history my previous cars where:

Mitsubishi Triton GLX-R 2011

Ford XR5 Turbo 2010

Ford BA XR6 Turbo

Holden VU ute (v6)

Daewoo Nubira

Ford XC ute

Hyundai excel

I also ride bikes. I currently ride a 2010 TM EN300 2-stroke.

Cheers,

Tonksy

Yeah mate moved on from the Falcooooons.... And I'm glad I did. Skylines have a more sophisticated feel about them, they ride much better the our aussie made cars. The German made XR5 was great fun tho! Can't wait to get some more power out of the Skyline tho!!

    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
    • Probably a smart choice to buy one vs build, purely for the motivation part as you said! Imagine the metal dust everywhere from grinding all the steel to build one. Ha ha ha!   Also, post a photo of your garage.   Mine is below, this is where I've been cleaning and have already half filled a caged 6*4 trailer. And this is after my cleaning expedition mentioned previously... The middle normally has a car in it, but I'm dumping things in the middle as I sort through them. And poor skyline was dusty and has had the lightest few drops of rain and now it looks atrocious and needs to be dragged back out and washed thoroughly! And yes to the right is technically another bay, you really can only see 2 bays out of 3 in this picture.  
    • It's more like on average the things I see a lot of things going wrong. Yes, usually the people who reach out are the ones who are having problems but on average it feels like mechanics and tuners here aren't really competent. I swing between thinking my standards are just way too high and wondering whether people really are just this dumb. I just had the strangest 10+ reply argument on a Facebook group over someone insisting that the factory R34 GTT boost control solenoid reduces boost pressure to 5 psi when it's on and raises boost pressure to 7 psi when it's off despite showing the exact plumbing in the factory service manual and the solenoid behavior detailed in the FSM.
    • I steam cleaned my near new set of volk gtc wheels 14 years ago and farrkkked them lol. The clear coat cracked like spider webbing in several areas. Lesson learnt don't do that. 😭
