...when you step out of your gts-t to a na r34 with a stock exhaust, but still make gate and bov noises as you drive which somehow makes the car "feel" quicker

...when you kick out the passenger to save 80kg to help win a race

...when you park 10mins away from a shop centre car park, which is only 5mins walk away from your house

or

...when you have no other choice and have to park in a shopping centre carpark, you do so next to a large pillar or wall, thus decreasing your chance of being hit by a opening door by 50%

You know you drive a Skyline when you mention one bad word about Holden you get a battalion of ex-Holden owners jumping in trying to stand up for Holden even though they know they would be outnumbered on a Skyline forum.

You know you drive a skyline when you've never heard it driven from any other point than the drivers seat.

... when you think 'yes, I could have pushed it harder thru that corner' even though the tyres were squeeling and you were on the wrong side of the road.

... when a sentance contains 'for the car' the other half just rolls her eyes and asks 'how much?'

... when other people just dont get it.

... when you take the time to explain to someone who is slightly interested in them, everything you possibly know.

... when washing the car is at least a 1/2 day event, even though it was quite clean to begin with.

... when, yeah, there could be less offset on the next set of rims, perhaps a bit wider too...

...when u pull up at the lights and some people waiting to cross circle their hands hoping u give it a bit of a rev and a burnout.

... when a simple mod takes 4 weeks to install and tune.

... when your mates own holdens and cant understand why u bother modding it. until they come for a ride.

....when u get shit from fags making sounds like ''psscchht" and u think to yourself, ''i would never swap my ride for their 1980 charade'' :)

... when u park between 2 posts in the carpark so no one can dint your ride

... when u always put your sunshade up to 'shield' interior mods.

...when u park nose in, as not to arouse suspicion hiding the fmic

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.

      The old approach was to fill the cylinder/chamber with a length of rope pushed in through the sparkplug hole. The new approach is to connect compressed air to the sparkplug hole and fill it with enough pressure to push the valves up. Doing either of these things with the head on and the engine in the car is a lot less pleasant than doing it properly.

      Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
