Ali-turko, dont mean to offend, but people like you are the reason people think skyline drivers are wankers.

No. You're the reason cousins shouldn't marry.

ali-turko didn't do anything wrong - he's new to his car and thought we were talkin bout real products, and if you look at the functions they're damn good products :P

Everyone mods their car how they want it. We can all still laugh about it.

my my, such wit and guile! I really wish you wouldn't talk about your mother like that. I was merely making an observation.

I get a bee in my bonnet when people buy these cars "coz they're kool" and have no idea whatsoever about mechanics. I've driven an r32 GTR, and to tell you the truth, I was overwhelmed by what an amazing vehicle they are; I didn't feel worthy of it at the time I drove it, as I knew that you would need to be fairly switched on to drive it to it's potential. An (89) R32 GTR is also a 16 year old vehicle now, so I would like to think that those who drive them would have an inherent understanding of the goings on under the bonnet, the high likelyhood of something going bang if it's not maintaned to a T, and at least knowing that the turbos will most likely need to be replaced within the first year of ownership.

So that's why I get pissed when some squid with NFI goes out and buys a GTR with no concept of just what an amazing car they are, their heritage, and as one of THE best cars to ever come out of Japan, and wants a swichable 3L kit/ choose any other mod that someone with a clue would at the very least question the feasability of.

There are only so many GTR's in existance, and even fewer in Australia, and they deserve to go to worthy homes, and one day I would like to think that I'll be able to own one, that's if there are any left after so many of them being wrapped around poles or neglected to destruction, by people who buy them for all the wrong reasons.

So Ali, if that doesn't sound like you, I apologise, and at least you were man enough to admit that you made yourself look like a dick, which I do respect. But please, look after your damn GTR, get to know it intimately as they are very special cars that need lots of attention and respect. and for gawds sake, think before you speak, haters thrive on stuff like you said to confirm their beliefs that skyline drivers are wankers with no clue.

my apologies for the hijack. :lol:

Mate,

I think you make some good points and arguments. I too get frustrated with the whole car seen at times. Especially when people pigion hole skyline drivers. You know when you are at a party or whatever and the conversion turns to cars as it often does, on average how long do you think it is before a car conversation turns into a drift or 1/4 mile debate eg,:

Trev: "Mate, my BOV is sooo tuff, you should see how much faster I can run the 1/4 now mate..."

Alex: "Bullsh*t, your BOV sounds sh*t mate. I got a D1 spec drift BOV which sounds way sicker. My ride is sooooo arsy now mate." :lol:

I just try to see the funny side of all of this and like others have said let people do what they want, its not like you can stop them and at least its entertaining.

precisely!!! I just hate the fact that you have to be careful who you tell that you own a skyline, because more often than not, they automatically presume you are "one of those wankers". all because some twat thinks if he buyz a skyline wiv a big arse bov he'll get chikz. I tell ya, it's a hard stereotype type to sway people from.

but yeah, I still have a laugh at their expense, although the joke is completely lost on them. *sigh*

oh well, at least we can see it :lol:

seriously jezzerrr, you need to calm down and take a few deep breaths. ANYONE can buy ANY car they want for WHATEVER reason they want to buy it for. in the end, it is still up to them how hard or soft they drive it, how the modify it, and how they look after it in general. there is no one single individual that cuases a bad name for skyline owners as we all, in some way or another, have contributed....its just not visible in your own eyes. End of the day, you have to deal with it.

BTW, that was a lame mother "joke"

wow, I wish I could be as balanced and diplomatic as you. I know all that, but I'm still entitled to my opinion. did I say "because I think this way, you need to change!" anywhere? no. So what you're saying is, it's not right to be passionate about anything? Because someone buys, say, a Picasso, for the sole intention of laying a big turd on it, an art afficionado should just be cool with that, because "in one way or another we all contribute"? puh-lease.

The joke was meant to be lame. crazily, most mother jokes ARE lame as a rule. probably even more lame than cousin jokes. but thanks for stating the obvious all the same.

Oh and, you have to deal with the type of person I am, because, at the end of the day, we all contribute one way or another, so if people like me weren't around, the balance would be skewed and the universe would implode.

:lol: Honestly dude, unless it's right in front of me, I don't really think about it hey. I dont walk the earth thinking of ways I can rid the world of people that abuse cars. You're right, it is anyones choice what they do with what they buy. when the subject comes up tho, I'll still say what I think, if I feel like saying it. It did, and I did. but anyone is free to tell me I'm a wanker if they truly believe that nothing I have said is legitimate.

Hmm its getting a little to serious for people just giving their opinions dont you think. I agree with both of you, sure its nice if people respected and understood what a good car a gtr is and how to treat it, but on the same token not everyone does know and maybe they do buy a gtr for the "image" or whatever. wldcrd is right, they can do whatever they want... after all its just a car, and its not your car they're doing to.. Try not to get to stressed over something you cant control or you'll die a young man!

I'll make a serious effort at a reply

If you had a 33 gtr then it would be easy....

On a 32, a panel filter will not give you hardly any induction noise.

A pod filter will give you induction noise, but hardly any turbo spooling noise

A ball bearing turbo will give you turbo spooling noise, and a pod filter will give you induction noise. Easy

:D

young my arse! I'm 27 :D 28 next month :):(

meh. it only annoys me when it's right in front of me. other than that i couldn't give two hoots what anyone else does.

yeah who would have thought someone would actually make an electronic BOV. talk about the definition of poser. I mean, i gotta admit, when I had the Magna (now we're talkin) i wondered what it would sound like to have a bov on it, but I couldn't be bothered with the time and money for a turbo setup, but i sure as hell wouldn't have wasted the money on a bloody electric Bov. To tell you the truth now that i've got the noisy bov thing out of my system (by having one for a couple of months), I'm looking at going back to a modded stock airbox and plumb back so it's not so obvious

    • 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 RB29 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
