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.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
