Very nice and clean has an aggressive look to it but I have to recommend Car Toys to clean up the headlights, get rid of that 33 foggy headlight thing

Congrats on the purchase and Hi Tech dyno is a quality workshop John really knows skylines and how to treat them good luck with it

Thanks for the comments guys :3some:

Madaz: I'm very aware it's defectable, but fingers crossed as I try to stay out of trouble :spank:

TuffR32: Any idea for Car toys to do the headlight clean?

Hey lads, I don't know if your aware but there is a cleaning product out there from Maguires called "Plastic Polish"........ This product works really well, I have some if you really want to borrow it!!! i'd hate to think how much Car Toys is slugging you for prob a similar treatment.......LOL

Heard a story once about this 33 owner that went into a wrecker who had some clean as headlights, this person wanted to buy them because his were foggy!!! The wrecker said yeh no worries, give us yours and $300 and they are yours............ The wrecker guy turned around and started polishing the foggy ones......... 5-10 min later he puts them on the shelf for the same price as the good ones......LOL I found that to be rather amusing!

um this is the oldest thing with a skyline along with the clicking from the a/c lol. You can use tooth paste, i use brasso, also i think cut and polish works.......

I don't know about you dan but my air con dont click... must be a s1 owner common thing?

It's more like that, and the f**ken power windows.

Nah your just one of the lucky few....check out general maintenance or diy and search a/c you will learn lol

WOW I no the guy you bought it off, im a good friend of his. This is an exellent car that you have got, he took me for a drive a month ago and its great i wish i had it.

Have fun with it :-) Can i ask how much you paid for it in the end????

cheerz

Evans32: Yeah it was Simon I bought it off. Good guy, made the sale pretty easy. Price is between me and Simon, if he chooses to tell you, its up to him >_<

Tim: Absolutely! Im not sure when but we'll need to get together.

Haha, no I dont think I paid too much. I dont think I got a bargain either, I believe I just paid market price. ahh to hell with it.

$15k even is what I paid. I was happy with the price with what the car came with. I could've imported one for cheaper, but felt more comfortable buying locally.

yeah i think its a great price ive had mine little over 15 months and paid 21.5k with only pod front mount and some ghey manual boost controler with ive taken out for a turbotech one

ive just bought coilovers now will install them on sat. morning.

mine is the same year as yours but had about 123,000Km on the clock

so all in all i think you've found a good but because apart from new turbo you've pretty much got it all

    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
