a quick summary of what i have had to do to my car over the last 3 months that i owned it - timing and other belts, waterpump, rear light. Apart from the waterpump (which was covered by warranty), i had to pay for the rest - came to a total of nearly $300 (mind you the lights i ordered from japan through the dealer). Then there is the petrol - ultimate @ $1.50 a ltr (usually about 30 ltrs). Next there is going to be my exhaust, turbotimer upgrade and 5000klm service - well thats gonna be inexcess of 1600 easily. - coming to a grand total of - almost 2000 in 3 months...

Just adding - if i knew i couldnt pay for that, i woudl have just stuck with something that is not a turbo or an import....just my 2 cents

yeh which gets back to the fkn point i made at the start. your not the king of the fkn website your one little person in it. start making your own posts and talk in them rather than fkn worrying about what everyone else does your dickhead! do you think your like the Big Brother of fkn SAU or somthing.

Have a look at this shit:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...c=114042&st=220

Honda Integra or Skyline? you got pwned bruss! prove you got a skyline/integra or whatever and take a photo of you next to it holding a sign saying "Hey bruss! SAU Bruss!"

oh yeah, skylines arent generally that cheap to maintain. They eat your fuel too. I hope that answers your question. LOL!!!

Dude chill the f**k out, shit costs money but if the car has been maintained well logically you shouldn't have as many problems. Keep posting shit like you are at the moment it won't be long before your banned from here.

dude sorry but im just sick of faggots on here think their big brother or somthing. ohh wow i ask a few questions about cars get the fk over it its what the car forum is for. sorry my WHOLE life isnt cars. id hate to see what their girl friends looked like

well arnt your a tank poombah speaking on behalf of everyone on SAU. if noone cars then why does everyone keep talking in my posts. instead of sitting there like a fat shit why dont you start a constructive post of your own. mabey you should stick with the civic. it obviously suits your personality more. also my topics are no different to anyone elses. WTF IS YOU PROBLEM?

I have started constructive posts of my own Newbie, I no longer need to ask questions as I have gained a fair knowledge of my car from the *useful* posts that are started here

I'd tell you what my problem is but everyone else has pretty much already said what I think aswell.

& Judging by the majority of posts on your thread, people keep talking in your posts to bag you out

Loser.

just searched you then buddy and looks like most of your posts are in the wasteland! mabey you should stay there and stop worry about whats going on in the real areas of the website until you have somthing constructive to say!

Seriously tho it aint cheap since ive owned mine these are a few of the things ive done:

Waterpump replaced

Steering rack replaced

Coil Packs Replaced

100k Service

Tired Shocks/Springs replaced with coilovers

Turbo Timer

Intercooler

Numerous 5000km services

Climate control unit (yet to be replaced)

Electronic boost controller

They are sports cars and need to be treated as such, If you drive them hard then you must be prepared to service them often and fix bits and pieces when they die thats just the way it is. All in all good fun but can be pricey be prepared.

Edit: and dude relax

thanks for the 2 cents TOF.......another big brother cantidate right there

I'm probably contributing to this site becoming NS by this post but seriously what are you trying to achieve from your pointless topics?

BTW what is your next topic? How often do you wash your car? How often do you change gears? How often do you switch on your headlights? How often do you turn on your radio? First car, which should I get Civic or GTR? Already own Skyline, how to start car?

Sorry mods for this post, but magpies topics are really cluttering up normal areas of SAU and it's getting on my nerves. :)

EDIT: I'll contribute, I've had many problems when I bought my Skyline but that's because it was very cheap. The whole car has probably been replaced but nothing has broken yet! Damn cars stealing your money :wave:

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 馃槀 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
