ive seen it in Street Machine mag not that long ago..... the amount of work that goes into a classic car is , to most, un comprehendable. owning the torana i had was a very good lesson, i sold it in fear of a) it going missing, b) getting hit by some one and c) worrying about it all the time. un like a lot of newer cars, you cant go to a shop and pick up panels easily, most need custom work to fit and others are not available.

now owning a skyline i tend not to worry if i leave it some where, coz at the end of the day it can be replaced. :P

yeah I wish I kept my R/T 6 Pack Hemi Pacer and restored it....very rare now.

Paid $1700 for it when it was just 3 years old

Customline 9" rear end, triple webers and bored out to take 327ci Chev Pistons.

Hmmm, memories :P

I even had a handicapped run against the old famous Shotgun (only the oldies would remember that wheel standing Ford) back in the day when you were allowed to run up against the Pro Stockers.

Hey i remember SHOWGUN i haven't heard that name in awhile .

You is from the old skool Pete :P now sign the petition please *flutters eyelids* http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/...australia.html

I have a GTR and worked hard to get it..I am not stuck up and I love the feel of it..For me they are a "unicorn" :( I just dont like bulls**t, people shouldn't think they have to talk it up to think you will listen and think you're cool..

I have met all sorts in the car community..I don't care what you have I will still talk to you. I am a big fan and just love motorsport!!

P.s I do kind of get annoyed at the BS that boys like to talk to girls at times as some think that girls don't know anything about the car they own, I am polite but after think "that was a waste of my time" :O

Hey i remember SHOWGUN i haven't heard that name in awhile .

It was definitely SHOTGUN Shane............a Ford XB Coupe Pro Stocker owned by Kevin and Greg Flaherty.

Greg died almost 20 years ago and his missus used to frequent one of the pubs where I used to do security back in the day.

greg flaherty

gee thats a name i havent heard for a few yrs was killed comming back from interstate bringing back a new sprintcar or parts from memeory killed with one of the francombe girls . i remember standing on the infield at speedway park for a minutes silence when that happened . damm times go by too fast

na Pete there was a R33 getting around with SHOWGUN plates

lol steve, the R32 wasn't even invented yet when SHOTGUN was famous, let alone the R33!

Correct.........and I think his missus name was Tarrin

i try and acknowledge all skylines.. usually get snobbed by 33s, n 34s coz they think there beta..

i always hav a look coz ther all different, sum new 2 look at everytime..

n id much rutha ackowledge a skyline ova a datsun or sumfing.

i was thinking about this the other day, if i see any skyline, any at all, ill drive past and wave. usually get nothing in return!i also wave at any import just a casual thumbs up or a wave, shows almost a rep for sharing the same interests! think it should be an import code of practice to share a wave, acknowledgement! generally speaking you dont know what someone has under their bonnet be it a gtst, ex. again chad, stock looking 32, gtst bonnet, no signs of gts4, with an rb26 under it! respect other people i say and life would be a better place! end rant

...respect other people i say and life would be a better place! end rant

that can be said across the board for anything when you let a car into peak traffic it gets returned to you later, if everyone calmed down when driving and let a commodore in sometimes we will all get there safely and not have to boil the blood

yea but there still is the image of all import drivers being wanks, as we import drivers think most commodore drivers are wanks! so its a win loose battle, but getting off topic there, still i think rep another import and show some love, with awave or something

I had yet another commodore wanker come flying up my ass the other night, this time on mcintyre rd, changed into left lane and he followed me, then floored it around me. wtf is their problem? it happens alot.

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
