  1. 2 Turbo's eh... perhaps he things that the compressor housing (intake) is 1 turbo and the turbine housing (exhaust) is the other?
  2. Depends if you want full $400 p.a cusoms... just get SH 17 RB in the new styles
  3. Genuine stuff is the way to go oils are a tad more expensive, but filters and stuff are cheap, and good quality. dont listen to the 31 bashers, they've probably never driven a real 31... 5w is a bit too thin for the old RB30 (most reliable RB evah). Head across to the 31 forums, we love all skylines, generally because they're great to thieve the 20's,25's and brake conversions out of
  4. 7k will get you a nice turbo aussie 31 20det, or 30et or a fairly bog stock Passage GT Feel for your loss buddy... thievin' skylines is coming alot more frequent.
  5. if the adjusters are busted, just take the headlight out and use a few washers, depending on where you put them will vary which way the lights point
  6. Basically - bolt on 30ET setup, S13 coilover conversion, minispool/locked diff and you'll be set. Alot of the blokes I know drift with stockers 30E, good springs, swaybar upgrade, strut brace and a mini-spool. As to the original question, Economy is quite good considering their age and size... I can get between 8.3 and 10 litres per 100k's depending on how I drive. It comes down to a) how you drive the car, b) how you maintain the car and c) the overall condition of the car. R31 Pintaras are not that economical, and you'll get shitted with the lack of power in the CA20 31 forums will have the info, you've just gotta look for it
  7. I was done for "parking against the flow of traffic" in a maccas car-park - $80 fine, a few years ago, it arrived in the mail I never saw the cop or whoever issued the fine. I was only there for 5mins tops... I was in my dads car at the time, he was like WTF? So now everytime I see someone parked 'against the flow of traffic' ie the wrong way I hope that they get fined too as for the dirty numberplate & defects, you're just gunna have to live with it, what shits me in NSW is that we have yearly rego checks n stuff and are still issued with defect notices, however in the other states, they have RWC (with sales and infringments only) and no yearly inspections. We pay thru the ass for rego and its obvious the $$ isnt being spent on our roads.
  8. It depends on wha paints you get - Acrylic, Enamel, 2 pac in a solid, metallics or custom colour... Its usually cheper to get the shop to buy them for you anyway, or are you just after an approx cost? You gotta think of it like this: Undercoat Colour Clear you'll use approx 3-5L of each when spraying the car (depending on the thinners mix) I purchased the paints for my 31 home respray at *almost* trade price from the local Auto1 total was about $700 for metallic 2pacs. 2pac undercoat ~ 5L + Hardener quick dry 2pac enamel ~6L (3 colours) 2pac Clear ~ 5L + Hardener 2pac Thinners ~ 10L All DeBeers paints.
  9. AAAAAAAhahahahaa cool *posts pics on R31 forum* Mudgee eh? I didnt realise it was on... shoulda headed up there.
  10. Hi guys, Just a bump and a bit of an update... It has been confirmed that Terry Ashwood and the Winfield 32 GT-R will be there, along with at least few of the Nissan WORKS cars. The GT-R will not be running due to some mechanical issues - suspect blown turbo. There may very well be not one, but two R35 GT-R's. c'mon Join in!
  11. Local newspaper or Classifieds wall down at the IGA is the best there is one out the back of work I can have for $400, I've just gotta get the keys and papers off the owner...
  12. stock 31 S3 GXE - $200 + home job re-spray and some imported Veilside Marriotts. still in the process of putting it all back together...

  14. The ad shits me as well, they make a few big statements about drivers and their cars, I wonder if you picked up a holden and were not totally satisfied with it you could get them for false advertising, because they lay claim to alot of stuff in that ad.
  15. Got mine the other day, Thanks! Top quality!... Ordering some more for the mrs in fact.
  16. Got the thumbs up & a big grin from "ITS 25T" (gun-metal 32 with cabon T wing and odd front bar) in Orange about 10 mins ago, I had a shit of a time turning right onto the main & managed to spit myself out infront of him safely... Hopefully he copped an eyeful of my "skyline nationals" sticker in the rear window!
  17. No, they are not the same. however the Skyline (read: Not VL) RB30 cross member just bolts up. and, because the pintara came out with the CA20, you'll have to have the RB30 engineered, the trans tunnel is also a little tighter in places from what I've heard from some accounts (if you're aiming for a 25det gearbox) You'd be better off finding a cheap skyline. A CA18DET drops straight in tho, and coz its a 1.8L wont need much in the way of engineering, a few of the R31 pinny lads I know go that way and dont have issues.
  18. Your rims eh!? might help if it wasnt 4wd ride height spec... or a 33 (jks) if you use an import broker they can arrange to get rims from Yahoo Japan off you, doesnt matter if sellers will not ship internationally.
  19. www.upgarage.com < no bidding, just buy www.upgarage.com.au / www.otomoto.com.au < Already in Aus www.japimports.com.au www.justjap.com R31 forums have a few 4x114.3's getting around, but nothin special, I dunno what offsets and stuff are suitable for later model Skylines, but the aus 31's can go fairly low without guard rubbage (8" wide around the +20 mark), lip the guard and you can get another 10-15 mm out of it depending on your tyre choice. NS.com and Boostcruising usually have some decent 4 stud gear if you can stand trauling thru their forums
  20. I picked up a set of Veilside Marriotts from Yahoo Jap for a steal, shipping cost 4x more than the rims... and it was still cheap for JDM 17's. 4 & 5x114.3 +28 offsets 7.5 & 8.5 wide... I've seen them around Aust for as much as $1800
