    Posted

    Forgot to flick the half lower switch and SNAP! great.

    did a search on this and the results wernt very helpful.

    How much am i looking at for a new aerial installed and were on earth am i gonna find one, this must have happened to someone else. I live in Sydney around the Northen Beaches so if any 1 knows a place around there that can sort this out. Would be GREAT!

    i bought a 95 r33 gtst

    my mate bought a 96 180sx

    he has regretted not buying a skyline so badly, 4 cylender sux hard YOU have nothing untill turbo comes on.

    Skyline dominates it in torq. up hills 180 never has a chance.

    and my mate still hasnt beaten me in a drag. 6 nill.

    Skyline looks better + 4 std weels r gay limeted options if u wanna put mags on and that.

    Skyline has much better street presence.

    o also sound heaps btter!

    i think 180's are crap. just my opnions

    Today i was pulled over in Mosman and defected for my exaust. The cop was an absolute prick! iv been pulled over so manny times and i have a perfect record no cop has ever said anythign about my exaust or anything.

    This dood though i was sus because i was quote "avoiding him in the back streets" i told him this was the way home... idiot

    anyways he tells me that "Anything that isnt stock is illegal......" ummmm Im pritty sure this is bullshit. Can some 1 help me out here ?

    so that means that the 2 skylines and the lancer that passed me when i was pulled over are all gonna get defected......

    The exaust is just your typical Skyline canon 3 inch from the turbo back not overly loud im pritty sure it will be under 90 decibals.. i told him that it would be legal n he told me not to step in the fire.......... what a poof!

    He said its a $125 fine for just having it on my car.... and im gonna have to go get it tested by some 1 when i get the defect notice...

    this DOES not seem right.. Can some 1 shed some light on whats happened.

    Im going to challenge the fine. thanks.

    i Bought my R33 M-spec (1995) for $17 750 with 71 000 km in absolutly immaculate condition and 2 years warrenty! (private seller). Came with a beautiful 3 inch turbo back exaust, K&N pod filter and boost guage. No Massive Mods.

    so that would leave u just about enough to put some nice 18's with good tred or a FMIC (rember stock width is usually 205mm, pin dick if your gonna put the boost up). Save up for Eboost and pump that boost up to 12 and wax thoes 180s :D:)

    But yeah u get the idea of prices from every 1.

    **** the dealers.

    I did some recearch when looking for my Skyline.

    Called my uncle who knows a bloke in tamworth who sells them at a dealership. Asked if there is anything too look out for. He said Skylines are quite sound cars with no major problem to look out for... Basicially stay away from heavely modded 1's that u think have been thrashed or drifted on dirt tracks ect.

    Bit of a quick checklist

    rust

    compliance date

    reason for selling

    has it got service record in aus

    is the body straight

    any crash history

    tyre condition

    scrtches on paintwork

    seat ware

    proof that km are genuin

    weel shaking

    tampering with dash skrews(puting back km's)

    km numbers arnt alined

    air bubbles in water

    stained dip stick

    put your hand over the muffler see if it stalls ( back pressure )

    power steering leeks highpressure leeks from the steering box

    windscreen chips

    smooth gearbox change

    wine noise in geerbox

    shoks push down if they bounce they r stuffed

    weel alighnment

    normal oil pressure

    Hears a more detailed checklist:

    Examine in daytime

    Examine in clear weather

    Check for nicks and scratches

    Check for thin, worn paint

    Check for big defects (costly) and not minor repairs

    General look around the outside of the car.

    Examine both sides of the car from a distance (both front and back).

    Look for ripples, waves, poorly fitted panels and mismatched colors.

    Look for dents or rust around the bottom of the doors and fenders.

    Check for bubbles along molding or chrome (indicates rust underneath).

    Look under the vehicle for rust

    Check for welding spots on the frame (serious accident or repairs).

    Open and close the doors, hood, trunk or hatchback.

    Stand back approximately 10 to 15 feet from the car and see if the car is level.

    Check the shocks by pushing down on each corner of the car and letting go.

    Check the tires (sidewall cracks, uneven tire wear, brake fluid leakage)

    Look under the car for:

    oil spots, or

    transmission fluid or

    power steering fluid or

    shock absorber fluid.

    Open the hood and check belts and hoses for cracks or wear.

    Radiator coolant should be a clean, greenish (or blue or yellow) color.

    Pull out the oil dipstick. Oil should not be gummy or grayish or smell burnt.

