Thanks DaiOni.Good post.Do you have any japanese links?

Evo_lee,SKY031 I know it is not any problems finding forums and sites from the net,but I am after information from Japan about tuning and styling.About any support for these kind of cars like with the ae86 and S13 which still is supported in Japan.

Thanks

CM...

Tuning support and parts for:

Toyota: Mr2, Celica, Supra - vastly available, though the Celica isn't very popular.

Nissan: Bluebird Sr turbo, Silvia, 300zx - vastly available.

Mazda: Cosmo, 323 gti - speciality shops...still OK.

Honda: Prelude, Civic 1.6 Vtec (Sir) - vastly available, but the prelude isn't very popular.

links for?  exactly what kind of info do you need?

try the japan links sticky on the japan forum page

Japanese forums or any clubs in Japan with pictures if there are any?

Thanks

Paal

theres the Jenesis Dr30 site, along with a few local dr30. Searching on google is'nt the best way. I can rarely find any info about whatever i am searching for. For example, if any companies make a front kit for the mz20 soarer, or info about the soarer alone. So i ve taken to using altavista, and with better results. By the way, does anyone know of a mz20 kit?

when u say sr20 bluebird, u mean the japanese one? cause the local 80's one had a L20b.

Don't forget the S12 !

Try here for some info: http://www.club-s12.org/

Without that model, the S13 may have never been born. Overlooked by many these days, and contain many of the features found in later Silvia models. Have seen some cool looking ones around.

I went to buy one locally.. but it was very destroyed when i looked at it. Was hardly worth it - so i bought an aussie R31. Whilst hardly anything special, where else in the world can you find an RB30E skyline? hmm, ok i think South Africa as well.. anyhow :)

hachi is (was) cheap too - that's it's real selling point, that's why people drove them - cheap and they did the job. Then along came a cartoon and suddenly the myth outweighed the reality.

it was takumi (which, incidentally, means 'skillful' in japanese) that made the car - and not the other way around.

there's plenty of examples in motorsport where a top driver changed teams, and, suddenly, and 'unbeatable' car suddenly became part of the traffic.

tsuchiya could drive anything, as could shumacher, mccray, etc etc etc.

Yea I see your point, it wasnt designed as a race machine.

But for Keiichi to buy one and race it, and for it to do well against good drivers in powerfull cars, surely that means something to you?

Ah well, its high in my cool rating, even though its way overpriced at the min.

    • Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.
    • If the RB20 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.
    • Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.
    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
