nah, got the crappy black auto with the RR panel losing paint and sanded back bonnet.

My red manual is a beast with 3 piece wheels and a custom rear wing. Just getting back on the road now to start club racing again but got my roadworthy and the discs are undersize so time for a new set. DBA will cost 1K for all 4 from Autospeed but I'm told by a guy in Epping he can get slots for under $500 (not DBA). I'll post when I find out.

Also got a green soarer and black laser lynx. give us a wave and feel free to stop and chat. :P

OK this is the price update. Slotted fronts ar $220 each, plain rears are $190 for the pair (cause they don't work too hard, even on track) so @ $640 I'm well ahead but I will have to get the heat sensitive paint out and bed them in properly cause I won't get enough driving in before Sandown next weekend. Always worth doing well anyway. The procedure is on the DBA website.

don't cruise. but i go shopping, live and go to uni around mill park - bundoora - greensborough.

LOTS of skylines around this area owned by ex VL drivers with attitude I must say...

Well yeah, what I mean by cruise is does anyone actually drive around this area that owns a Skyline. Bad choice of words I suppose :(

Still see ALOT of commodore drivers getting around here, I suppose this area has always been a tad bogan-ish..

[Edit: Shit, I just realised how old this topic was. Sorry for the post dig guys, just this came up in my search of the "Watsonia".]

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • 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
