  2. hi there, all four of the rotors on my R32 GTS-t Type M are pretty scored up... i dont know if i can just machine them, does anyone know the service limits for the rotors? whats the minimum thickness before i have to discard them?
  3. R32 GTS-t (non-projector) high/low beams are H4. fog lights are H3C, and marker lights and signal lights are 194. R32 GTR (projector) lowbeams are H3C. highbeams are H3, and marker and signal lights are 194.
  4. hi there. i just finished starting my 1990 Skyline GTS-t Type M, for the first time in about 6 weeks. it's currently winter stored in my garage, temperature and humidity controlled. its cold in there, but the temperature is set for the cars health not mine. anyways the only things i did to it before storing it were top up the fuel tank, change all fluids, and over-inflate tires to prevent flatspotting. today i felt like hearing it, and since im not using a trickle charger i figure it'd be good for the battery to start it up. when i cranked the ignition, it started up, then hesititated for abit which is normal since it basically landed and went straight into winter storage without a tune-up. but then i noticed the fan was on.....wtf? btw the engine is completely stock. so i get out and open the hood, yeah the fan IS on, and i hear ANOTHER noise...oh man. from my exhaust, which is 3" from the turbo elbow back (still has a cat in there though) from just inside the tip, theres a flipping sound? you know how when you're a kid and you stick a piece of paper in a fan blade it makes that sound? its that exact sound. and while im crouched by the exhaust looking at that, light, arid white smoke slowly starts coming out, about as much as a cigarette would make. it smells normal though, like 94 octane, 'feels' normal too, but my car never used to make smoke like this. when i turned the ignition off it was still smoking. my house is 2003, so its new, but now im wishing i had stuck steel wool in the exhaust tip to rule out the possibility that some misguided rodent hid in there and is now medium-rare. even when i turn the ignition off, something that sounds like its near the turbine and downpipe area gives a few lazy thumps before the car completely shuts off and stops making sounds...im feeling kinda down right now , the skyline's coming out of winter storage in about 3 weeks, and it'll go straight to a mechanic to be prepped for the spring. but now it looks like it might have some problems too. if you have any insight or suggestions please post up.
  5. Congrats on your new ride! you made the perfect choice too B) at your age it can get hard to drive with your head and not your balls sometimes, but make a conscious effort to drive according to your skill. have fun!
  6. i'd be interested in knowing what's causing the striations in the rotor as well. my whole disc is covered in shallow grooves, almost like an oldschool record for a record player ...
