Hi all,

Thought I'd better follow protocol and introduce myself. I recently purchased a V35 350GT Premium as a daily driver after driving too and from work in a very boring Holden Astra here in Adelaide. Plans for the Skyline are fairly minimal, but I think the first thing on the list is getting rid of the PO's Infiniti badge swap and tidying up the wheels which have gutter rash on all 4 :mellow:. Other than that I don't want to do anything too excessive as it will be my daily but I'm open to suggestions on basic/safe mods. This is my first Skyline, always had a soft spot for the 350Z but I need back seats occasionally (2 daughters, our family car is a Subaru Outback but that's pretty boring to put it politely) so V35 it is. I also own a 1971 Morris Mini K which is an ongoing project (aren't they all though?) and a couple of motorcycles so I'm no stranger to working on cars, engines etc.  Looking forward to trawling through the forums here, have always found car forums to be a wealth of knowledge for DIY, maintenance, advice.

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
