Lol 60% of skylines you see in NZ are bogan ass skid hacks which get the living shit thrashed out of them

Haha yup, and at any one time a good 15-20% of the bogan ass skid hacks are impounded for sustained loss lol

Not speaking from personal experience... :(

Lol 60% of skylines you see in NZ are bogan ass skid hacks which get the living shit thrashed out of them, 20% are still standard non turbo family sedans and the other 20% are reasonably nice.

haha like this one! (taken between Chch and Geraldine I think it was)

haha yea nz is flooded with so many jap imports it isnt long before they're within the price range of some very low calibre individuals and hence most of them end up in impound or crashed or looking like they should be. its a crying shame really.

This one i'm pretty sure belongs to a Southern Skylines member. It is her daily driver family car too. :P Thats an R32 GT-R spoiler on the back as well, which got painted the same colour as the R34. When she was looking at the car she didn't like the fact it had no rear spoiler, and the dealership just happened to have an R32 one lying around.

Can you describe any other Skylines you saw in Dunedin? ;) Haven't seen the white one before i don't think.

f**k you seroiusly took a photo of 2 stock 4 doors .

heres your next challenge . take a photo of a shell garage

or a toyota corolla

I took one of every one I saw that was easy to grab a pic. Cos i could. I think in total, it was less than 10 pics out of the thousands of photos I took so.... ummm, big deal??

Sorry not the whole Shell garage. I just took one of the sign cos it was saying welcome to me.

    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
    • I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?
    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
