Hi All, So after a very long time away from Skylines and the club I have recently re-joined/newed my membership. The last time I was a member was back in 2006/2007 during the early RB30DET building days (page 2 of the dyno results). Well back then I was younger and much more willing to let my impatience get in the way with a willingness to do things on the cheap. This ended up with a RB30DET that ran, but no where near the potential I desired. An extreme lack of budget was the deciding factor on modifications, maintenance and fuel. So 10 years on I got married, completed some higher education (yet for some unknown masochistic reason I'm still doing this) and settled into a career. Since 2008 the old R33 has predominately sat waiting for me to return to it. I imported the car from Japan when I was 18 and knew it was never going to be sold despite some offers over the years. It has been started a few times here and there but mostly neglected. For a few years I suppressed my car related desires with various "car" hobbies such as RC car racing, small event photography and large portions of iRacing (online simulated racing - Very good actually especially in a sim rig). These have not provided enough and my wife even noticed the change in my demeanor and said to me "your not going to get rid of it so do what you want with it". Thus began the restoration plan I have prepared most of what I can think of in an excel document with links to online stores and 95% of it is actual pricing rather than some unrealistic expectation of this being a cheap process. If anybody would be interested I have shared this and would appreciate feedback. A whole lot has changed since back then and I have fully abused the search feature to construct the proposed build. The goal ultimately is to build "my supercar". Currently getting around in my Focus XR5 that I just love, a great car that is not outstanding at any one thing but just heaps of fun in most. I hope to attend a few club events with it. Goal is for a 600HP street car, but I will be very happy with anything 500+. A weekend toy set up with reliable/proven parts and able to be taken to any style of event for some fun. Not in a rush in anyway what so ever, currently thinking this will be a 2 year build. I have lots of other ideas but I hate to think how bored you may be now reading this. Thank you for reading and I hope to hear your feedback. Cheers Skyline1.xlsx

Hi All, I'm looking for a return flow type inter cooler kit for my r34. Preferably in Melb. Please PM if you want to sell yours! Thanks.

Hi Has anyone seen this before, its a R33 GTR. It looks like it has been done on purpose, rectangle dent in it. If so why? I think it is a return water pipe, its at the back of the engine.
