Recommended Posts

Does anyone know the name of the front bumper on my car? I need a new one because the bumper on there know is basically f&*$%. It is cracked badly and I am told will probably crack again if repaired. I really like the look of the bumper but its going to be hard to find another when I don’t know what I’m looking for :) So if anyone knows the name of this bar I would appreciate it!

850 fitted and painted?

The bomex front bar i want for my 32 is going to cost that much alone to get it over here, let alone paint and fitting...

Any1 know of places in AU that deal with bomex kits? UAS has a 'bomex' front bar for 500, though i don't think its original coz its not what bomex have on their site

sorry bout getting off the track, but i can't click on ur name like u can in SDU....

hey steve, just checked out ur site, awesome stuff!!! man i am in the EXACT same position as u were, dreaming of a skyline for the end of the year and just looking at pic after pic, and reading thru these forums, everything u said, exactly the same. I'm on my P's, and i'm 18 so insurance is going to be a bit of a prob.

The thing i want to ask u tho is that i know someone who imports skylines pretty much every year and does them up a bit and then sells them, making a bit of a profit. Now he's offered to help me import one all the way under my name, as he's helping me i don't have to pay him anything, but i haven't talked to any import companies yet, so i was wondering what it was like to dealing with "edge imports"?? I live pretty close to you, sandringham, so i'm a little bit up the bay and just wondering how u found edge?? Helpful?? Just trying to decide whether it is worth getting this guy i know to help me or whether just pay a bit for someone to do it for me....

By the way, if you don't mind me asking, how much did ur skyline end up being?? Auction+getting it out here?? I'm looking to spend around 16 - 16.5k but not sure if i could get a R33 GTS-t for that tho...

Hopefully i'll give ya a bell at the end of the year and we can go for a cruise, haven't seen any skylines around the sandi/hampton/brighton/beaumaris/black rock area. Maybe i should have gone a little further to parkdale to see a couple of

fine examples!! :)

p.s. my email is [email protected] (as to not get off the track of this thread)

Hi SS8_Gohan,

Glad you liked the site :) Both Dent and I went through UPI (Ultimate Performance Imports). They are in Moorabbin and I would recommend you use their services! However, if you do know someone that will help you all the way for free then that is going to be hard to beat. But will this guy comply the car and all that crap for you?

I personally do not know much about cars (I just like to drive them), so when importing a Skyline (which is my first car) I did not really know how to go about it. Lucky for me Dent was also looking at getting a car and he had a lot more experience.

Anyway, we went to UPI and spoke to Dean who then did the rest. Dean is a helpful guy and pretty much took care of the whole thing for me. I just had to sign the odd paper here and there. Well it will be a difficult decision either way but its worth paying to insure that it is all being taken care of I recon.

I had a few problems with my GTS-t on arrival but Dean sorted them all out for me ... cost me a few more $$$ but she runs well now ;) I got the car for $12500 in Japan and it cost me another $7500 to get it to Australia, complied and on the road. Sadly, I needed a new clutch, suspension and there are quite a few scratches that still need to be fixed. But all is well because I scored a sun roof, nice rims, good rubber, big exhaust, great body kit, monster tacho, and nicely tinted windows :) All up I was happy with the car!

    • I have a radium fuel rail on my Greddy manifold and used the supplied radium fuel injector to manifold adapters (The round green things pictured). I did always wonder if you could just go ahead and use the second lower hole like you're doing... Wouldn't thicker o-rings solve your issue?    
    • From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"
    • Hi all,  I have a older model of the Greddy Front facing intake on an RB25DET NEO Head. I've bought aeroflows fuel rail and injector kit (1000cc Bosche injectors) and I'm unsure if the fitment is correct. The injector o-rings fit in the intake hole but it's not snug. I can very easily rotate the injectors even when the fuel rail is mounted. The kit also came with multiple adaptors, they dont make it any more snug and using them raises the injectors up and i cant mount the fuel rail. I hope this makes sense I've asses a few photos.    Thanks so much guys. 
    • So, to run the 4g aerials to the booster, I had to get access to the rear bulkhead....bit of a mission. Hot tip, don't offer to help change the rear shocks for a mate with a v37.... Remove seat base, 2 clips that slide forward to release it the it lifts straight out Fold down rear seat (pull in from boot) The side bolster of the rear seat is not connected to the middle parts that fold. To remove unbolt at the bottom bolt then push it up off the top hook Then there is a plastic surround behind the seat back, 2 pop out clips, 2 bastard clips, some swearing at it is out Pop the rear seat latch surround off Remove door surround lower trim then side trim  Remove c pillar trim - 4 clips, pull inwards not forwards Remove metal brace - 5 bolts 1 nut Then you have got to the rear strut top...what a pain!
