hi guys and gals

One of the biggest question I had prior to buying a Skyline was will we fit with 2 kids? (1yo and 4yo) Searching the Net was impossible for pics ....

Im no bigfoot (only 6ft) and dont really sit up straight whilst driving but as you can clearly see, my little girl and boy has plenty of room :huh:

Here's some pics proving that you can comfortably fit 2 kids in the back of the GTR :laugh: for your Mrs :(

The only whinge I have is that you really need to have enough room to open the door at least half way to get your kids in and out of it. BUT having the GTR outweighs any inconvenience I have at the moment :happy:

cheers

Jeff

ps. boot space is no probs either...Ill post a pic up later after its filled with the weekly groceries

u might have a lil problem with the 32 though as the rear has less room :laugh:

plus u'll have the seat facing the other way for 6mths or so which will definitely not fit

just tell her to sit in the back (behind you) to watch the baby and have the passenger seat all the way up the front....thatll do the trick :huh:

that will the trick or will just keep her satria gti as well and not sell it

R34GTX.... if I cant get the real thing I may as well get a Forester XT

Howie... hahaha....show her these new pics. let me know what she comes back with. I have time to take some more photos for ya ... hahaha

gun32gtr.... already told her if we need the 2nd car, she can keep this and I get a 32 :woot: just waiting for that Lotto win now :yes:

hahah... nice work with the pram and shopping.

We love the boot space of the skyline, it's heaps better than my last car. I've moved out my spare tyre and have a fiberglass sub box sitting in the wheel well, that way i can sorta do stuff like that.

If she complains about the doors then just convince her on a RB26 Stagea

How do you guys go with moving and flipping the seats forward? I find that in my R33 there isn't much room to access the back easily even with the seats fully forward and flipped. It's probably not so hard with the little ones but when you got 2 adults trying to squeeze back in there it can get plain annoying (for them anyway). No problem getting the doggies back there though, although they do prefer to ride shotgun.

R33 has decent boot space. We managed to fit 5 25kg bags of rice (125kg of rice in total) in there.

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
