hey guys....

well i have been signed up here for a while now but i am always too busy to find a computer. i am 15 years old and pretty soon i will be able to go for my learners. i have worked for a damn long time in various jobs around my town gilgandra (think dubbo) and my parents have agreed to split the cost with me... so far i have around 5-6 thousand dollars saved up and i have had my mind set on a skyline for a long time because i love the way they look and sound, not to mention that there are no other 'lines that i know of around where i live.

anyway, back to the point... i am a complete N00b at this sort of stuff (i know a bit about car engines and such) and i would like to know if theres a sort of introductory 'guide' to modding a car and what to buy and where to find the best prices, what sort of skyline/engine you all recommend and the like. it would be a great help. thanks

p.s sorry about the long post.

    • Yes, I had ordered the spherical bushings at the same time as the rest. I have high hopes for the anti squat reduction kit. 
    • Make sure you use the spherical bushes** on the lower arms, ifyou do that. ** at least, if not the whole replacement lower arm.
    • The tap for coolant flow control will be stuck open. It's not just the air door motor that dies.
    • Not really, but the heater box is pretty simple mechanically....if the door is one way the air bypasses the heater core and if it is the other way it goes through it for warm air.  If you are sure the actuator you moved manually is for the heater mix (there would also be one for output air direction) then I'd take the heater box out and see what is happening (you'll have to regass and re-coolant the systems afterwards) BTW pp724 onwards from the GTR workshop manual cover the system in good detail, it is probably worth checking. I think the IAT sensor might be a problem electrically for getting cold (if you got 24 error code not -24 it thinks the incoming air is -50c) and it covers how to test the sensor (although most likely it is either not plugged in or a wire is damaged)
    • Use the GKTech subframe bush and bring your subframe 10mm closer to the chassis. You'll need to fix an exhaust hanger to suit. One of the best mods I've done.