    Check automatic transmission fluid, should be clear and reddish.

    Check the fluid level in the master cylinder as well.

    Look inside the trunk for an inflated spare tire, a jack and a lug wrench.

    Back

    Interior Checklist

    Check the mileage

    Compare mileage on service stickers (door jamb/under hood) to the odometer reading.

    Check the condition of the seats, belts and carpeting.

    Check the windows to see if they open and close easily.

    Check the brake, accelerator and clutch -- should work smoothly, no strange noises.

    Check all exterior lights and flashers on the car

    Start the engine and check the warning lights and gauges

    Make certain that the air conditioning blows very cold air.

    Check the glove box for the owner's manual.

    Do not be afraid to take up the salespersons' time.

    Stay in control

    Do not let anyone talk you into buying a vehicle you do not want.

    Back

    Test Drive Checklist

    Drive the car on hills, highways and in stop-and-go traffic.

    Start the engine and press down on the brake.

    Listen for noises which could indicate engine problems.

    Put the car in neutral and rev the engine. Check for smoke from rear exhaust.

    Punch the gas pedal. Does engine respond without hesitation then return to normal?

    Check the lights on the control panels--be sure they all work.

    Does automatic transmission shift smoothly?

    Manual transmission should shift smoothly between gears without grinding.

    Clutch should engage and disengage smoothly without grabbing

    Drive in reverse

    Does car pull or vibrate when driving on a flat, smooth road?

    Do the brakes grab evenly and does the car slow down in a straight line?

    Drive at 35 miles per hour and listen for any unusual noises.

    Accelerate to 45 miles per hour, does the front end shake or vibrate?

    Drive quickly over a rough road and listen for any loud squeaks or rattles.

    Does the car bounce or bang over small bumps?

    Check the temperature gauge to see if it shows a high reading

    Accelerate hard on an empty road, does the car respond immediately?

    Try it again.

    Accelerate on a hill, does the car respond immediately?

    Cut off the engine. Then restart the engine -- does it restart easily?

    Check for leaks under the hood and beneath the car.

    Check the tailpipe. Are there any black, sooty oil deposits?

    Does the odometer mileage seem to match the physical condition of the car?

    Check odometer for scratches, misaligned digits, digits that stick.

    Or get a mechanical inspection if u got the cash.

    Rims, mags, wheels same thing

    Hey Fellas.

    Hopefully some 1 here will b able to help me out with these minor annoyances.

    (you know this little things that annoy the hell out of u but u cant b bothered to look in to them to much)

    i own a 1995 r33 with 72 000kms

    First off tonight i was driving home and my stering weel started making a clicking noise when i turned it, it also made slight rattles when i went over bumps. The car still handles fine but its getting really annoying, could this be a loose skrew it sounds like something inside under the horn pusher thingo its hard to explain sorry, i would get a new steering weel but its got an air bag. any suggestions what this might be, and how to fix it ?

    Secondly my turbo timer decides sometimes not to run for the full 60 secs or not to run at all this dosnt happen too often but it been happening more lately, also sometimes it turns off when i push my alarm button to lock the car... wtf ??

    Finnaly: i think this is a sincro mesh problem but my gear box crunches when i go into 2nd, as the oil warms up it dosnt do it as much and if you are gentle with it sometimes it dosnt do it at all. Does this sound like sincro or a totaly ****ed gearbox ?

    Any feedback on these problems would be sweet, i cant sleep at night :cheers: knowing my friggin steering weel ***en clicks when i turn it. Sorry im obcessed

    I know running away from the policezo aint a cool thingo but i though this was quite an entertaining story.

    i was heading home with a mate after a big 18th at whale beach. Driving down spit hill towards the city. i saw a white R34 GTR i was like Sweet man check out the 34 such a mad car. we were kinda driving next to it gazing at it as we were going down the hill.

    We were in a white v8 Vk holden with the body kit and decals everywere kinda a cop magnet. This cop car was signeling to pull us over (behind us) then the cop car must have seen the GTR and decided to change lanes and pull the GTR over. The dood saw the cop car change lanes and head for him. He switched his lights off and F***KEN BLASTED!!!!!! so hard just burnt the cop car (not a highway patrol...i dont htink) and he headed up the left side of spit hill the side with no speeding cameras... fairly entertaining very exciting.

    i wonder how often this kinda thing happens. Any 1 got similar storys... ? i love this sort of stuff.

    but speeding is bad and cops are tops ;) *cough*
