Sold Skyline and now have new toy


Recommended Posts

I sold my Skyline 1 week ago and with $30,000 grand to spend I went shopping for a new car. My original plan was to get a 4wd but I would only really use it 5% of the time. So I ended up buying a fully worked VR Commodore Clubsport converted to a VS with Hydratrack. I know it doesn't handle like my Skyline but this motor is a 366 that's 6.0 litres with 100hp NOS System Installed. The car is in Showroom Condition currently producing 235rwkw not bad for NA. The car only cost me $14000 and has $50000 spend on it in the last 6 years. I still love Skylines but I couldn't insure mine for a reasonable price. Plus I often carry 4 people. It leaves me with a lot of spending money though.

The car is getting the auto box rebuilt though with stall convertor and heavy duty clutch packs and stage 2 shift kit controlled by ECU fully adjustable. As bad as auto's can be the T700 can be turned into a beast that you can shift at your lesure. Plus take offs will be quicker for drags. At least now I have a 250km speedo instead of the silly 180 I used to have and clock all the time.

30k not high consider this I just lost 20k in 6 months. New Motor 3.0 new turbo new intercooler new Haltech E6k new exhaust New Bodykit front side rear + Wing but I knew this when I was building it. But new project already runs 11's ant half price and NA still might supercharge it and bam instant 600rwkw.

    • 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
