Name: Scott, but literally everyone calls me Sciby, including my 2 year old godson and before you ask, it's pronounced "Sky-bee".

Age: 27.

Location: Central Queensland.

Car: Don't ask what I drive now, but just had a loan approved, so I'm about to hunt down an R33.

Occupation: Sysadmin (professional geek) at the same place as Squizz.

No doubt will meet some/all of you when I finally get the new car.

I'm Jay age 61 retired Rn. non retired revhead and PC freek

Hi Sciby.... you still with OCAU?

I've got a 94 GTS25T Silver with a crappy red front bar

Just getting into the drag scene alternating drives with my first born Mick

AKA Lanos Driver.

I've owned 70 or 80 cars.....mostly orphans..... and do most of the work

on them myself.

To the wankers who posted on a recent SDU thread regarding over 50's

drivers, I see more dangerous young drivers than old, especially when

it's raining. :)

ONARUN For sheer driving pleasure the Skyline tops the list followed by Alfa Romeo Berlina 1750, 1750 GTV,Triumph TR3A,BMW 3.0 si,

Marcos V6GT,Hillman Imp (modded front camber makes all the difference)

I wrote off a Honda 9S with 4000miles on the clock at Oran Park.

Then there was Jag E Type 3.8, several M11 3.8 Jags, a handfull of Triumps.... one MD the rest Mk11 PI's, 2x Mk11A Sprites, MGB(big disapointment , that one) Izusu Bellet(new) Honda Civic (new)

Suberu 4x4 waggon(new) Mazda E4100 based motorhome(self built)

couple of minis of course,EH Holden, just long enough to drive it home ,recover from the trauma, and sell it, Citroin something 85model,

and so it goes on.

Right now I've got the Skyline, 82 Range Rover with P76 motor 89

4spd auto and interior+ Recaros. The 3.0 si is going but deregistered,

minus front sidewindows(thanks you pricks) Marcos is a rolling body/chassis awaiting new engine gearbox..........suggestions anyone??

And now these arthritic doddery old fingers are tired of typing so i'll stop

:lol:

It's good to read something about local Skyline owners----a diverse bunch of people joined by a common interest in GTR's.

I have enjoyed breaking away from the conservatism of Porsche ownership and owning a car that is truely wild.

I take my car to Queensland Raceway regularily and it is always a buzz to demonstrate that it is as fast as Porsche 996 twin turbos that have mods and sticky tyres, particularily when the engine in my car is much smaller that the Porsche.

Most embarassing moment: being mistaken for slip's father

    • Last year I got a set of MCA street coilovers for my turbo Forester after my son hitting a concrete gutter/wall on a small bridge causing the whole drivers side suspension to get bent because the rain just made the car slide out I love them, I think they were $2400. even had a hiccup of have the wrong hub configuration (my fault) so got onto MCA and they sent the correct shock ends overnight parts from QLD, for free!  I was very impressed with their customer service and quality of the product  
    • They've had some weird failures on their brake actuators. One of them was because they added some kind of lubricant to the factory fill brake fluid that aftermarket brake fluid didn't have so it would affect the seals. Another was just mysterious, probably internal corrosion or something eating away at Prius brake actuators. Parts alone for those are a few thousand USD so not a cheap fix.

    • KYBs are typically twin tube, putting them in the lower tier of desireability. Do you just want to replace worn out ones for the lowest cost? I mean, you wouldn't just replace one end of a car, if the rears are a similar age to the fronts, then they are probably nowhere near what they should be, and likely won't be great against brand new fronts. So, to spend ~$800 on 2nd tier dampers, when you could get a decent set of MCA coilovers for <$4k.....? As to the strut tops. 1st up, the Sparesbox site specifically tells you that they are not correct for an R33. Beyond that, why do you think you need them?
