Haha yeah, I read lots of stuff about the Greddy radiators not taking the stock shroud so I was happy when this one did. Everything fitted up perfect, was great.

Coolant temps stick around 83 degrees while I'm driving now, definently keeping the thing cool

Just need some foam for around the top and in a few spots to keep the airflow through the radiator, but its minor shit really

yeah ive never had a problem with shrouds refitting.. I just broke mine lol. but that's good it all fits sweet. its a pain when it doesn't.

get some n1 slots. although depends bow big intercooler is, that will give some extra air through it

If anyone is interested I have a few things for sale

RB25DET head, complete internally with rocker covers and CAS bracket. Think it has VCT solenoid, if not I have a spare. Has leaking valve stem seal or needs seats cut so would suit a rebuild. Other then that it's in good condition

2 silicon reducers - 3" - 4" and 3" - 2.5"

Stock RB25DET exhaust manifold with heat shield

Just down the road at Freshwater Pt near Armstrongs Beach, just inherited a 4 door from my mate who passed away. Joined this forum cos i know f all about skylines but after driving the thing home from Bowen i can understand why you all love em. Will be slowly restoring it to its former glory as time and funds permit

welcome alan, its always a slow process mate, haha. but you will get there. ive had my gtr near on ten years now, motor was first thing to be done, and just last year was all the cosmetics. slowly tickering with things. most people will be able to help on this forum if you have any questions.

Thanks Jordan, first thing im doing is the body and then brakes/suspension. The performance in standard form is good enough for now but i have a feeling that once the body work and suspension are sorted i'll want some more ponies. I do have a few questions; Is there anyone you can recommend to supply and fit a body kit (doesnt seem to be many options for 4 doors) here in Mackay?? Are there any workshops that specialise in Skylines in Mackay?? And where would i start looking for things like chrome door trims (got one missing) and new headlights, grill badge etc, are there any wreckers who specialise in nissans??

if your on Facebook (or there may even be a website), search for Proximity Motorsport. Leon has been messing around with Skylines etc for years now.

As for the parts for your car, if your chasing them new, I can get some part numbers and see how much for genuine new replacements. You won't have too much luck with wreckers in Mackay, so you'll either have to go through one in Brisbane or further, or buy new.

If you want me to have a look, I just need your VIN number (the 6U900 or whatever number it is isn't important) and a good description and I can search for you.

Thanks Cal, i have checked out proximity on face book, was hoping to hear some positive reports before i spend my hard earned so cheers for that, i'll tell him you sent me. I'll have a good think about the genuine parts i would like to get and let you know. Do you work at Nissan? Can't tell you how much i appreciate your offer to help, thanks again.

I don't work at Nissan, but have access to their parts program and know the best place to get stuff from. When you have ordered as many genuine parts as me you soon work out the best way to get it lol, and it sure as hell isn't through Nissan Mackay

I think Mackay not having much money is half of it. Tune the car, make them happy - then to find out they never had the money to pay in the first place "I'll pay you in a few weeks".

Plus, facebook is bringing the idiots out. Everyone is an expert, no one has a clue..

    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
