earlier today i was at the lights on magil rd turning right onto payneham rd when a maroon r33 came around the corner. As it saw me it hit the gas and ran straight up the backside of a stationary commodore that was in the right lane to turn right. I couldnt see how much damage was down but once both drivers got out of their respective cars the owner of the commodore looked very pissed off and rightly so. Now if i told you that i had never tried to 'show off' in my car, especially to a fellow skyline driver i would be lying however this is just plain stupidity and gives us all a bad name, especially in this case seeing the traffic was very congested due to the norwood food and wine festival only a few hundred metres away. If the owner of the skyline reads this im not trying to have a go at you mate, this could have well happened to anyone and we all have lapses in concentration from time to time but i think with a little bit of common sense incidents like this can be avoided. Anyways thats my story :P

wasnt me... but if that person wants to offload any maroon bodykit items from the crashed line (ie rear bumper and after some 400R side skerts) id be willing to take them off their hands.

Ugly colour -- what the -- its closer to red than most other colours.. so that means it goes faster!!!

Why is there so much aggression between fellow skyliners, ive read some posts that are less than friendly. Were all ment to be enthusiests, just some people have different oppinions.

My opinion is that i was not a very sensible driver as a youngster but since i have grown and matured so has my driving. Now when a fellow driver tries to drag me from the lights i just ignore and watch them blow away knowing that more often than not there one corner away from being caught. In saying that not all older people are mature, i had some idiot the other day the pulled a handbrakie right infront of me on a crowded road and took of in the other direction only to pull over about 300m up the road. The stupid thing about it though was that he was not alone, there were to girls with him so he is not only endangering his own life but others aswell. Some people really need to learn the hard way, and unlucky for this driver he did perhaps he will thinik about it before he tries it again.

well said hr32.

actions talk, bullshit walks.

thats one thing that f**ks me off on this site. People preach about driving sensible(which is the good thing to do). Im sure they do some dumb shit through the week and refrain from posting it on this site dont they? They just fill in time pretending to be noble and responsible and write someone else off!

get a life idiots!

Mate i do some dumb shit yeh......BUT i don't go and post it up on here, so yeh i do refrain for posting it up here because i don't think everyone needs to know the stupid shite i do!

If you have been written off by someone for something stupid that you have done/posted, then it's probably your own fault, most people on here just wanna keep it sensible so others that look on here can't give US or ME or YOU or any other import/worked car a BADDER name than we already have!

They make for some great Beery Pub stories, but!

Fact is this - Every driver out there on the road is unsafe at some point in time whilst driving and 'in control' of their vehicle,

      Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.

      Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
