hmm,

-water leaking into boot through tail lights despite my fail attempts at sealing it..

Tried drilling a couple of small holes on the bottom of the tail lights? I had a similar problem where even pulling the light out & resealing it would still result in water getting flooded into the boot due to it being collected inside the light (blinker & reverse ones), drilling the holes fixed up my problem.

Doesn't pull chicks :)

The only female my car ever attracted was a Cop & I wasn't even the one driving at that time! (Dad was driving) :)

Other sh*t I discovered:

-The brake pads are eating away the rotors

-head lights are piss weak

-Automatic

-More importantly I don't have a manual license!

- my radio antenna doesnt work so am always listening to cds

- only 2 front speakers work

- ABS light is always on ( bad wire i think ) but goes off when i off my lights

- have yet to get it tuned

- ugly as front bar

squeaky clutch

bonnet alignment on the piss

idles high (950-1000rpm)

still love it tho!

Adjust your AAC valve at the back of the intake manifold. You need a small screwdriver to adjust it and then your idle will change :thumbsup:

your a legend, my car idles at 1100 rpm with the silencer in there, and 900 without the silencer in the exhaust. i thought that was normal.

ill be changing that tomorow morning. cheers.

mine has a few thing wrong with it..

clutch squeeks when deressing and releasing pedal (but im not fussed)

brakes squeek haaaardcore till their warmed up, also they squeek nonstop when its wet and when ive just done a hill run. running bendix but will be getting slotted rotors soon.

also on start up for a second i get a sound like as if someone is scrathing a blackboard. wierd sound, only started recently.

standard kit. (not fussed)

standard wheels (want to change)

RB25 (26 in pieces in garage) by my 25?? any takers

paint bubbling on wing (will fix eventually)

clear coat rapidly vanishing on bonnet ( CF replacent one day)

small dent near fuel flap (as a result of a badly aimed knee: yes my knee)

cracked lip (will replace)

standard suspension (replace after motor is in)

all in all not really upset with anything about my car..

whats wrong with my skyline hmm its sitting at pickles getting dirtier every day :laugh: with $13000 worth of damage.

baha, my mates car just came back from TC classics with supossedly 9.5k damage,

just saw it, 2nd hand: front bumper, bonnet, radiator -bumper n bonnet painted..

"did u say insurance? well theres at least 6k damage alone right there!"

- Fuel light doesn't seem to want to turn on anymore (guessing just need to change a light/fuse)

- Small front bumper scrape :laugh: added this after only a few months of owning my Skyline.

- I think there might be a belt loose

mirrors dont auto go back out, interior trims are rooted, automatic, needs new tyres new rims, needs all new badges, new atena, new front headlamps got yellow shit on them, heater dont work, front end damage, needs new spoiler.

other then that i think its all good haha :(

Want's to steer left very slightly. Presumably something slightly misaligned.

Gonna take to x-speed in a couple of weeks and get a full 'check up'.

Probably needs some thinner/better oil in the gearbox also.

Needs some decent rims too. Stock are uninspiring.

One should always be prepared in case one is propositioned by a pair of uninhibited Swedish models. :D

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 馃槀 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
