That is so great that there is such a age gap? that appreciate the skyline. I was always under the impression that it was mainly the younger people that where interested in this car. WOW 18 to 50 didn't know it was so broad.

Yep I'm 54 later this month.

So far I've owned

S54

C110

C211

R30

R31

R32

R33

R34

V35

OK I've been a Skyline tragic for 35 odd years before they became trendy

Last few posts have upped the average

Turned "60" in April - still a couple of yrs younger than Jim Richards & still can't see myself driving an auto.

Can't afford an R35 import for a while yet anyhow. :P

So yeh, I was born in the 1st half of last century - just!

For a lark, I've sometimes contemplated walking across the road towards my car holding a white cane & wearing dark sunnies >

Then I'd shock the living daylights out of the onlookers driving a car like this :wub:

Datsun 1600 was my 1st car "new"; then,

Datsun 180B "used"

Ford Escort Van "Pharmacy Van"

Datsun 240K "new"

Alfetta GTV 2l. "new"

Sigma SE "used"

Volvo 245GL "new" to keep the family safe; but still got booked by police in light aircraft over Woodford

Skyline R31 Silhouette "new"

Mazda 929 "used"

Maxima G "used"

Alfa Romeo 164Q "used"

Skyline R33 GT-R (midnight purple)

Honda Prelude 5th Gen "used"

BMW 328Ci "used" + N13 Pulsar (daily)

Skyline R34 GT-R (pearl black) + Prelude 4th Gen (daily)

BTW, for the record, there were 2 guys older than me at the R34 GT-R 10th Anniversary Drive; which made me feel better :P

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
