Got A Solution For Ppl Sick Of Skylines Being Stolen...


Recommended Posts

I have had 3 skylines .. a 33 series 1 a 33 series 2 and an r34 gtt.

Love the fact that they are 206 kw factory... hate the fac that someone wants to steal them every chance they can.

Insurance is expensive, some ppl dont even have insurance.

But where are you going to get a car with style with the following options;

200kw factory

AWD

Smooth look and feel...all the fruit you need!

4 Cylinder turbo, cheap to run, insure and register....

And stealth enought to not attract the attention of the law and criminals?

Legnums are deff' the go if you want a turbo wagon 2.5 litre twin turbo V6 (6A-13) and they are cheaper, iron chef has a few from 10,800 to 14,500, that or a stagea.

still the soccer mums car but....

hmm ive read nothing but stolen r32/33/34's for months, now ive heard knife point car jackings and ram raids for a skyline.

I would rather have a caldina with the same power as a skyline but without all the bullshit any day..

And they look tough.

you know you can get up to a 2007 model one of these.

Yes the Iron Chef has a couple but they are pre 2002.

you can now pick up a Audi A4 b6 turbo quattro for mid 20 - 30's (avant if you are looking for wagon)

the pre 02 caldina looks poo and i doubt 03 onward will be any cheap

it really makes me wonder why imports?

when i had my S13 or r33 5,6 years ago

there were nothing in the market provide similar options, performance and style for under $60,000

imports were the obvious choice, as a shitty E36 318i costs more than a R33 gts-t

now they are no longer the most money for value

I still own one only because I am passionate about skyline

if I have to make a sensible change I would have a decent look around before I consider an import again

A soccer mums car is a toyota torago, or a an urban SUV/4wd.

Legnums and WRX Wagons and Caldina are not soccer-mum cars, they are hatches and wagons, furthermore, there is no such thing as "soccer" in Australia. its football. Soccer resides in the US.

    • Just bought a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO VQ25DET and spent the last two weekends cleaning and detailing it.. still have to do the wheels and the engine bay but the rest of it came up nice. Imported 2011 to S.A. and I'm the third owner since it was imported. I met the guy who brought it over, he went to Japan and picked out the car, bought it and ordered the wheels. He also gave me a list of stuff he did to the car with receipts. Coil overs (I have the original springs), 3" exhaust from the dump pipe back no cat, Custom dump pipe,(I have the original exhaust), Plenum spacer, 18" custom Work XSA wheels (need restoring, I've made a start..), Shift kit put through the 5 speed tiptronic auto, TV and menus/screens changed to english, Australian DTV tuner installed in rear. I've just had four new discs and new pads as well as all the fluids including the brake fluid replaced. I have all the receipts for the last 15 years and the import papers in a nice folder. Car looks great, goes like hell but fuel economy is not a thing lol.. pics next..
    • I ended up in this rut again lol, and used a shit ton of filler. One thing I can't understand is, even after using a big long block and going in long X pattern strokes, I always end up at bare metal again with no filler, and my repair started at one end of the door and now I've chased my tail to almost the other end of the door. I was thinking of hitting the panel with a hammer where it might be a high spot and making everything low then filling it, I did this on a small section on my other door by mistake and I think I fixed it lol. Is this a bad idea? The other thing is with guidecoat, whether it's the powder or spray, after I sand all the guide coat off, it doesn't reveal anything for me in terms of high spots and low spots and makes it especially hard when it's bare metal (at least in powdered form), am I doing something wrong here, or likely a high spot I keep going over and creating valleys? Lastly, stupid question but, is it possible that after sanding if I only sand over the filler area where I know to be a dent that it's impossible for me to dig into that dent? Unless there are other problems which I missed.  
    • Yeah the rule of thumb with an LS is 7psi per 1000rpm. That is decidedly not enough at 6800rpm. I mainly looked for the scenarios where knock started to be picked up and it was later in the session when things were hotter, and oil was thinner, and the pressure was lower than it should be. (i.e very horrible). I am hoping with thicker oil (I was running Penrite ten tenths 10-40, the manual specifies 10-30) that does not leak that it's much improved at that time!!! I am using Project Mu Club Racer CR pads. I'm also using the Project Mu 335C fluid. The symptoms imply that it was fluid that boiled, but no bubbles seemed pretty weird to me when I bled it today. I want to try Castrol SRF as it has a much higher wet temp but, well, I have new Project Mu fluid lol... so I should at least use that. The pedal on track was really noticable. It went from basically normal feeling to instantly near-floor. The car did pull up as before, it was just very much nearly at the floor before the brakes engaged. At that point I pretty much decided the day was very done, it did *kinda* come back during that very slow cooldown lap into the pits. Felt perfectly fine driving home.
