Hey past fellow skyliners,

I havent heard anything about my old baby for a long time and wondering how it is. I cant find matt's number to give him a

call so I wouldn't have a clue. I think his name was Smooth33???

Anyone selling a REALLY cheap 33 lol I miss my car so much!!! :domokun::(:w00t:

How is leech, frink and bullet 32 going. Haven't talked to you guys for ages too. Hope the cars are treating you well :w00t:

Sigh, just hope it's not like my old skyline! It looks like sh*t now! I saw it recently in Turner and it's gone way down hill. The bonnet has been replaced with what looks like a carbon fibre bonnet and needs a respray and the leather gear and hand brake boots have been ripped out, plus it was filthy! Such a shame to see a car you looked after in poor condition.

Maybe it's being prepped for a lot of work, lets hope so.

I wanted to get something a little newer + AWD + + Turbo + some more seats + a boot = Forester...

on that note found out first hand yesterday they actually have some get up and go. Came out of the car wash and put the foot down (maybe 80% full throttle) and got some super fun sideways action accidently. Backed off straight away as it was not an ideal time for this to happen but makes me think the skidpan would actually be good fun in this :)

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
