Hy guys!

I created this account 5 years ago when I was looking at getting a skyline, but for some reason never posted.

I'm actually in New South Wales, but I essentially live in the middle of nowhere and I work/shop/do everything I have to in Canberra 

I picked up my new baby yesterday! There are some minor things that need attention, but all in all she's pretty tidy for a 28 year old GTST. It does have an RB25det in it too.

 Also in the picture, my daily driver Navara. 

Keen to get back into the import life, it's been a hot minute.

Welcome! Also from Canberra and have a 34 GTT, hopefully see you out one night! I got to the occasional boosters meet. They are always a bit of fun. Also compete in the hill climb and head to Wakefield a bit, not sure if you’re interested but it’s a bit of fun!

Cheers! I joined the Boosters Facebook page not too long ago. Seems like a decent amount of hot hatch enthusiasts too.

No overly keen on tracking, but the hill climb could be bulk fun.

Welcome! 

Any more pics of the 32? It looks nice, what plans do you have?

 

I havnt actually taken any more of it! Yet. It definitely presents better in photos than it does in person.

Plans are to fix what needs tidying and keep it as a nice streeter. Might wind up the boost a touch though.

Welcome :) Where abouts in the  middle of nowhere?....hopefully the skyline is good for wombat dodging....

Just outside of Bredbo. It looks like I won't be driving it at night any time soon anyway.

Welcome, so I'm guessing your from near michelago way?

I'm down in berridale, and have seen a white 33 getting around jindabyne, so you're definitely not alone.

Hopefully will see you out and about.

Yeah, I am. 
I've seen the white 33 floating around Jindy and I also see a really nice black one occasionally in Cooma. It's nice not being alone!

I should be getting the car back from the Import Mechanical guys at some stage over the next couple of weeks, and was intending to go to the Boosters All Club show/meet up in December.

      Shifting questions

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone

      Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.

      I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.

      I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?

      I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
