Hi All.

Bran Nubian here. First Skyline ever in a few weeks. (Was getting a 03 WRX but changed my mind).

Excited about it.

DJ'ing career over, so now getting in car stuff.

Have been reading the forum over the last few weeks, thanks for all your posts, good back ground on everything from cruising to who and what I need to be aware of.

Any other issues I need to know about would be appreciated, on anything.

Who gives good prices on anything, particular products for cleaning your skyline, get serviced, where not to be after dark with your car haha...Appreciate the mind.

Starting from scratch (Turntablist pun).

Goldy.

Welcome Goldy,

You will be able to find any info you need on Skylines and the "Skyline life" in these forums, they're a wealth of information.

Firstly - Trojan motorsports Mitchell, ESP racing Queanbeyan, Autotech performance Fyshwick - All are great shops for servicing and modification around Canberra.

There are plenty of shops that will help you out with vehicle servicing but the three I just named above would be my first choices.

If you need info on keeping your new baby clean there are plenty of us that know a secret or two about detailing :whistling: and if you do a search for "Detailing" on the local ACT forum you will find lots of tips to help you with the best products and hints to get the best result.

As for not leaving your new Skyline in places after dark - Dont ever leave it in ANY shopping centre car park for an extended period (if you go to the movies or something) because unfortunately theives target Skylines, try to avoid taking it anywhere near Queanbeyan too (their not so friendly over the border :huh: - joke).

Anywho, you should come out to the Museum one Friday night to meet us... We'll arrange to get as many people as we can out there soon.

Cheers :/

While this is in general good advise, I see Skylines from 32's to 34's in car parks all day without being stolen. Get a good immobiliser and park sensibly. Saying that, unless you can afford ANY car be stolen, get insurance.

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
