hey guys,

im moving to newcastle tomorrow and the daily will cost me less money and be more comfortable to drive, may be selling it after wakie in march >.<!

ANYWAYS, just wondering what i should do to the skyline? i heard you need to put additives in the fuel tank?

i asked dad to take it for a drive every week but i know he wont haha.

from virgin white. to ruxis do not add any additives to your fuel tank, eg, octane boost or injector as these additives cause a pink colour around the cars spark plugs thus ,it will ruin your spark plugs as all skyline cars use platinium plugs @ around $22.00 per plug so unless you have plenty of money to replace the plugs do not use any additives to your cars fuel tank and likewise do not use additives to the cars engine oil, use only the best fuel available 98 ron. change your engine oil and oil filter every 5000 ks hope to see you and your car at the robertson pie shop cruise on 11/03/12 regards laurie.

Hey Laurie,the expensive plugs are ok on an unmodded liner,but once you get the mod bug there no good.High boost you need to be useing cheap coppers bcpr7es is what i use.There would'nt be many stock skylines around here these days. Genelle. :cheers:

My skyline has just an exhaust ATM, usually got a pod and boost controller on butttttt my daily sold SOOOO SKYLINE IS MY DAILY! until wakie in march then may sell.

Plus I do run platinum plugs :) bout 5,000 kms ago. (screw pulling the throttle body and intake apart every service!!!)

That's some good advice virgin white. I'll defineatley keep that in mind, although I won't be parking it as planed :)

you have a GTT intake, it takes all of 20 mins.. suck it up princess!

My manifold takes close to an hour to do plugs because of throttle cable and solenoids getting in the way..

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
