i dunno how you afforded that car but must've worked hard for that! you're a lucky buyer

as for your friends saying you would've been better off in a GTST

man - what a bunch of fags???

i have a nissan cefiro at present moment i've had since i was 19 i'm now 24 and just considering selling it

anyone that tells me "why didn't you get a newer car"

is soon followed by "ohhhh i suppose i see why you favour the older ones"

Is this your daily or your weekend car?

Are you doing lots of km's?

Yes they're an expensive car, if kept as standard as possible you should have very few issues, both GTST/GTR's can be expensive to fix.

For example, clutch install on GTR = $400 labour, GTST=$200, but these are not things you do all the time.

Also, if you don't start modifying you shouldn't have much of an issue, if you go high boost or aftermarket turbo's and blow the engine the rebuild might be 6K if you take out the engine, but if you stay low-boost you should be fine.

Just look after the oil changes et cetera, you can do them yourself :P

Had mine for a year, yeah, it uses more fuel than my Wifes Corolla, but around town it is no worse that my old mans VX Commonwhore. Also has been running upto 20psi, on what turns out to have been stock ceramic turbos. I think they really are just a car that moreso will give back what you give them. Look after them and you will not have any trouble.

*Spun big-ends- Keep maybe an extra 1/2 a litre of oil in it, and spend 30secs a week checking it, mine never moves, but even that is nice to know.

(20v Corolla motors are far worse for this, exhaust goes straight under the Sump and literally cooks the oil, seen one with 2 inchs of sludge after having fresh oil at the start of a rally)

*Blown turbos- Don't run too much boost until you put steel ones on there, I used 20psi many times with stockies on there, (thinking that the way everyone carried on they had to have been steel, because the car was running 20psi from Japland, and "Ceramic turbos explode at 16psi, the first time they ever get there")

Sure for the money you could have bought a newer Rex or Evo... And then you would be kicking yourself when your first gearbox let go....

A mate spent $25,000 on a brand new Kia not long ago, telling me "I really want a Skyline but having a kid etc, want a good reliable family car" Stereo doesn't work, Power windows are intemitent, likewise the wipers, does'nt go into 4th when it is cold, and sometimes when it is warm..... and even worse now it is worth about $15000....

P.S, car looks great, look after it and it will look after you.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
