(OO)SKYLINE(OO)

Just realised there are 2 threads. Here is what I said in the same/other thread.

If you got nothing else to spend money on, then go ahead. IMO they are a waste of money, nothing gained except a "nicer" looking number plate. Number plates just a number plate.

Let me guess, so its like a thin areal that pops up to give you an idea of where the front bar is so you can get a better judgment in parking the car?

Lauzilla can you bring brownies? AP bring some beef jerkey!

Ok from what I got out of the 1st sentence, you have a Tommy Kaira Front Bar, no OEM Bonnet Lip will fit on your bonnet but the Tommy Kaira Front Bar already looks good without a bonnet lip..? From what RusH has posted, its the East Bear front bar / East Bear Front Bonnet Lip. They seemed to have copied the Nismo R34 GTR front bar which is an inbuilt bonnet lip above the grill which is inline with the bonnet. Anyway... You could try a Body kit place and they could custom make one. As for your Boot Lip Spoiler, Nengun have whats called a Trunk Spoiler made by Mine's in Japan http://www.nengun.com/mines/trunk-spoiler

You can ask Carizma International, David on SAU or JSA in Peston to see if they got anything lying around...

Just get the Semi for now as its just for your top up unitl you do your next oil change. Get a litre and see how you go, if its not enough just buy another 1lt bottle.

By looking at the photo it looks like the earth wiring as what Crispy Fries has said. Its normal and it comes with the car and aslong as it bolted somewhere around that area should be fine. Welding looks OK, but wouldn't say its the best job ever... Are you thinking of taking it to the other exhaust place to fix it up?

How can you say its rubbish?

Yeah man! Cuz your car is turbo, you will burn off a bit of oil as it is normal. So I can suggest you check your oil every 2-3 weeks, thats my opinion anyway. Couldn't tell you anything about Penrite 10W 50, as I have only used Martini Racing oil 10W 40 (Awesome but bit too thin and burns off quickly) Better use for newer engines. Shell Helex 15W 50 (Used it but would not recommend it) Valvoline 20W 50 (Wanted to try a thicker oil so it would not burn off so quickly, this was too thick and car ran sluggish) Mobil 10W 40 atm and it runs smooth. Even when the oil starts to thicken abit, the car still feels good. +1 As burkill has said, if you don't have a chance of changing the oil just yet, top it up to full, just give it a bit more oil, so above the "H" Line but not too much. Yes Auto Barn , Repco, Supercheap Autos sell them. My susggestion is Mobil or Motul. Penrite 10W 50 should be fine but but see if its a Full or Semi Synthetic... Iam sticking with Mobil. It all comes down to personal prefferance and your own experiance. BUT I can say you will not go wrong with Mobil as my mechanic recmommended. Again whatever you do, just top it up to full ASAP. Cool!

Im there!

How did you let the engine oil level touch to low? You should be doing regular top ups... Anyway as J'z-R33 has said, do an oil change. I asume you got a RB20DET... It is an older engine, I would suggest a thicker oil then the Full Synthetics. I would say Semi Synthetic. I am using Mobil Synthetic S (Semi Synthetic) 10W-40 as recommended by my mechanic after my turbo rebuilds. Its about $35 - $40 for 5 litres at Auto Barn / Supercheap Autos. Also change your oil filter at the same time with the engine oil. If you really want, take it to your mechanic and ask to see if they can do a light engine flush, that just cleans it up a bit and gets rid of any shit inside the engine, then do the oil change.

Heh! SOLID!

From memory if your car is older than 1990 you have to be under 90 dB and I think if your car is 90 model and newer, you can get away with a louder exhaust... I suggest you find a stock R34 GTR exhaust, install a shitty compliance cat converter in and if you want to be safe, get a resinator put in the stock exhaust. Pass the test then free it up again but keep your stock exhaust system.

Windfield R32 GTR would go fastest out of all in that car park... Wouldn't it..? Haha!!

Looks mad!

Just for interest sake, how much you looking for?

Rays Engineering Volk Wheels Nismo LMGT 4 Wheels

HA! You heard of the Red Rings Of Death? Send it back to Microsoft at our own expense then wait 6 weeks and get it sent back at your own expense. Or I know a of someone who will fix it for $180, thats if it can be fixed. Usually a over heating problem aka Microsoft use cheap quality componets. PS3 FTW! If you want a Shitbox 360, don't bother, build a Quad Core processor PC with a killer graphics card, 3 gig of ram a Terror Byte of HDD space and buy a adaptor for Xbox controller to USB to pug an play.
