Heya,

Just thought I'd say a big hello to all at SAU Vic...

I haven't been reading the forum since the middle of 2005 when I sold my (slightly damaged) R33. It's nice to see so many of the old faces still around, as well as so many new.

Might see you around in my 350GT Coupe (I don't care what you say, it's still a Skyline! :dry:) when it arrives in a few weeks.

-Max

Maximus!!!!

Nice car on the way mate.....what happened to the dreams of a GTR?

Ant,

I decided I wanted something nicer on the inside and newer. I drove the G35 in the states and loved it.

Are you in Melbourne again??

Lol by that you mean to say that your testes were removed and placed back in your mums handbag....

...only j/k mate :( Nah they are a nice unit and I can point you in the direction of people who have fitted supercharger kits to them :blink:

Yep been back in Melb since March last year. There has been talk of another temp contract OS but nothing has eventuated yet.

My testes remain firmly attached thank you very much. If my mother had her way I'd be driving a Corolla.

And yes, I have been eyeing a few different FI kits of the SC, ST and TT variety. I think I will spend my money on some handling mods first, and learn to drive properly this time, before I go nuts with the POWAARRRRR (by which time I'll have an R35 anyway) :blink:

MAX!!!!

Hey mate, long time no see/hear. Glad to see you back in a Skyline (well soon anyway). Would love to have a look at one close up, as i have only seen them from the outside. Hope to see you back out on the roads and on club cruises.

All the best :P

Pfffffffffft......... I think you have lost count ;)

I remember we had this discussion when i was SAU VIC Vice Pres, and i could tell you that was more than 2.5yrs ago; let alone how long your car has been off the road for :).

There are some members like Saff (Alan) that have never seen your car on the road since they joined SAU :P

I pulled the car off the road in Dec 05 for the conversion. Im sure we've had this convo a dozen times now... :P

I'd just moved out of Bundoora, it was near my birthday, and thats when the Rego expired & i was fully EPA'd. All 4 things that happened Oct-Dec '05!

2.5 years unless my maths is wrong, cant argue with the dates when its printed on my old rego sticker and EPA notice ;)

I think Max needs to take us all for a ride in the G35 (not at the same time of couse) :happy:

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
    • Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
    • Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
