I have heard rumours of fuel prices are expected to raise and extra $1 to 1.50 in the next few weeks due to the fact oil per the barrel is going up about 20 or so bucks a barrel...

heard this on news and a dude on another forum mentioned also heard from an attendant at BP

like owning a skyline wasnt expensive enough :)

no suprise really, i mean it'll ease for a little while, then shoots up, then eases again ect ect.. cant wait until 2020 when were paying $5bucks thats gonna suck

we will be driving hybrids by then probably....like the prius....probably would need to turn to the computer stores to get the best sound card and install subwoofers and huge speakers to get the same revving sounds like we do from a stock exhaust

That sucks... mines been in the garage so to speak for months.... only just getting it back this weekend. Be farked if its going to sit there any longer..... meh.....

HAHAHA i was thinkin the same thing lol

but fuel prices really do suck, i wish i had a company fuel card and a skyline for a company car :D

job at nissan? :)

fuel prices never bothered me, aslong as i was enjoying driving my car. but now that i have too many expenses and i'm trying to cut down on driving, i feel the pain!

meh. i have a company work ute a fuel card. just keep taking a jerry with me. considering i full up at least once a day they won't notice 10 litres every now and again.

i know a bloke who works on oil rigs. all he does is tap into and cap new oil wells. usually does 1-2 a year. there is heaps of oil. just cheaper getting it out of existing oil fields is currently cheaper, so until they are running empty then they won't bother.

will be intresting if a few major oil users (like the usa) stop depending on foriegn oil. the international prices would start dropping due to less demand. although with the way china and other developing countries are going they will want it all. plus the damn servo's will still probably charge the same amount

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
