Zaco- Yeah, we can only but try to get people to post more often. You ever come down to Alice?

Pig- Don't know what Darwin is like but Alice really sux for anything performance. Seems like Melbourne is the go.

Have seen a few websites which look ok but never actually used any. Where are you? Can recommend panel beater's in Alice but it really depends on the actual person doing the work, ie. Not an apprentice. :action-smiley-069:

I am looking for an Intercooler soon if anyone can help me with that. I have an R33 GTS-T 40th Anniversary 1998.

Hey Zac, Hope the pulsar treats you well, I was considering one couple of years back but went with a Mazda MX6 instead..

The Intercooler.....What brand would you recommend, Don't want to spend too much but REALLY don't want a shitty one as it gets pretty hot here in summer, and where to get it from. I will need to ship it up here too, will probably have a mate install it for me and another mate Dyno tune it afterwards. Any recommendations on size or anything else I need to consider?

Thanks for any help/advice offered!.

Had a look at the pulsar, had sparkles through the paint :) No go there.

As for intercooler, as i said in the other post, i dont think there is a huge difference in them, i'd stick with a brand name just to be safe. Theres 2 types but according to hot 4's they're not really different. As for size, 600x300x15 is the norm most of the time, im pretty sure its 15. Can pick them up from a few places, auto bahn, stupid cheap, repco... never bought one but shouldnt be hard to find one. I live up here in Darwin, i'd recommend getting into contact with High-Tech tuning, he seems to be the guy for skylines up here.

600x300x50 is the nor size, 15mm is to small to work .

Thats it, knew there was a 5 in there somewhere.....

Thanks Guys!!! ;)

Looking in Darwin at the moment, see how i go.. have another potential at the moment, 1978 Leyland Mini S, with a few mods...

Thats the mini that is now sitting in my garage (not that i actually have one)!

Suspension movement is the air in the tyres, stiff is good... except for certian roads... my ass hurts.

Great fun to drive, has a great note to it, and with the work done, it has some balls too. For a mini.

Cruising the other night there was 2 R33's crusing along, one in left lane one in right, i was in the centre.... dropped back a gear and flawed it past them.... then they did it back... bye bye :)

Was funny though, one asian bloke was hanging out the window with his thumbs up :D

I saw your Clubman out on Friday night, looks very neat ;)

I also have a 1978 Clubman, they are such a fun little car.

You should come down to the next motorkharna and have a go.

Let me know if you want any further details if your interested.

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      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

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????

      Looking for autoelectrician in Perth who can do the OEM to double din stereo upgrade.

      Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
