Hi guys, I've just bought my first Skyline last week :) and I don't regret making this decision at all.

I've been waiting for this day for 5 years. She's an R32 GTR immaculate inside out.

As expected I do get a lot of attention on the road especially from the falcodores, but I think I like

this car too much to let her drag with those boys on the street, possibly hurting some one else

getting fines and say goodbye to my license.

Here are some pics ! :D

Yep I pick her up from Japcar. Dennis was an awesome guy. Not trying to rip me off like a couple of places I've been to before.

Not regret this buy at all just my misses whinge about twin plates clutch and my driving. Hope to attend the cruises in the future.

Just want to make sure that I can drive twin plate properly before I attend the cruise :D

What twin plate you got?

I had a HKS twin plate when I 1st got my R32.

A bitch to drive as it's is either "In" or "Out" and not much play at all but you get use to it and perfect for high RPM Launches.

Thanks for the comments guys ! Now all I need is a set of Work Meister 18"

Yeah for sure!

What wheels are they atm?

Any mods?

I don't know what twin plates it is at the moment. Perhaps I might use one of the hoists and tools at school to pull it apart and see but

I don't see that happeneing sometimes soon. It has a bit of playing distance before in or out. The rims is not sure as well. They are some

factory Nissan similar to the 350Z one but I don't think it is :O They are 17".

Is there anyway in Melbourne I can check out some 2nd hand Japanese rims? I don't think I can afford brand new one yet :( and

still gotta pay for my insuarance so not much $$$ left

Yeah leave the twin plate and don't bother pulling it apart.

For 2nd hand wheels speak to Aaron from Import Monster, he has a lot of wheels for sale.

He is also a Member / Trader on SAU.

I might drop by at Import Monster this week to see what he's got.

I live quite close to Ringwood.

Aaron has moved to Bayswater.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
