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.

    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
