Hey guys,

Just thought id write word of two about my new little toy, after selling my r33 this is the only car i actually liked - nothing made me smile more. The beauty of RS Clio.

Done couple of little mods to the car just to differ from the rest :P

So far the list is;

Braided brake lines

Ferodo DS2500 pads

Camber pins, -1.7 Left, -1.4 Right - Toe 0.5mm out Left, 0.5mm out Right (1.0mm total) so much more grip and sharper turn in!

Remus exhaust

Eibach springs

My all time favorite, Mille Miglia HT3 wheels with michellin pp2 rubber!

Samco sport air pipe

BMC CDA Carbon intake - sounds like a wounded animal hehe :(

Various sound system upgrades and very dark tint...

odyssey pc680 battery

Almost forgot, home made front splitter :)

And of course 30hp TOY number plate!

Im sure i missed the little things out but thats how far i got it for now, not finished yet!

It loves to be trashed, and toyed with!

its uh... cute...

haha, looks pretty decent dude, handle well does it?

Straight line speed is not this cars strong point, but to be honest it does keep up with most of the cars.

Handling wise, i already gave grief to couple of subby boys in the hills :P

errr shouldn't you be posting this on a Renault site? :(

Sorry, hate it. Unless you have a vag. But even my wife wouldn't drive a frog car (yes, I know they now own Nissan, but that's not an issue) :P

Why not post it here, im sure many members here dont have a skyline.. at least i had one :)

no offense meant mate .... was just pointing out that surely members of a frog-loving community would have much respect for such a car .... however opinion here may differ. Imagine the response one would get on for posting up about a new Skyline acquisition on a Renault club site - a fair lynching, I would imagine :P

Non taken! Believe it or not, were revving about new GT-R on our forums. Great car doesn't need a specific community to be appreciated thats my point, not talking about my car.

Oh crap, work in few hours!

I quite like it. Friend of a friend has a Clio (sporty one, whatever the model) and he raved about it, as did my friend who drove it. FWD still sucks ass for REALLY spirited driving (I know I own an SP23) but overall looks like a fun package.

Love it - and remember that Renault is owned by Nissan these days, or is it the other way around??

Anyway, if dovla can drive, this froggy girl's car would hand your arse to most Skyline drivers on here through Chain of Ponds :)

Confucius say, "it not how fast yoo go up mountain, but how good you rook getting there"

some little buzz boxes like ur clio can be HEAPS of fun... my bro in law had (till recently) a worked pug 205, i have never been in a car that u can throw at a corner as hard as that. awesome for motorkhana and hills driving.

however oversteer > understeer when u step on the loud pedal

    • 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
