welcome Slayer. I hope you find the info' you need on here! Friendship seems to come along with owning a Skyline,so get used to waving to feloow Nissan owners. When it comes time to get serious about trackwork,there's a few of us on here with some tips. Frink is one to talk to;33 owner,and CAN steer a car to a fast lap or ten!

Hi guys. thanks for all the welcome messages. Havent been on for a week or so as flat out with work and was sick.

in response to all the comments i'll try to answer all here.

firstly, the wombat accident in my crx. I was lucky in that i swerved the wombat, but i ended up on gravel and it was all over from there. the car slammed into an embankment on cotter road, and spun around slamming into the embankment again. front bar was missing, engine mounts broken, oil everywhere, exhaust damaged, doors not opening smoothly, all 4 tyres off the rims (loved those tyres - Ventus k104s) and back left half axel was bent/snapped... wasnt fun.

i'm used to having people with the same car as me just stopping to have a chat or flagging me over as the crx community is very small and close-knit, so i am glad to hear that skyline people have the same attitude - makes the car scene so much more enjoyable and social.

for street use i would like 18s probably, but don't want heavy wheels for track days so i'll keep stock rims for that i guess and put some sort of slicks (semis) on them. I love the final konnexion kit, but the fact it is for the series 1 makes me question if it will fit my s2???

tinting, wheels and kit will be the extent of the visual stuff... after that i want power as mine feels slow now i'm used to it

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
