It's official.

My Skyline, formerly known as MUD76, is now in new hands.

She served me well for 5 long years, but times change and it was no longer practical for me.

I have had my heart set on a V35 for ages but I will hold off on a car for a while (will use money to invest in a couple of short term projects).

I will continue to MOD and be a as active as I can with SAU QLD in the short term.

In the mid - long term I will look to pass on the Mod battern, so I'll keep my eye out and make a recomendation to admins when I've had enough and decide to leave.

(I told myself I wouldn't cry)

Cheers

M

Yeah the market sucks atm...

But thats only cause the AUD is very strong against the Greenback atm...

Give it a few months and the price of imports will rise again a solid 15%...

I think ill hang onto mine until the US dollar re-gains strength...

What a load of shit!

How does the US dollar effect the price of cars that are already in the country?

Actually how does it effect the price of cars coming from Japan either?

If anything, a strong $AU makes things cheaper from overseas.

Back on topic :pirate:

I felt I got a reasonable price and a pretty quick sale.

Stronger $AU means cheaper importation which means cheaper prices on resale from both the cars coming in and the cars already here.

However, the primary problem with import resale is basic supply and demand. There were so many skylines and like vehicles imported pre the 89 ruling that they are now effectively a dime a dozen and nothing will change that. The price will level, but not rise and once they get older it will just continue to fall. Not to mention with the new P plate laws, the price will continue to fall as the next generation of teenagers realise they can't buy a skyline which, like it or not, accounts for much or at least some of the skyline market. Unfortunately for sellers the days of 20k r33's are well and truly gone, good for buyers though.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By sonicii · Posted

      How much have you lowered?  I had 350Z springs in the rear and was able to pull the camber into factory spec with the factory arms on the rear, obviously the front ran negative camber as it isn't adjustable, but rotating the wheels regularly evened out the wear.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Either the installer needs to come back, you need an auto electrician, or you need to learn automotive electricals yourself.   First step Id look at is where that big thing came out of, is there still things unplugged at that location? Maybe they just forgot to put a relay in or something?

      Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.

      gauge needle removal

      By Jarsky · Posted

      I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want.

      R33 GTST Axles

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.
