When my mechanic did my new spark plugs he said he found a crack in a hose that he fixed up, my best guess is that where it all went... but if it continue to leak after i replace the coolant then i'll start worrying and search for another explanation.

I had a look in my radiator and found it had a green coolant in it, upon recommendation from a few close apprentice mechanic friends and my mechanic, I was told that Nulon green was the right one to go with, anybody got any opinions?

Thanks snozzle, I'll have my mechanic take a look at that and see if thats the problem.

Hey guys, Your all probably going to reply with "you idiot" or "your the reason skylines are in such bad condition" but please bare with me, im just new to cars and my whole family is car illiterate so I had nowhere to learn from. Ive had my skyline for perhaps a month now and everything was fine when i first got it, but now i checked oil and water and noticed that my coolant is pretty much empty, I cant see any liquid in it and I don't even remember what colour the coolant was. I have no intent on driving it until I get this refilled properly, but I have no idea what coolant to go with, I barely know anything about coolant other than it comes in varying colours which are generally used as a guideline but I don't even have that info. Any help?

The oil level is fine and the filter is almost new, having been serviced only 500km ago Its a non turbo, so don't have to worry about boost

Hey Lately my oil pressure gauge has been getting pretty low from time to time and other times it will be normal and fine, sometimes it even drops down so low and then goes back to normal during a 1 hour trip. I have a photo of the pressure gauge at its lowest which was only 2 days ago, and since it hasn't had the issue but it does come and go and im not sure if I should be worried or not, any opinions or suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks Cassbo, that makes more sense now Wow, 30% thats pretty big... I thought it would lose like 30kw or something but damn...

Dyno results I ran my N/A R34 Skyline, I was the green P plater for anyone who's wondering Those are the specs I got which were somewhat disappointing since the Nissan Site says it should get 146kw, which i realize is at the flywheel and there is loss, but i didn't think that much of a difference... Anyone got any insight into that?

Just be happy your not a P plater, we get a 3 month suspension for any speeding offence

YES! The 3D games are best left to proper consoles that can handle them properly, and definitely not a touch screen interface I do enjoy DragRacer though, and other 2D style games that aren't full on.

They purposely put the installation difficulty as 5/5 so that you'll get them to install it... theres marketing for you

I got my R34 now, and I really enjoy it. Feels fast enough for me and its N/A, I don't know about all you saying N/A is slow, I think its fast compared to the other N/A cars out there and for a P plater, I think it has enough power.

haha, that sounds awesome Espada, Cant wait to see some pics

Where can I pick up Sougi S 6000? Is it for turbos and highly modified vehicles? I have an NA RB25DE R34 25GT 2000 year model, Is this the best oil to be using? It sounds like everyone here agrees it is wonderful, but is that because your all running turbo charged beasts? Im currently using Penrite HPR 10, 10W-50 Semi Synthetic, anything wrong with that one? It was recommended to me by my mechanic for my other car which is older, but he recommends it for most cars.

How bad was it? Did it look like it would have caused a death?

Lets just hope the world isn't minus one skyline

haha! yeah, were not too fond of asian pop culture here eh?

Some of those look god awful, too much done to them, especially the interior shot which looks ugly... But the ones that are less intricate look very good, when the car remains a single colour but has a single graphic on it, i think they look best

Thanks dan, YOUR THE MAN!

Just wanted to say, i hate the new system of having to select a reply in order to view it completely... Is anyone else with me on this? Im hoping if theres enough response then this will get changed back, unless im the only one that feels like i enjoy scrolling up and down the screen viewing entire posts and being able to see attached images or other things in posts without having to know exactly which post its in.

I suppose your right. Where can I pick up these straps?

Would that be enough for me to take the car to track aswell? I was hoping for a permanent solution to make the car track worthy.

hey, Ive been looking for alternative to make sure my sub is fastened down, as the wires have come loose several times through cornering, even though im not exactly flying through corners. I was wondering if anyone knows any places around Sydney that do custom fabrication, either fibreglass or whatever kinds of materials there are. I was hoping to find a place that doesn't charge half a fortune, nothing like Westcoast Customs with their thousand dollar systems LOL.

Oh man... that sucks... Does anyone know a place that can make me something just like this but for the sedan version and hopefully for a price not all too high?

Hey, I was thinking of buying this subwoofer box off ebay that is moulded to fit the exact boot of an R34, but the ad says it is for a coupe, I have a sedan. Will this fit into my boot aswell? This is the listing for the item: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...em=190394475901 I REALLY need something that I can put my sub into that will mount it properly for track use, and this seems to be the most practical way of doing so. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
