1.And is it possible to go on a cruise wit u guys even if you dont have a skyline?

yep, SAU NSW is an enthusiast club, not an owners club. You just need like to skylines :P

While being on your P's, you can get a nice r34 GT (non turbo skyline) for that amount and have a nice cruiser.

i have to agree, ive spent all my money (i barely earn any) on my 'line since i got it lol, barely have enough for petrol to drive it lol. but i smile whenever i drive it :laughing-smiley-014:

save save save, as you wont once you get a car.

ive never been on a cruise with SAU but i dont see anyharm in coming even if you dont drive a skyline.

4. Please Dont Type With Caps. Its Quite Annoying!

Welcome to the forums!

Owning a skyline is great, everyone owns them for different reasons. Unfortunately a lot of people are only interested in the stigma of owning a skyline for the 'fast and the furious' factor. Personally, I enjoy the adrenaline from driving fast on the track, and living life one quarter mile at a time (lol)

Keep saving mate. You obviously know what you want. The harder you work to get it, the sweeter it will be when you finally get there :P

It Sounds Kool IM In The Process Of Filling Out My Membership Thing To Become A Club Member But the page isent loading...:P

Could you tell me how much it is please...

and with the cruises Got no car now..and i dont think my dad will take the aurion presara out for a cruise even though it pumps out nice amounts...

And Yer I Dont Want My Mum To Take Me Dont Want A 2007 Barina Cramping Your Style A" LoLz

im on here and i dont own a skyline!

Im on here to get heaps of info and learn how it all works and all that before i buy one. In my case, a Stagea (like a skyline, but a wagon).

Good to meet people and go on a couple of cruises and see what ppl have and see what your money can get you, so you can set urself a goal of what you want, then you can put it down on paper how much you need to put away in ur savings to get it.

thanks guys for all your inspiring words i really want one now ha ha ha, and im not one of those dik head kids who kill other people..keep it for the track why would i want to race and have the chance of braking my 6 years work of fliping burgers mowing yards and doing work..idiout guys are ruining my chances of driving a skyline with their fully sik strret racing "i hate it"

Anyways Keep Replying

I worked for 11 months, 11 hour days normally, 5 days a week, an hour away from home, doing work I absolutely hated, in an office full of people who I didn't like and knew were idiots...

So that's 65 hours (including travel time) in 5 days that it ate away... I lost most of my social life, didn't hang out with friends much, and just wanted to stay home and relax on the weekend...

It paid for the car straight up...

I'm never doing that again... But god dammit if I don't absolutely love my car... I am fairly adament it is one of the hottest looking things on this forum! (f**k off chubbs, I don't care what you think! :P)

Seriously, it has also sent me broke, but I am so in love with it... I'm going to look at photos of this car when I'm old and just remember what a hot piece of metal it was, and my kids will say, 'that old piece of shit? It could have exploded at any time with all that fuel in it!'

Then I'll hit them, cause no doubt I will be a bad father...

check out the "sticky" thread in general NSW

$60.00

If you do or dont own a skyline you can still join.

Infact - being your age, once you become a member here, you can still get your CAMS licence and do some events!!!

lol doooooooofie!!!!!11ty!!

Steve, from todays perspective, look at what people in their 30's,40's,50's are saying about their GT Falcons and GTS Monaro's!!that'll be us!

A cams license is a racing license basically...

If you want to get your car early, you can still take it to the track... I'm pretty sure the cut off is like 15 years old...

Long story short, you could drive a GTR around wakie with us if you had one :P

I think its 14 actually Steve!! 14 - 17 you can get a Jr Licence!

wish my oldies got me into it!!!! hahahahahaha

Remember though Juz, you do not need to type everyword starting in Capitals like Jon said :P lol

That's correct...

There are kids at the drags some days driving mini srag cars... It's awesome :P

You will have to either trailer it there or get someone else to drive it... And it won't be insured on the track either... so if you go off, that's bye bye skyline...

DIM 51M will cost about $210 less a year then that one

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
