[Time For A New Rock Crusher]

How come you want to convert anyway? RB25 boxes are good boxes!

No probs wid the 25 box, its just a bit revvy in 5th gear on long distance and even on the freeway. Just wanted a better ratio for longer drives and when cruising the freeway

[Tacho Seismometer]

Just a quick technical query.

Just changed out the battery in my boot and since then my tacho has started wigging out.

Sometimes it reads correct and then other times it reads erractically like a two bob watch bought in Bali.............

..............goes off like a seismograph after a nuclear bomb.

.............anyway was wondering if anyone has had a similar problem and if so what was the remedy or if anyone has an answer to solve this problem, it would be greatly appreciated and stop me from blinking so much and having an epileptic fit when im like doing 3000 - 7000 rpm whilst idling at a red light!!

Cheers

Anyone know of a 6 speed manual conversion for the Skyline??

Was thinkn of ditching the 5 speed for a 6, has anyone or does anyone know of a conversion kit or somebody that can supply the complete 6 speed gearbox to change out?

Don't know if there is such a thing or if there is a box that I can adapt to suit.

Comments welcome.....................................

[Yellow No More!]

YEA BOI!

Finally got the yellow off the Skyline, can't believe how happy I am, woo hoo

It felt like eternity until the time I could dive the beast legally on the road again............................................

Anyway its great to have a V8 in the stable but a turbo six shooter is just as much fun and goes just as good as the Chev.

Back on the road fellow Skyliners, so b safe and see you all out there

your basically bitching about getting a yellow for shit that IS illegal, hmmmmm???

the only one i dont believe is the tyre load stamp! have you had a look?

yeah they were imported with the car from Japan, they are Toyo Trampio Vimode 255/40ZR17's gonna put on the new Toyo Proxes 4's, that'll solve the problem......

R33's came with special batteries which allowed a tube to be plugged into the battery. This tube then went down thru a hole in boot and out under neath somewhere. This allowed the battery to ventilate. If you have changed your battery to an australian one, then i doubt it came with this modifcation on the battery.

There is also vents in the boot it self, bottom drivers side in the corner.. Take a look. Im sure that these are there due to the battery being in the boot.

I am running a jap spec battery so ive managed to keep that tubing. IF i was to go Australian type battery, i would just get a dry cell which doesnt need ventilaton as far as i am aware... =)

sweet, cheers. I have located the breather and the vent hole. the battery is as safe as Fort Knox, however the pits said they still want the battery vented to atmosphere via the breather, will look at a gel filled battery to get around this problem.

your exhaust will scrap if you dont have at least 100mm clearance

sometimes the inspector will also fail you because the car should be 100mm with a car full of people

no intrusion bar is also a big no no

plenty of bolt on kits nowdays without removing the bar

as for yellow stickers they happen from time to time

you'll get used to it

yeah gonna take the Hybrid fmic out and put the rock stock baby back in. do u know where i can get a bolt on kit for the bumper support bracket?

If not i spose I'll hav to track down a wreck n do a bit of cut n shut??

I love these.

1:

The lowest point of your entire car and ALL of its equipment must be above 100mm.

This is not just to stop you from looking like a jack-ass, but its practacle.

2:

What cheap ass brand tyres are they ?

3:

Sorry buddy, but your intercooler is NOT stronger than your crash bar....your intercooler was probably installed for aesthetics and power you don't really need. The crash bar is there to save you, and your car. Again, don't do shit the cheap way - install the intercooler properly without cutting / shutting, and you have no drama's. If you need to cut the bbar to get it in there, the intercooler is too big. You don't need an intercooler too big to fit in there without structural modification.

4:

This is a simple ADR ... no comment.

1. i've got Tein coil overs so adjusting is no biggy

2. They are Toyo Trampio Vimode - came from Japan with the car - their road rules don't inforce tyre load ratings

3. The Hybrid fmic came with the car I didnt fit it, so I must rectify as stated

4. Gel filled battery will suffice and resolve this issue

I know its a pain in the ass, however I dont hoon or drive dangerously and only take the car out rarely. I wasnt doing anything wrong on the day but I have to do as i have to do to keep it legal and on the road....................

Roll on buddy.................

As far as I know all fmic's except the ARC return flow need angle grinding of bar.

Even the justjap return flow does.

Unless you know of some that don't?

Also OP sucks your car got stickered.. chin up and get it off.. are they r32 gtr wheels on a 33? look sweet mate!

The rims are Enkeii raceline. Tyres are Toyo 245fr and 255rear.

Thanks for the positive reply, most guys have just said sucked in, thought I'd get a better reception being a Skyline owner and joining this forum.

But I spose what you expect and what you get are 2 different things hey.

Safe drifting buddy L8Rz

Im not suprised, my car got a yellow for only 1 reason - the lowest point on my car (my dump pipe) was 90mm off the ground, only 10mm off the legal limit

funny thing was, i gave way to him as he passed me at a round about and then later down the road, around 100m, he stopped at a bus top, waited for me to pass, and then sped up behind me, right up my ASS.. then sirens come on.. im thinking..... wat the f**k man, ur kidding me.....

then hes like, this is a random license and breathaliser check, im like bullshit! (in my head ofcourse) acted all nice and polite, and he still slapped on a yellow

some cops really have their priorities ALL WRONG, anyone who challenges me on this should be shot!

damn strait, Im hearing you buddy.......................

[Conniving Canary]

Can someone cast some light as to why cops in Perth have nothing better to do than pull over performance cars for the most piss weak reasons and continually harass the drivers of these cars for no apparent reason as well.

Long story short, was driving along in East Vic Park doing the speed limit and what do you know, a marked car goes past and instantly turns around to pull me over. Their excuse - my window tint was too dark, what a load of f**king bullshit!!

As I don't have to say anymore, they stickered my car.

I took it over the pits at Welshpool and as I expected they picked the shit out of it. Just some of the faults they reckon are -

1. Too low - need 100mm clearance, which it has but the exhaust can is a little lower by 15mm WTF?

2. No load rating stamped on the 255's on the rear

3. Front mount Intercooler installed and as a result I had to remove the front bumper support. The intercooler is like a structural member and much stronger than the piss weak piece of flat steel that it replaced.

4. No battery box for ventilation

If anyone knows of a mod or a bracket I can fit so I can keep my front mount Hybrid Intercooler would be great.

Ok enough whinging

If it has Tyres or Tits

Its gotta be FUN!!!
