hello everyone..

as per the topic title... i did it... i got up the courage, prepared myself for the worst and went for it..

and she said yes! :D

what?? did you all think i proposed?? hahaha, im an idiot, but i aint stupid.

its been 3 long years since i gave up my skyline addiction cold the sphincter of the universe..

but im now a bit older, a bit wiser, and dont have quite as much money to blow on cars.. shes giving me a chance to show i can be trusted with another skyline.

so im on the lookout for a clean... lightly modified R32 gtst.. around the 10g mark..

im still allowed to drift it, and modify for it more for drift.... but its not allowed to be a drift pig unfortunatly.

man ive missed skylines... i miss the sounds and the feel of driving one, and heading out at 2am for a putty run to windsor maccas for breakfast and then back again... those were the days.

i havent been on this site since i sold my 33 in november '05 and ive missed it ever since, but i was getting in waaaaaay too much trouble and had spent waaaaaaay too much money on it.

its great to see so many new names... and its great to see some familiar old ones.

cheers

Linton

I really hope to see you at some events soon :D

I'm sure you will have no troubles finding a car you like.

haha... it was 50-50 on the skyline thing... she loved the car.. but not me going out at 3am, and it was a cop target and my numberplate was on a list with others at the cop shop, i was going nuts in it and bound to end up with it gone, or me in jail, or worse, so it had to go. that was a long time ago now though.. ive grown up alot.

since the skyline though, i had a 300rwkw VY SS ute... and after that, an 02' WRX wagon, with 160awkw.

the rex drifted better than the ute... hahaha, damn holdens.

cheers

Linton

and i hope i do have a car by the 19th... that would be great... gotta sell my bikes first though..

so if anyone wants a 2003 Kawaskai KX250 motocross bike - $3800

or a 1999 WR400 enduro bike (with Rego and Leaner legal) - $4500

i cant wait to get to some events... last one i went to was the show n shine at the entrance in 2005 i think. too long.

she enjoys it plenty enough just cruising in the passenger seat, thank you very much for putting ideas in her head.. haha, just kidding, but nobody drives my cars under any circumstance, not even her, she is aware of this.

the 25th... hmmm... i have a bit more time up my sleeve.... excellent.

cheers

Linton

you worried they might prang it or something? thats what insurance is for...

when i had no licence my mates drove my skyline, they loved it... i loved being in the passenger seat as i trusted them as a driver and your car feels much faster when your in the passenger seat

my ex drove it too, she loved it, learnt to pothole dodge, sideways driveway and burn people off lights...

ay even sammeh has driven the S4 along with a string of other people and everyone has loved it... i think i have converted him...

fair enough i wont let people drive it that i dont trust, or that will screw me if they smashed it... but everyone else can go for it...

try it linton, you might enjoy it!

Big linton - how are things going?

Still working out? Glad to see you got back into the skylines.

You will have to come give me a spin in your new car once you get it and have set it up how you want!!

Talk to you soon.

Dave.

haysey, thats fine for you mate.. and im all for insurance.. but most of my mates dont a lazy $2000 to cough up for my excess or repairs if something goes wrong.. and they also get to drive away in their own car, meanwhile im stuck with a damaged car to be repaired, whether they pay for it, organise, it, do it themselves, whatever, im still without a car. it also comes down to the fact that its my car.. i pay for it, i want it, i like it, i dont need to show it off to anyone, i dont need to prove anything to anyone, if my mrs wants a skyline to drive... she has a job, she can get a loan like everyone else, or save up and get her own. she prefers manolos though. i prefer to think about the worst before doing something... rather than sit there, smoke coming from the bonnet, front all smashed up, and have someone say "sorry mate, i wasnt expecting that to happen", having said that... i dont drive mates cars either, even if they want me to, because i cant afford their excess or repairs.

guilt toy, yes you did sell me that t3/t4 vg30det, hybrid, imbred, monged up turbo and farrrrrrrk me did it hammer with it... 3rd gear wheelspin coming on boost at 4500rpm.. the next owner after me took it off as it was a bit too much for him to handle. the injectors were nearly 100% with the bosch pump and shitloads of fuel pressure... i did the dodgy and cranked the ecu up to near on max fuel and then leaned it out with boost... i dont know how the engine didnt go bang. ahhh to be young and stupid again.

hey dave,

yeah still hitting the gym, i go to finance first at kotara now. i work my way up to 80kg then something happens and i cant go for a month and i drop back to 75 or less. soo frustrating. i just wanna crack 80kg.

i saw you at coles at the junction the other day, you just walked in as i was on my way out over the other side with lots of shopping, didnt have time to trek over and say gday, wanted to though. you can tag along on the putty cruise if you want, hopefully should have one by then... are you still looking for a trail bike?? i got 2 for sale.

cheers

Linton

I will never forget that turbo, i built it out of scrap turbo's that i had given to me and purchased the front housing, it was the maching and rebuild costs that cost all the money.

it was a great turbo for what it was...

Vg30 .71 rear

Hitachi RX7 rear wheel (cropped) and core

T4 .50 front housing and wheel

was a drift turbo from hell :P

glad to see ya back mate

    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
