badman,

good to see you have an interest. Helps to start young.

If you decide you would like to own a jap performance vehicle may I suggest you go and invest in some advanced driver training and then perhaps some motorsport based training as well. This should keep in check the urge you will find compelling you to smash into telephone poles at high speed once you get behind the wheel. We would like you to be a 'long term' forum guest after all :mad:

young? i guess... although its not uncommon for people my age (with rich parents) to own skylines... thats not to say they know HOW to drive them... most of them just hoon around with a huge BOV and exhaust and everything else bone stock..

advanced driving... yeah my parents insurance (AAMI) gives me a free advanced driving course except u need to take your own car... nothing worth thrashing on a course around my house.. :) anyone wana donate a skyline?? haha! i wish!

One thing you have to remember is half the time you dont know who your talking to, so whilst they might seem like they know an awfull lot they can be just spinning sh*t, dont beleive everything you hear on the net, alot of 14yr old know it alls out there. But a forum such as this one is a great place to get some different opinions and an idea on how much things cost.

    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
