hi guys,

thought I better introduce myself. Im Jamie, I have just come into the money to get back into skylines again, I once owned a 85 skyline that I bought of a mate which originally got me into them into the first place, it had the 2.4l (I think.. it was over 10 years ago I had it) and no real major upgrades but was a great car, I moved interstate and ended up selling it for the fact I needed a family car.

Im now after project car im after a 86-89 HR31 coupe gts-r or x. I might have sourced one interstate which looks the goods, I would just need to get it on a truck etc.

I look forward to working it anyways, I plan on doing most of it myself, except painting I want that done professionally. other than that mechanical and cosmetics interior and out will be customised by me.

look forward to the forums :D

Welcome friend.

You do know the kept making Skylines well into the 90's and beyond, yeah?

yea man sure do, just love the 80's period, im also pretty keen on the R34 but I just love the 89. I havent really had a great choice in what car we have owned the past couple of years and now its time for me to get something that doesnt need 6 seats and I can spend time on building.

cheers !

    • Hey all, I'm working on a project car and I believe I made some mistakes. I'm looking to remove the clear coat from my car on most panels (except for panels where the paint has blistered, I will sand this), but wanted to know if these steps are correct?   1) Get a red scuff pad (abrasive one) instead of sand paper to remove the shine from the surface 2) get 400 grit sand paper and go over the entire car with a random orbital sander so the surface is smooth and the primer can grab onto something 3) On the blistered paint, go over it with around 120 grit sand paper, go to 240 to smooth out the scratches, then finish on 400 grit. Anything to add in here or any feedback?
    • Agreed, another vote for the Haltech CAN wideband.  No voltage offset errors is a beautiful thing.
    • Just get a Haltech CAN wideband, no need to wire any delay circuits, or relay, etc. Since I've moved to a Haltech CANbus wideband, I have not replaced a single sensor for over 5 years (if not longer, can't remember when moved to Haltach).
    • Small analogue delay circuit with a relay. Just need a trigger, say, fuel pump running for more than 5s or so? Or, you could go full mental and write a sketch for an Arduino.
