Hey everyone,

I would like 2 bring up the idea of Goods and services exchange for us Skylines Australia members.

For example, if we could create a register of who we are, what skills we could use to help others here ( eg: parts access, audio installation, mechanical repairs etc)

Once this is known, we could contact each other for mutual help with our skylines ( trading goods and services, cash etc depending on whats required)

A practical example of this: I need help with audio installation for my car.........Someone helps me and in return i compensate them with parts, cash or help with their car

Does this sound like a good idea?

What do you think?

I'm not good for anything, but I just thought I'd show my support for this thread. Great Idea ! If we could get it maybe in a more formal way that would be good also, maybe it's own section on the SAU website ?

Nick, detailer ? I'll be in touch ! Do you do a good cut & polish ? What about engine bay detailing ?

That is my 200..... you can probably tell from the finish on that ;)

My dad is a classic car restorer so i inherited that detailing talent i guess..

happy to give you a hand with polishing (your car :lol: )

God that will teach me not to scan read ... I read that last line as "I'll be happy to give you a hand job" ... Now where were we ;)

Nice finish. My car since ariving has only been washed once, and due to Sydney air it gets dirty just sitting in the garage. It has quite alot of fine scratches and a few more prominent due to what seems to be the previous owners cleaning attempts (large swirls). I'd love to bring it up to look like your car but wouldn't even know where to start.

How much would you want for a full wash, cut/polish, wash and wax ? Do you also know much about detailing engine bays eg Plumbing ?

Jimbo,

IM sure we can work something out mate... maybe a case or beer or something...

Prank: i reckon we organise a day to work on cars like u ocne did with mysfit where a group gets together at a location like some sort of big garage and everyone helps everyone else...

Jimbo: you need to wash your car first using meguiars gold class wash, chamois it completely dry then polish the car (I use auto glym super resin polish ) applying with a small piece of towling or smooth cloth in a circular motion focusing on the marks and scratches.... do the whole car (will take ages) then buff it all off....next step get some meguiars yellow wax and some yellow round applicators and rub wax into the paint again in a circular fashion.... use a bit of force to..... once complete and the wax is drying, use one clean cloth and half buff it off.... then use another fresh cloth for a final shine and removal of any left over residue.

bobs ur uncle...

Case sounds good to me :P and definately a maintanance day sounds like a good fun idea. Maybe combined with a BBQ ... nice little social for everyone.

than me :uh-huh:

shucks.......now I'm blushing

I'm not particularly great, I'm probably no better than the next guy. But I've had a bit of practice on a few cars & wouldn't mind helping out.......

ATM I currently need help with my front suspension and Audio installation of Amp/Speakers and Subs, installation of cams and injectors.

In return I can offer cash, Japanese translations, or access to s/h parts for Skyline...180sx and R32 GTR from an importer at mates rates:cool:

So If U can help out give us a PM or reply here

Thanks

Akira

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise    
    • My Fuga Hybrid is JDM, 2014 model but very similar to the V37 from the looks of things..same platform just physically larger and very comfortab;e
