  1. not worth it, Flick it off and get a 32 shell, or a 33 shell or even an S15 non turbo shell, move the brakes, driveline across and make a good drift car, there are a few good options on Trademe at the moment, I reckon a nice S15 non turbo would go well with that driveline
  2. Sorry dude, but i think you are stupid and I hope someone else manages to take you off this planet before you have the chance to kill others Population control for people who think like the above, you don't need a skyline, you need a bicycle or skateboard
  3. I wouldn't buy them man, they'll end up costing you round $2800 with current exchange rates, not sure if you have to pay tax too on top of that? plus if you've got a series 1 you'll need some mods to fit and possibly a new front bumper/bonnet/grille, so yeah, upto you in the end I guess, but for nearly $3k you could get a nice power increase
  4. Sounds like he's exaggerating to be honest The harmonic balancer doesn't go on the end of the cam, it goes on teh crank, the crank will be fine, unless they manage to somehow break it while removing the balancer, which is pretty hard to If they have the bolt out, all they need to do is put the bolt back in, then use a crank puller or steering wheel puller, if it's still stuck after that, use a crowbar from behind, works everytime, do you trust the mechanic? because there are a lot of dodgys out there, harmonic balancer removal usually only takes a few minuets at the most, crack the bolt with an air ratchet or use a breaker bar against the chassis rail, then unscrew the bolt halfway, get the pulley remover on it and away it comes
  5. asking way too much too, considering most implanted GTS's over here go for round 3-4k, and he wants 11k just because it's a ute
  6. Got to say that i don't like the airbrushing or yellow, also it's a conversion, i saw the original yellow RB20de a year or so ago, it's done well, but no tailgate so yeah, lift the dirt bike over the back of the car
  7. I'm with the HKS guys, 2530 or 2535 would be good :0
  8. for some more trouble shooting options go here: http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/52917-r32-speed...eplacement.html
  9. Nissan do this, it means you have the special million dollar winning car, Nah, but unscrew the 4 screws in the speedo, pull it out, check the speedo cable is plugged in properly, if it is, then check the sensor at the other end(gearbox end is still working, follow the cable up, sometimes they snap, if it's buggered just get a new speedo cable, if it's not, then you might need to take it to a mechanic, something must be stopping it from spinning)
  10. One screw at the top of the indicator, pull the indicator towards the front of the car to pull it out Standard wedge 5w, get the old bulb out take it in and match it up with the new one, it's simple really.
  11. Good choice man yeah I had the ebay ones too, they are exactly the same as the autojoy ones, I paid $40NZ for the ebay ones, but thought there was a difference and bought some off a local trader here in NZ for $100 exactly the same set arrived, at least they look sweet though

    Car Vs House

    I'd got for a house since I've got one, Getting rid of both my skylines to pay for alterations I'm with Ronin though, no more new threads for andru, at least if he has a house he won't be driving on his P Plates crashing into innocent old ladies dropping their kids off at school in corollas, haha
  13. Pretty sure they are the same, as the 4wd controller for teh ATTESSA runs off a different circuit, try it and see the wiring diagrams seem to match up, I'm sure it's just an RB20det ecu
  14. Nah i never finished it off i got the shrouds sorted so they worked over here, but bought a house and it's cost me a lot more money than first expected and with petrol going up I've decided to move to something more economical, so I've started building the 1200, probably go with the ca18det and use it on the weekends mostly but yeah, both skylines have been reverted back to standard, because a standard skyline over in NZ sells for more than a modded one in most cases :S
  15. yeah, HIDplanet are good the FX35/45 projectors are cheap, the shrouds are easy to change to RHD for our roads but are a bit blurry in the cutoff line, but you can get accord projector lenses or similar TSX lenses to replace the FX35 lenses if you want a crisp cutoff. They only cost liek $50 USD off ebay plus shipping they take D2S bulbs, so you can get an H4 to D2S bulb kit and it'll fit in your old wiring, you can also wire it up to do low/high beam because it has a motor in the housing, so instead of flashing the bulbs off, it pulls the shroud down I had them fitting in my old skyline lights, they are a 2.5" and fit nicely with a bit of cutting to the back of the headlight, probably takes half an hour to fit them if you hack them up a bit I have since sold mine though, since I'm selling my skylines off, but I'm looking at picking up a Datto 1200 and putting a ca18det into it or rb20, so I'm still floating on these forums, I'll hopefully put custom HID projectors into the old datto headlights for a bit of fun too
  16. yeah mate, that's right usually the only stay on the level the car got turned off at, if you add petrol and turn the ignition on, it'll rise both my GTS-t 92 and GTS4 89 have it and my missus corolla 94 and almost every car from the early 90s onwards
  17. nope, they don't use USB touchscreens, they just have touchscreens to control the GPS/DVD etc, better to sell it off and get an Lilliput EBY701 or similar off ebay to put in it's place
  18. There was a guy on here who was thinking of doing one last year. He had a good reason too, he was disabled, I think that it's an awesome idea for someone with limited mobility, to experience a GTR without being told you can't have an auto one. I've seen a guy here in NZ driving a fully modified 600hp+ GTR with dog box, with one arm :S it was scary though I'm trying to find the youtube vid now
  19. very gutted man, i've had my car broken into before, i feel your pain yeah you gotta choose alarms carefully, that tekniques one only sells for like $150AU, should hit up a Dynatron or Dynamco over there i think they are called? 5-star it, did the siren go off at all the wake you up?
  20. that's slammed mate, you need a new car :S mine was only half that bad and I should've written it off, looks like chassis damage to me mine cost $4500 to repair + $1200 for the engine, on a car that i only paid $4500 for, so in the end, i paid $10200 for it, not worth it, write it off, sell it for parts and get a new car, did you have insurance? if you did - claim on it, if you didn't - you live and learn, get it next time
  21. I'd say you could hit a low 10 at Taupo, just be careful of stripping 3rd if the gearbox is standard, especially at that power But not at Meremere, the quality of the track up there is pretty crap, it's too slippery to be honest
  22. yeah sh@un is right, no gains to be had it was probably a radiator/cooler combo at the rear because they'd run out of room at the front, the fans were probably just to push air through because it'd be lacking the wind you get from the front of the car
  23. haha never thought of it that way oh yeah Paramount moved over this morning, the final studio to do so
  24. It's about time finally good to have a winner Heard that Blu-ray has offered Toshiba/Microsoft a cheaper buy-in according to www.Gizmodo.com and there are rumours that the new Xbox360 model will come with a blu-ray based rom drive :S yeah you are right about the storage, picture quality wise they are almost equal, with HD-dvd having a few extras like Picture in picture and some other options, but these are going to be included in the Blu-ray 2.0 update which I think has already been put out
  25. white one, it has a full M-spec bodykit, apart from the rear caps as pointed out above, the spotlight front bumpers are on most Mspecs, look out for the 4-pot front and 2-pot rear brakes which will confirm it is an mspec, whcih most GTS-ts are, well all the ones I've had in the past anyway as having owned 5 skylines in the past, that red one looks like trouble.... being an ex stolen car $8k for an unrego'd or warranted car, he could've rego'd it and warranted it if there was nothign wrong and put the price up.... it just doesn't make sense, the mags are ugly and won't sell for as high as a set of stock R32 wheels, if the interior was replaced, the KMs might not be genuine on the speedo either Or Big boys black one, although the kms are high, hopefully it's been looked after, or you could RB30 it or RB25 it if the engine blows
