1 - 1988 R31 Skyline - hand me down, first car, you know how it is ;-)

2 - 1988 R31 Skyline - 1 owner grandpa car, ended up painted, turbo'd, R34 brakes, coilovers, work wheels etc

3 - 1988 R31 Skyline - death trap - forged RB30ET with GT35/40 and manualised auto w/3k stall. did a 12.6 and but nearly killed me one night as the stock brakes were so bad I went straight through a red light intersection trying to pull it up.

4 - 1994 Lexus LS400 - VIP'd with coilovers, deep dish Leon Hardiritt's and Jap exhausts

5 - 2001 Stagea RS4-s - Good mods, good suspension, good wheels, great car - BAD fuel bills.

6 - 2001 BMW 525 Msport - awesome car, looked great, rode nice - but no power and stressful to own wondering what was going to break next!

7 - 2008 Mazda MPS - 200kw atw and over 400nm of torque through the front wheels. Little rocket ship that surprsises everyone. But close range 6 speed is a nightmare in traffic - currently for sale.

8 - 2006 V35 Coupe......that's the plan!

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
