Hi all. Thought i should introduce myself.

I new to the forum but have been living in Perth for about a year. Moved over from Adelaide.

Im looking at buying an R32 but need to sell my 2003 Hyundai Tiburon. (its not as bad as you probably think cause its a Hyundai!)

I have checked out a far bit of Perth, pretty much did a lot of it when we first moved over. It is definately different than Adelaide. Will admit that it has taken some time to get used to.

Havent seen too many Skylines recently, u guys must be everywhere im not!

Computer didnt let me finish typing.

What i was going to ask was, and it has probably been asked quite a lot already, but, would you import or buy a car that is already over here with a previous owner? Hoped that made sense.

I also go by the name MissDee but my real name is Danielle.

Hopefully when i get my Skyline i will get to meet some of you guys

Hey... welcome to the forums :banana:

Yea, buying a car here has its advantages cause you actually get to see the car in person. There are some very good importing companies though that will be a very good option too. It all comes down to, can you wait the 3 months it takes to get the car here from Japland. If you're thinking about importing, PM Mike aka MIKE_R32_GTR. He works for Blacksun Imports. Only heard good things from them and he helped me out. I'm sure he's lurking around here somewhere :P

got my car through Blacksun and couldn't be happier so definitely worth talking to them.

I also imported, i used j-spec which is also a very good company, although importing does take time but it makes you appreciated it so much more when it does arrive, i took the day off work just so i could pick it up and drive it all day long, after been at the pits for 3hours of course :P

Hey SCR34MR you got a sweet ride there. Im soooo jealous at the mo. Im hanging out for a Skyline but i will wait until the right one comes along. Dont wanna rush into it. But its hard seeing all your cars and me not having one yet, i know when the day comes to pick up my new baby it will be worth the wait.

Thanks to all who have welcomed me so far.

Now just need to find the right person to buy my car.... where could they be?! lol!

So where is the best place for a cruise?

Balga - Lockridge - Midvale - Armadale (especially West Armadale) - Parmelia and then end in Langford

A fun time will be had by all :(

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
