hey everyone i had to tell someone so i thought how about i tell alot of people. its a 1999 r34 25gt its silver, has the turbo brakes and has carbon fibre window pillars which looks pretty cool. i went with my dad and my uncle and we looked at every little bit of it, we moved the carpet in the boot and in the car as well, looked underneath and took it for a drive and then checked for any leaks and its as clean as a whistle. i should have it in a week or two and ill take some pics and post em up. oh and the best thing is i bought it i dont owe anyone which is a good feeling. when taking it for a test drive it felt great, the handling felt fantastic the braking was awsome and revved nicely through all gears. now i have to wait which sucks im real excitied i feel like a little boy on christmas eve lol, anyway ill post pics when i get it thanks for reading i just had to tell someone lol.

Awesome buddy.

I remember the first time i drove my 'line. Was raining like a mofo' then i stalled it coming home and had to push the car to the side of the road, as the battery decided to completely shit itself :laugh:

After that is was all sweet, once i replaced the battery :P

Congratulaions mate - welcome to the Skyline Family

ahhh...the first day i picked up my baby. Hadn't really driven a manual car before so was a 'tad' inexperienced lol.

Drove it like a retard, stalled it more 5 times + but i didn't care. Was a grinning idiot all the way home :laugh:

Enjoy your new car and treat it with respect mate, cos the minute you don't, it can come back and bite you four fold.

Drive safe and take care

ill definately take pics as soon as i get it. i was going to get the pics now but it has already been taken off carsales. i got it at power road car sales for $14,000. he is a small dealer but only works with skylines but he had a couple of 300zx's there as well. it was a bit of a drive to go and see it but my uncle lives in rowville so it wasn't that bad the dealer was in dandenong and i live on the other side of melb, ill definately be seeing you guys because ill be joining for sure. also i forgot to mention the badging on the back is in gold did any come with that or did the last owner just buy them or paint them.

it seemed like a good dealer he was a nice guy as well so i was happy to buy my skyline from there he said he was buying one of those nissan v35's, and they come with an 8 speed auto, that would be one smooth ride it must cruise at a very low rpm.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
