I've got a black 33 S1. Pretty much stock at the moment, so if you see me around, don't forget to wave or something.

Most skylines that i see don't pay any attention to other skylines. I've only met 2 on the road to either gave me a little wave, or had a quick chat.

Really? Almost all other Skyline (and 180, etc) drivers always sneek a peek at my car when I drive past, and mine pretty stock looking (and I do the same, of course).

Whenever I can I try to take the opportunity to check out other peoples cars and have a chat - always fun.

Oh yeah, and I'm in the SE suburbs, and have noticed in the last 4 years more and more Skylines around. They've certainly come a long way from my dream car in Gran Turismo on the PSX! The more skylines out there the better I think - more spare parts! :uh-huh:

I get more other cars having a look. Most of them look at my wheels first and then give the once over the rest of the car. It is just skylines that don't pay too much attention to me.

But then again, I'm normally paying more attention to the road compared to checking if they are having a look. But if a line passes me, I've gotta check out what they have and if i should do that to my car.

I live near Hampton Park and it's funny - I always see all these Skylines with 40+ Indian mothers driving them around! It's a real crack up, especially the ones with venting BOV's :D. I go to drag them then realise who is driving it! Mum doing the shopping!

A few years ago many younger Indian (appearance) guys used to make a quick $ or two importing Skylines and selling them around my area, obvoiusly got stuck with a few and kept them as the family car! (hehehe just like when I was a kid on a fundraising chocolate drive - just sold them all to my family).

      Might import a stagea

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.

      Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Duncan · Posted

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
