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:

      "CAD" version 1.0 It will have a 15mm lip around the top for 6 × 5 or 6mm nutserts and fixtures (two on each of the three straight edges), and some pinch weld on any exposed edges, it has three mounting points, one of the power steering reservoir bolts, and two on the rad support, my 120mm hole saw will make short work of hole for the silicone joiner, with ample room for some pinch weld  I've also got enough Carbuilders "peel and stick" heat shield to cover the outside of it at the coolant expansion tank and on the engine side, as pictured, and internally on the lid and where the fuse box is, I've also got some thin, about 3mm, black 3M single sided sticky foam stuff that was left over after sealing some door drafts at home to help seal the lid As for the shape, it "sort of" matches the shape of the fuse box, so shouldn't look to "out of place" The lower area and hole for the intake will need pinch weld with a balloon on it to fully seal the hole and bottom of it, that will happen after it has been fabricated so I know exactly what size is required  Filter service has been trialed,  and so far it was a simple process  Just need to get some alloy, and then head into work to use the guillotine and break press in the workshop Hopefully it should be sorted in a week or two Guestimated outlay will be under a $50 for the stuff I don't have on hand (alloy, 6mm nutserts, the pinch weld, and wrinkle paint) Disclaimer: That's what the "voices in my head" are telling me how the filter box should end up getting done......lets see if they know what they are talking about

      The Evolution Of "night Fury"

      Have been polishing up the trailer rims as they had been sitting in the shed for a few years and are really in need of some love. This was after a couple of passes with chrome polish - coming up quite well ✅ .

      Welcome aboard! Is your Skyline auto or manual? I'm assuming manual. Does it have any mods done yet?

      Another "where do these lines and plugs go" RB25DET question

      By Yeetus · Posted

      Hey mate, the brown and grey plugs would usually go to the TPS, brown one goes on the bottom connector and grey is the top but isn't used unless the car is auto, your TPS looks different to mine though I've got a series 2 engine.
