I suppose if it was in the boot now, the car would be a 5.5L single turbo. *thinks* RB55QET?

Matt i am not blind, 15yo imports are a good idea, but just remember these cars do not come road worthy or registered may need new tyres and even need money spent on them to get them to road worthy standard. The car may cost 7-8 grand to buy, but mostly they say have another 1500 bucks to spend on the car when it gets here. Plus that his car has to sit on the docks in japan for another 5-6 months and then be shipped over here which may take even more time.

But if he is willing to wait HELL YES TO THE 15YO IMPORT.

So who has the best car around CQ i know a fella with a skyline and noone has beaten him in gladstone yet so it must be pretty good might be a 32 GTR not sure

Yeah its pretty hard to judge who has the best car in CQ cause there a lots of different ideas of who has the best car.

I know that this is a skylines forum and all, BUT, I am working on a car at the moment, a 1966 VC valiant, and hopefully when JC Performance Engineering (HE HE HE) are finished with the car it will be able to peel of some pretty decend numbers down that 1/4 mile strip of road. Now the car wont stop, turn or handle but i dont want it to.

I actually looked into getting a 15 year old gtr through prestige and their method of storage was leaving the car on the docks under a car cover! The guy from prestige actually said if the car is under a cover no one will be interested in it and that they are

behind a six foot wire fence so they are in has words 'safe' from theft. My personal opinion is the guy smokes way to many cigarettes with blue veins in them.

Yeah i need to get my monthy fix at the drags if you read the bully. But yea there just might be a gun metal grey 32 at the drags on the 16th. we need heaps of people to come for the drive to the beach on sunday. makes for more fun. should we do parilla or go to that thai place next where Mrs rick works?

Stuff the Tai i dont need to crap throught the eye of a needle...AGAIN.

And yes cause you are dating him, i mean his family, you do share a bond, a bond of love and....

    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
