Spotted a flash of a sexy maroon R32 with kit drive by where the construction for the Gungahlin Drive Extension is going on about 5:30 yesterday afternoon. Only got a brief look as was at the intersection to turn down Caswell Drive and there were cars and concrete barriers everywhere. Could have been Psymon from looking at the pic in his other thread. If so welcome to Canberra mate and nice car! :)

Spotted Micks car in fyshwick parked off townsville? st, i assume this is where you work.

Also, i don't know if it's just me (because i drive a stagea) but skyline drivers don't seem too observant on the roads. i see R33's and R32's and the odd good looking R31 all the time, always give a wave but they're looking off into the nether regions or just generally not paying attention to anything else.

anywho, i just feel lonely because no one waves back :P

I'll only wave first if I see one of the "regulars" from on here, most others = they're usually blind/busy/snob

I try to wave at everyone I see driving a Skyline. I get a few waves but most of the boy-racers just look at you funny. Oh, and I seen a skyline pulled over on Langdon Ave, Wanniassa tonight at about 9:30 - 9:45. I didnt see him until I had passed because I was changing songs on my CD player. Dont know what model or colour. :O

Haha yeah a interesting site that was, this sole car parked minding its own business well away from all the others and the r32 starts sliding in its direction. Terrible luck if he hit it

Edit: I showed up with the Crx, Rx3 and the 180 in the white 33

Spotted a 4 door white R34 parked around from the casino tonight.

That was me!

I spotted a black ceffie on Coulter Drive yesterday and got a wave. I get more waves in Canberra than Sydney and I'm only there about 5-6 times a year.

    • Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?
    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
