Yeah I bought a non-turbo once.... never again lol. I regretted it, the feel of boost is sure something I wont get over. Plus after getting my car I went to the toilet and instantly noticed how much bigger my penis had become...

mate, just bite the bullet ditch that lancer and buy a skyline!! ive had my s2 33 for bout 4 months and i love it, the power the way it looks and just how u can hammer it and hammer it and it just wont break, yer sure they require a bit more attension like servicing etc, but once u sit in it and boost away from the lights ul completely forget about the loan or money u have to spend cause ur havin the time of ur life in the best car eva made!!! cheers

I'm a full time student and only work part time, I've had to fix up a lot of things in the last 6 months or so, but i guess you can expect that from an older import. Either way I have managed to up-keep my car pretty well. Apart from expensive fuel, maintenance isn't usually too bad, esp. if you can manage your own minor services every 5000km. The only things I hate are tyres and insurance, I have 18's on my car so a full tyre set (235/40's) cost me around $1k and comprehensive insurance costs $2.7k per yr upfront. If something goes bust you can either hit a wrecker or order from japan - doesn't take too long and a cheaper option most of the time in comparison to genuine nissan parts. I love my car and can guarantee you'll have a ball if you buy one :domokun:

I have a Skyline.. my 1st Car ever... n got it once i got my 1st Full Time Job.., i went for my Manual license.. which i drove an Auto for 3 years plus. As soon as i passed my Manuals.. i went n got da BEAST..., It's one heck of a ride. Gettin used to the power, scene, modding and u know stuff that happens on the street ;-) chop chop chop hehehe...

I have so many plans it's endless... i move from one hobby to another... and now it's the skyline. As long as ur living ur Passion in Life is all that matters... cuz u never know wat tommorrow will bring..., Nike couldn't make it any simplier wif there slogan "JUST DO IT" hehehe

      Returning after a long time!

      That's awesome. Fully serviced/full log book history for one of those cars is super rare from what I know. With JDM's like Skyline's, Supras, are quite hard to find one with full log book history. S15's seem to be somewhat of an exception, at least the spec s australian delivered models.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      Hey all, It's been a bit since I have been able to update.  I pulled the fuel pump, first off it was a "universal" pump and the strainer was very clogged, and it was folded over on itself.  I replaced the fuel pump and all is well....  No more stalling.

      That's convinced me I'll bump up the G30-660 to 770   Any idea if the difference in boost pressure? Cheers

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Hey guys so turns out this project is going to be much bigger than I thought haha but I've done some my homework and have done a few panels on my car, but one part I can just not visualise is this. If I do a spot repair and I put filler in a dent for example and sand outside of the repair with 320 grit lets say so the primer can stick as I will only put primer on that repair and the surrounding area and then repaint the whole panel. Don't I need to make sure that I don't put primer on the old clear coat? I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down, it's still shiny. I thought putting paint on clearcoat or primer on clearcoat is a bad idea because it won't stick. So in this scenario it's a bit different to mine but imagine someone doing a spot repair and only painting that small section of repair but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat. What am I missing?
