Electronic aircon

Electric mirrors and windows

I can go on and on

And what does your wife think about having to share your love with a hunk of metal? :)

She's just glad it's a car, and not some other late-model Japanese...

LOL @ Rezz....

What is Irashaimase!?

is it like random shouting? like...

Daidokoro...!!!!

Irashaimase is what shop/restaurant owners say when you enter their shop/restaurant.

Daidokoro (kitchen) is definately a random thing to shout out... you done that before have you Pva?:)

My budget had a ceiling of $20k. I started looking at mid late 90's celica... Nice looking, toyota reliable, probably handle nice. Then also at Honda Prelude mid 90's again nice looker, Honda superb build qual and reliability. But they were not enough - stock 1/4 mile not very fast.

Enter the skyline. Obsession. Mmm 187kw standard 0-100 6.21 1/4 14.4 poss wow all this and a beautiful looking car, with loads of Jap gizmos and legendary Nissan reliability (had a VL be4 50% jap of course) I was sold.

People keep saying how nice it looks. I take it for a fang up MT Glorious close the redline oh it goes nice. Makes driving an experience not a chore like it used to b.

Cant wait to get my twin dump, full 3 inch and hiflo cat shortly.

The build quality is superb i mean its 8 years old but it dont look like it someone who knows nothing bout skylines would say it looks like an exotic $60k+. Lol all for $20k. No regrets. Big fan.

I am korean, there are long history between Japanes and Koreans...especially more elderly persons.

I would like to discuss it why that is...

I've forgiven Japs long ago... but if I ask my grand parents. they dont encourrage it.

I dont know if you get the histoty Rezz.

at first i liked it cause it just looked good ... then came the chicks ... they loved it ... they were like .. oh u drive a skyline?? sweeet :) ... for some reason a skyline just makes u look that much better :) ... u can be ugly as but as soon as u get seen in one ... you're almost brad pitt :) ... and then its the power and moddability ... u get respect on the road ... u guys ever drive in a small shit car lately?? notice how everyone cuts u off the road ... well they dont' do that to u when u drive your skyline LOL ;)

Would have to be the heritage for me. I've only been into cars for a few years but i used to think that skylines were those big boxy skyline gxe's and crap like that, r30 and 31 series. Then i started to do a bit of research and found out how the car demolished the group A series, won every race in japan and bathurst too. Was then that i realised this is a machine not to be taken lightly. It has since made its way into my list of favourite cars :), the original godzilla anyway

Da tail lights are sexyyyyyyy as!!!

Its fast, it looks the part and damn... just such a nice car. With an Rx7 and a Supra... the 3 best cars in the world have been made.

Which one tops it... duno, but i love Skylines...

    • I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
