For some reason, I've always wondered how many Skylines have been privately imported into Australia, but never really had a clue. Given that one of my workmates actually asked me this question this morning during one of our 'water cooler' meetings, I thought I'd try and find out...

Would anyone have a ballpark figure (possibly by model)???

Just count the number of shops allowed to comply each model on the DOTARS website then multiply by 100 per year.

Last count I think every Skyline ever built had been exported to australia.

there are exactly 256,439 cars excluding half cuts or 341,692 including half cuts based on data i made up on 15/5/06

Talk about precision! Thanks! :dry:

Just wanted to ask, is that number for Skylines only? Or private imports in general?

Either way, that's a huge number of cars...I was thinking perhaps 20,000 Skylines, but it seems like I was way off :(

sleep better now?

Yes, much better now :angry:

um... only one person realised that i made this up because the question has an answer that can never be given?

Thanks for the insight... :P

There was never any mention of getting an exact figure - just interested in a ballpark estimate.

Call it curiosity :D

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
