Move out of Home

myeah from experience moving out of home is great...but it costs a shit load...

buying a new skyline is good cause its new, and they are nice and nothing is bound to go wrong

putting a stupidly large engine in a skyline, is fun you learn f**ks loads....host bbqs meet people...and have many problems and issues that will piss you off, but you have an awesome sounding and awesomely quick car that handles well by the end.

what would Jesus do? he would nail himself to the cross again cause he likes mercs.

Ha i wish i had a money making machine, my R32 is nice but alas it is an auto, and just doesn't seem to have the grunt it may once have had. i want something with heaps of grunt, i have looked around at used Skylines for sale but unless i was to buy one from an SAU member there is no real way of knowing the quailty of the mods added.

if i could find a nice RB26 that wasn't rapped i would consider dropin that in long before a V8+ conversion

Technically you could achieve all three if you put a new engine into your R32 and used it as a house.

:laughing-smiley-014: the only reason a young fella like me should own a 4 door is because they are just so dam easier to sleep in the the Skylines haha

damn i have more respect for my car than that.. would never do anything in my personal car.

puttin a chev into a skyrine. hmmmm personally i wouldnt wanna do it but at the same time i wanna see it done. It would definately turn heads and definately wont turn corners. :happy:

GT Auto has georgy has a LS1 TT in his GTS4 R34

well jebus wants u to sell the skyline u hae now move out buy ur own place and drive a ford laser for the rest of ur life

i reckon u should go with a new skyline but hey if u wanna listen to a 2000 year old dead guy instead of me feel free :PBJ: im not gonna sit here and argue about it

its just jebus lived at home till he was 60 so im sure if u stayed till ur 40-45 then hey ur doing alright!

    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
    • I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?
    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
