G'day,

I'm not new to the forum, been a member for over 12 months, but not really active.

I thought it was about time that I said G'day.

I am the proud owner of an R32 GTR 1994, had it about 12 months and haven't done too much as yet.

The forum has been a real source of info on all things Skyline, and extremely interesting.

I live on the NSW Central Coast, please don't hold that against me, it truly is God's country.

I've had a few cars over my years (being an older member) WRX, Integra Type S, Golf GTI *2 and can honestly say that I've been blown away (pardon the pun) by the Skyline.

Cheers,

Steve

Hey there,

Good to hear you like the skyline the best, So you went from a golf GTI to a GTR?

Why sell the WRX to get a GTI?

Sorry,

Not in the said order.

I had a Mk 1 GTI in 1982 and a 5 door Mk 2 in 1986.

I had my WRX in 1999 (MY2000) . ( I had a family in between, and a series of more appropriate cars)

Having said that the Mk1 GTI was more fun than the WRX. Although the WRX was quicker, the GTI was a more responsive car, no turbo to deal with, and with only 112 bhp!!

The Skyline is in a different class, I should be comparing it with Porsche or Ferrari, just never been able to afford that type of car.

I (my wife) has an Integra Type S, that's a bit of fun on country roads. She just loves to rev, the car that is!!

Cheers,

    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version. 
    • Thanks mate, well done to you too! Yeah not looking forward to doing any major work to it!
