G'day all.

Honestly can't remember if I ever created one of these.

So, hi.

I'm luke, I used to post a lot.

On my second 32 gtr.

Hasnt run since I purchased it about 8 years ago, so typical skyline project.

 

Have done a lot of my own mods on my last car. Kind of miss it to be honest (the car).

Come say hi, I promise not to bite.

Welcome to a place where you just spend endless amounts of money to have a car that doesn't work, or barely works.

I come here now to live vicariously through others, well, I do spend too much money on my cars, but my cars are still working......typically...

Times haven't really changed alot though, the build cars, run the cars hard, then break the cars, rinse and repeat, has been going on from when I first joined SAU

Good times

You forgot that one guy who buys a car, swears he'll leave it stock, modifies it, and sells it 6 months later for a new stock daily...

Sounds like a fun guy

In other news, I'm picking up the MX5 from MX5 Mania tomorrow, yeap, another car that I said I was keeping stock,  but didn't

Weirdly, it is all set up for taking it to the track, which I said I wasn't going to do

Meh, I'll be living in Goulburn soon, so maybe that's a sign of my symptoms 

Yes, I know, it's a sickness, a fun sickness, but a sickness none the less

I f**king told you to buy that built 2.5 one ready for the track from the get go that was 18K.

God damnit you people need to listen to me :D

Dose, the BMW M4 Competition the shittiest car ever.

BORING on the road at low and high speed.
BORING on the track relative to a truly fun track car.
EXPENSIVE AND PRETENTIOUS.

I also haven't driven my car since December, because it is in second paint jail after first paint jail. I find a way to have a car off the road for a year and it isn't even f**kin broken :D

Pfffft, I'm not *that* new.

I haven't spent endless amounts and my car STILL doesn't run!

 

But, thanks for having me.

Re-welcome! :D 

"used to post a lot" ? 

Bah. Only 4th on the 'Most Content' leaderboard

Thanks.

I once heard rumours that some of the top posters used counter multipliers to exaggerate their count.

Not sure if true or not.

And I used to post much more than I do now.

But, with all my shit posting, I made some great friends.

Including my best friend.

bro used to post a lot until he bought a vag.

like me

like PranK

like Dunc

my theory is that VAGs are Skyline Kryptonite.

It's just so comfortable! 

Like, how hard would it be to install heated, ventilated and massage front seats in the gtr?

And a night vision camera?

And plush air suspension? 

And proximity start and entry?

 

But seriously, stopped posting a lot when gtr stopped running. And then didn't really get back into it.

And the scene has changed a lot.

Then I moved rural where the car scene is prado's and 70 series.....

Yeah Wakie opened again last week.

And to correct the record...only Nissans in this house, other than one hilux paddock basher that I'd love to replace with an equally abused navara, and the tractor

    • 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
