Well, short-list. DR30 wouldn't been nice, but I don't think the guys would understand. A shame, since old-school Skylines are horn.

1. Flite (R32 GT-R)

2. magic1 (R33 w/ 'gate)

3. R33_Cam (R34 GT-t)

4. sileighty (obvious)

5. 13_devil (R33 GTS-t)

6. BoOsTeD_RB26 (R32 GT-R)

7. Sneaker (R32 GT-R)

Cheers to the others who offered their cars for the cause. Shame we don't have more people, but I'm trying hard enough to keep it hush-hush at school.

Just need to see how much ($$) you guys think would be fair for a lift there and one back, though we probably won't need as many cars on the way back if some of you can't make it at the midnight finish for the ball. Can just pile into the back of cars, 'cause the exit doesn't matter as much. Lest someone is up for leaving a pair of marks on the blacktop outside the Sheraton, of course!

its cool Matt, i understand :)

it's tough to like a skyline as old as mine (and not many do) but when i go out cruisin' with my mates' S15s, civics, R33s, integras etc etc it does surprise them a bit. but it's not 'suit'ed for a ball (excuse the pun)...

post some pics of it aye...

Bah, can't believe I missed a GT-R. Went through from the start of the thread to the end, thinking I'd nabbed all the GT-R's; damn! Well, if you're still in your corner, we've got another who'd like to come along. Makes a grand total of eight, 7 cars from here, one from outside.

Short-list updated

Planning to PM each of you in the next week or so, to organise times, swap contact details and find out who wants what ($$).

Well, I feel like you at least deserve something for your time, 'specially since you did it for nothing last year. Anyway, cheers Paul. How many rwkW/hp is the car pushing?

not sure. last time it was tuned it was 220hp but i have played with the safc since then and all i get is big backfires and it feels a little less sluggish.

Wow, what a cool way to show up to ur ball... 8 skylines.. nice..

My sisters yr 12 ball is this weekend... she had trouble getting a limo (all taken up). I said that i should beable to gather a few skylines for her... but she ended up getting a limo some how.

    • A little more work this week.  Fitted astra power steering pump in the boot with a lowe fabrication bracket. Gave the pump a good clean, fitted Anderson plug and high pressure fitting. With the intercooler being flipped under rad support factory headlights weren't going to work. Ordered a set of origin battle lights, they arrived so got them test fitted. Will require some fiddling to fit nice but was an easy quick option for now. And today we pulled out the manual Rb gearbox and test fitted a ZF 8HP50. It will fit with some casting tabs cut off and small tap of the tunnel with a hammer. Pick up the adapter plate Wednesday so hopefully all bolted in Friday and measure for tailshaft which will be a 2 piece. Been doing a lot of ecu, pdm and tcu loom design so when comes to wiring it in a few weeks will all go smoothly.
    • FYP. Sadly. Even bolt cutters wouldn't take 2 sec. But in the days of 18v angle grinders, nothing is safe.
    • One piece driveshaft I would recommend a dual CV setup otherwise stick to OEM. I have heard most one piece driveshafts cause excess vibration otherwise. The transmission grind I'm quite familiar with. You can try shockproof gear oil, otherwise you need a new transmission. The shifter is extremely simple on these cars. If you want pull apart the assembly and replace the plastic bushing but I doubt that fixes anything. The tail light issue is very common, unfortunately new tail lights are long discontinued. The trunk antenna going up always is because your radio doesn't have a true power antenna control, just remote amp power signal. There is a blank switch plate that you can pop out and install a switch for this or alternatively source a head unit that has proper antenna control. Throttle body sticking you have to disambiguate by disconnecting the cable and seeing if the linkages are the problem or something else. There is a procedure to adjust them, refreshing them is also somewhat involved if that's the issue. I have dealt with many of these issues. Old cars really are fractals of problems. The more you fix the more you discover there is to fix.
    • Welp, you've got a long list of experiences right there. I'd say you're on the right path.
    • That's correct, suits my requirements a bit better. Sure there are also numpties there, however it's generally a different vibe and more my kind of vibe.
