Well today I take the first step on my road to skyline performance. In about 30 mins I will be sitting on a train for about 2 hours on my way to collect the divine fine line. Am I keen, bet your sweet arse I am. over 20 years I have waited for this. I will see some of you on the spit cruise tomorrow. WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO :)

he means it too

voted new car day = best day ever

I still remember mine. Getting the car registered, from slacks creek to mc greggor department of transport in 5 mins before they closed for the day. And getting pulled over by a cop in the cbd, then ordered to leave or he would defect me. Was a memorable new car day for me.

I disagree... New car day is great dont get me wrong...

Its extra special is its your first skyline or turbo, like popping your cherry... :D

But id have to say you first dyno tune after modifying your car is better, you get to drive the car with heaps more power... :)

^^^^^That is me today^^^^^ Hence why im so happy... :D

Im sure shane will back me up, once he gets the GTR back on the road and tuned he will be hapier than the day he bought the car...

Hopefully that will be me soon, Its time for a new car and I have been looking at R32 Skylines for a number of years of now. If my personal loan gets approved I will take it for a test drive next week. Never driven a turbo car or a skyline but have always dreamed of it.

Mine was great, the 323 I had was dying very slowly, then the weekend before new car day it died, I was able to revive it by ejecting all the water in no3 but it never ran quite as well as it sickly did before, and to step into sheer luxury, compared to a 323, was just the best day ever.

When i picked mine up i was stoked.. I kinda missed my old car though.. My old silvia i had spent over 15,000 on it..

But i got in the skyline... paid for it in p.h.a.t cash and then drove away..

I think the first thing the hit me was

"ahhh yeah.....!!!! theres room in this badboy"

6'2 and squeezing into a silvia everyday kinda sucked.. especially since i had the sunroof option too.

oh.. and putting the foot down was good too.. but more to the point i like the rooooooom in the car ;)

lol the performance can come later... but hey... i own a skyline lah lah lah lah lah

Orright WTF am I missin here. Piscofreakin WHAT! is this some kinda secret skyline handshake deal or somethin.

Interesting day. Took the sons for a blast, then their mates, then their mates mothers and fathers. I think I shoulda got a 4 door.

Then proceeded out to qld raceway for the sprint day. Caught up with Zenon and watched him run some really smooth laps. Very impressive zenon.

Next stop was willowbank strip for the evening test and tune session, (spectating only) Watched a fearsome sub 9 second line. Man that thing just rox. I grew up on the sound of hot v8s and they are impressive but nothing can prepare you for the sound of a line at these specs. Its just audio armageddon. Would give my left one to see that other one that ran the 7.6 second pass recently.

All in all a great first day in the fine line. Looking forward to tomorrow. :happy:

    • Looking at the photos, you could easily just drop this pipe and dump into atmosphere  Just 1 or 2 quick hits for data acquisition - if have a heat shield material and/or sheet metal, maybe just use wire/metal cable ties and attach it in a way to deflect heat from melting nearby wires.

    • Yes, well, keep in mind that the air is intake air, which equal boost + possible oil. If there is a fine deposition of oil/scunge that then gets hot and carbonises, it could look just like that. Probably shouldn't be leaking. Might just be normal for that product. Hard to know if it is relevant.
    • Wrapped up putting the motor back in today. I have a stainless flex turbo drain pipe like you see on cummins and that funny enough PRP started selling. I generally prefer these but sadly they come with a finite amount of times they can be bent before they snap. Took well over a week for a replacement to arrive.  I was able to prime the pump but I will more then likely wait until next friday to take it on its madden voyage. I also installed the nozzles for my direct port WMI setup but plugged the nozzle holders for now. I'll tube it with Swagelok SS tubing and fittings next chance I get. No rush, i'll be breaking it for a week or two anyways. 
    • I could definitely do some logs without the VCT enabled for sure. I believe we tried it on the dyno and it still spiked but wouldn't hurt to try again and have the logs    I might be able to use some metal cable ties and hold the gate open entirely, I'd need to see about that one.   What do we think about these marks on the cap of the actuator? This is where the two parts push together where the diaphragm spring is. To me they look like air has been sleeping past?? Specifically talking about those black stains above the lower rim/lip. They can be rubbed away as if it's just an exhaust stain.
