he didnt no wat 2 say , so i handed a texter 2 him and said , cross out the R on the badge , and slap a S there mate .

have a nice day lol

the guys face was priceless lol

You real champion!

lol.

Well seeing as we are here: an aquantence of mine with a gtst (told everyone how I paid too much becaues I paid twice what he did and my cars older...) about 2 months after purchasing his cheap skyline stops driving it. Ask him about it one day he tells me "it has 50 psi compression in the front left cyliner and 60 in the front right.."

Everyone calls it a skyliner!

They ask me if its illegal cause its RHD

Some dude was at my house the other day with an aristo i commented on how nice it was and mentioned i have a skyline, i think he got offended he was like "pfftt i have one too"

Driving to Uni it had been wet but was mostly dry, just a few light patches left, didnt think much of it when I cam up to a corner the was completely wet. Started to brake, and there was nothing, locked wheels, and back end started to step out. I wasnt going very fast when I got to the corner but manged to get the car around the corner, half sideways, waiting to clip the gutter.

Just touched the gutter with the back tyre which straightened me out, Im now pointing the correct way facing down the street to which I see a truck pulled over no more than 25 meters away.

The truck diver had just stepped out his vehicle to see a skyline crossed up through an intersection and clipping a gutter, he walks out into the first lane of traffic and points and abuses me. All good I would have taken the abuse but it was his 40L drum of oil that had tipped over and covered the road making it slippery, he just didnt know it yet.

one time.... at band camp

this old asian dude was sitting in his car in a carpark as i pulled in, stopped right near him, looking around for a spot, and he sticks his head out and says >..< "ooooh nice car, haww, japaneeese." i figured he was japanese and said thanks. lol

what a nice old guy.

I don't get any funny comments.. they pretty much all sound like "nice import fkhead", "go back to japan", "get a holden" etc etc

I have had props from a few cougars about my Stagea though :P

Stagea comments are amusing, i've had a few people do the whole 'Oh, it's a skyline wagon, I know all about them', and they proceed to rattle off a bunch of facts, all of which are wrong.

There was also a group of Japanese tourists gathered around the car taking photo's of it once lol.

I live near a Uni and regularly drive past. I have some Jap/Asian students looking at my car :P

Maybe reminds them of home....

I don't get many comments however when I'm at the lights a [insert riced 4 cylinder car/commondoor/fjord/porsche here] will always want to race me ;)

The best if their GF is in the passenger seat checking out my car - if the guy looks like he is getting pissed off - I blow a kiss to their GF

If it's the episode I'm thinking of, it was Hammond. It was the episode where they all

bought crappy rear wheel drive cars and took them to the track, they had to compete with all

the other drivers in their much better cars.

Hammond jokingly said this to a GTR driver to try and psyche him out... there were a bunch

of cuts to all three of them saying stupid things to other drivers to try and put them off.

I watched a very old clip on youtube the other day with Clarkson saying the r32 GTR would beat

an f355 Ferrari in competition

QUOTE(Munkvy)The guy on top gear saying that R32 GTRs brakes sometimes explode!

i don't suppose you know the episode that was in?

anyway mine...

"skylines are so passe"

yes, i've also had the "skylines suck"

"skylines don't have any torque" to which i replied "do you even know what torque is?" ... "yeah it's it's it's it's er it's um"

i don't even own a skyline

    • Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.
    • If the RB20 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.
    • Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.
    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
