I have a formal closer to the end of the year... and mum and i were wondering what skyline would be the nicest for my year ten formal... at the moment we are not even sure if we get the nice car entry but we are fighting for it...

I'd like to know what you think...

hey beccie,

Well if u know SkyGTRline then he took me in his R32 GTS-T 1992. and well it was the only R32 there. and i saw about 4 R33.

So to be honest its upto you wich you you like most. But if i were you id try get my hands on a nice R34 GTR.

Coz your on the Forums it will be easy. Trust me theres some really nice skylines here in Canberra.

just that their all hidden in peoples Garages for some odd reason :D

Cheers, Mark

Heres the link to SkyGTRline's old car (now Sold(still in canberra))

If you can some how talk the 35 thats getting around Canberra into it you will win the entire formal for the year. Theres always one car each year that gets talked about at all the colleges the next year, in my year it was the bulldozer that carried the couple in its scoop. See, 6 years on and i still remember it haha

If the 35 fails, go in a bulldozer scoop

You should see if Reece is free that night....?? :) Failing that, the open wheeler will turn heads

Hhahahaah yeah mum and i had that plan untill we realised that the open wheeler had no room for anyone and it wouldnt be allowed on the road... :)

YOU WAIT :ermm:

HAahahah the funny thing is that dad works in that area lol

The silver 32 thats in the drive way? It's in fantastic condition and best of all, Free.

*shrug* it seems she doesn't appreciate her beauty like I do! This is a kid who is driving a 34 around on her L's, I should have made her appreciate them a little more and started with rules like "you can look, but you can't touch or sit in the Skylines" until she learnt to idolise them LOL

Beccie, here's one way of looking at it without looking at who likes what body shape.

R32 GTR gives you Substance and Heritage

R33 GTR gives you Substance and more room in the back

R34 GTR gives you Substance and points for being more expensive

A blinged skyline gives you bling

Any normal skyline gives you a normal skyline

Unless your fellow year 10 friends (who I assume you want to impress) understand what a GTR is, then the Substance, Heritage and price is lost on them.

Most year 10 people and girls normally understand bling, it shines in your face. Get the skyline with the most bling you can find is my suggestion.

One suggestion, try to get in and out of your mums GTR rear seats, with your dress and high heels for the formal, with dignity or without exposing yourself. If you can't, may I suggest a 4 door car or the traditional chauffer driven limousine.

mmm i like the idea of the R35 :D

try gets your hands on that and ppl will always talk bout it...

OR!

u can do wot my twin brother did and hire the 'Moonlight Party Bus' :D

it was the best ride at the formal last year and ppl still talk bout it :)

and u wont have to worry bout space, how to get out with out presenting yourself coz its all easy

haha think bout it :)

Cheers, Mark

Hey,

Did the 'Moonlight Party Bus' cost much and is it in canberra?? It sounds really good... how many people can we get on it ??

Thanks for the info

Bec

If you want i can ask my mate nicely and he might take you in his R33/34 wide body.. it gets alot of attention at formals, but you would have to talk with him about price tho.. now sure what his asking this year. pm me if your keen and i'll send you some pictures. also does it have to be a skyline ??? maybe find something else or even better check out the members section im sure there would be a few photos of peoples skylines in there.

I think the party bus lives in mitchell as i see it parked in some back lot sometimes, but whether it has moved or turned to rust dust?? I was thinking a cement mixer, but if you are worried about space, you could always get 2 or 3 GTRs exactly the same and go as a rally.

hey Bec,

I found this website giving you the information about the Party Bus, i dunno how many there are in canberra but he went in a yellow one :laugh:

The cost though was aprox $200 in total but they had a few people on the bus and they all just paid $20 each.

But with a massive old skool double decker bus they had to all meet up in Fadden Pines and the bus picked them all up there :laugh:

Ummm also the bus has Neon's, Awsum sound system, Plenty of room to even run around and well its a Party Bus :laugh:

The Bus can carry about 20-30 People. So yea if i was you id get a few friends together and well even if u get 4 ppl thats $50 each, that you guys will always remember for the rest of your lives.

So really its upto you. its a pretty big price but if u get like a few people on the bus at the same time than u just divide the price in between you.. pure Genius.

AND

you will have every one still talking bout it the next year. Trust me, on my formal there were sooo many Skylines that i lost count.

But as i sed before if u wanna go in a Skyline than get your hands on the R35. If you see it parked, stand there untill the driver comes out!

He might think your weird but it will be worth the wait :P

Cheers, Mark

PS: ive attached a picture of the bus for you as well.

    • There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.
    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go. 
    • The roof is wrapped
    • This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.
    • Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.
