I'll only sell with the right offer but other than that, I plan to keep it for a long time and after that, I'll leave it on the side of the road in punchbowl for people to steal. Insurance will do the rest ^^...........oops did I say that out loud?

I always see people on sau going, so sad to see my car go, i had to sell because I bought a house.

I could never do that.

The only time I could sell it would be to upgrade it. lol, I reckon if I bought an r34 gtr, or the new gtr coming out, I wouldn't think about my current car for more than 2 seconds. lol

>< I got a skline because I couldn't get a Supra...

well I wanted to get a Supra because I got brainwashed by fast and furious..

then 2fast2furious came out and they have this beauftifull blue undercar neon colour light...so

I decide to get a magna instead...

i was 18, i wanted a 300zx but was told by anyone in the know not to get one, so decided that maybe as a second choice an r33 skyline would do.

pretty much exactly the same as this dude lol. i orgionally wanted a 300zx... one of my good mates had one always thought it was awsome etc... till i helped him work on it. was like pfft f**k... that

and then, the love of skylines came about. bought one as my first car last yr. never looked back :(

uncle / aunty owned a stage1 s1 black with gtr badges / wing etc, soo fell in love with it even though twas auto, did move, when it came to buying was looking at what I could get for my price range leaning towards evo but couldnt afford 1 point blank... then noticed... hey t's arent that expensive... shit wait... 32r's arent either... after making heart braking decision that if i bought the r i couldnt afford it really so went the t, kind of wish i hadnt since hte t is sitting in my garage not being driven just as much... frigin SDRO !! *shakes fist*

anywho luvs my manual s2 active lsd model for what she is, pure bliss, screw bling factor though its nice, its all about the cornering baby....

I wanted a 300ZX to begin with but after doing a bit of research (and seeing a couple get towed into work) I changed my mind and started test driving the gts-t's. The first drive was enough to convince me but it took a few more to find the one I wanted.

Amazing how many of my friends have converted after being taken for a spin.

At least 3 are looking at skylines for their next car as a result of my 'demonstrations'.

Always loved the shape of them since i was about 15. Loved the look of all the models but really took a liking to the 33. Drove my mates 33 6 years later and had to get get one for myself. Sold my celica quicksmart! Rwd, heaps of power, tough looks, awesome induction and exaust note just has to have one. So went out and got myself a newly imported silver s2 :laugh:

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
