Yes, i have recently realise, that i'm spending less and less time in my skyline and instead of pulling it apart and selling it as bits i've now have decided to farm it out to towing my jetskis as a gesture of retiring for the old girl. well i've sorted of detune her a little bit so economies can be realise and when the semi slicks runs out, normal road tyres will be refitted. After 7 years of ownership i've have come to a point where a car is and can be TOO fast for normal road use, but it have always brought a grin to my face everytime the pedal hit the floor.

BTW anyone can recommend or knows where i can get a tow bar for an r33 as i've rang around and no ones makes them.

from seeing my father making towbar attachments for cars, I would say that the skylines is not possible because the chassis rail would be hard to bolt onto as the fuel tank takes up alot of the room under there, and also all the kits that people have.

So basically I would suggest getting another car, not too many sport cars have towbars.

No, the skyline eats the RS6 Erin by a huge margin, as for getting another car, my garage is bit crowded and friends are getting impatient with my cars all over there yard.and the skyline would be cheaper to "write off" than one of the other one, prolly use the X5 if i can't get a tow bar made.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
