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

    • Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out
    • Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.
    • Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.
    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
