First its a Japan forum with Rezz...

 

Next it'll be a Relationships forum with bonzelite...

 

Where is SAU going!!!! :)

how about this: has anyone got pics of getting married in the skyline? maybe someone here has a story about how the 'liner got them hitched. anyone?

I reckon theres one characteristic which time and again will get you the females, the dollars and the popularity.... CHARISMA

A friend of mine has it and I havent met too many people in the world that do. He's a good lookin bloke but what I reckon pulls in the chicks is the fact that he is confident in himself, he can hold a conversation and make it interesting and engaging for everyone.

the only other trick that ive seen work is persistance. My cousin is not the best looking bloke in the world but has lots of confidence without being arrogant. We will walk into a club, spot a good looking woman but none of us when we were single would do shit bout it. He on the other hand would walk up all the time and have a chat, I would say 40% of the time he would end up picking them up or a friend, 30% of the time he will end up havin a good chat and maybe become friends with em and the other 30% would be stuck up bitches who would tell him to **** off! but it neva fases him... he always goes back for more knowing that sooner or later the fish will bite.

yep, we're called bloody volvo drivers cause we get all the bloody chicks and it bloody pisses everyone off.

bloody oath

p.s sinisteR32 i didnt make it to the pub last night, bumped into 2 girls from work and went back to their place to watch movies. the movies were bloody crap.

yes to all of this. excellent post.

So pentae, why dont you tell us how impressed the girls are by the Silvia :(

Another reason why girls arent impressed by my car, last night a friend drove my car as i had enjoyed few too many rusty nails. She stalled the thing countless times, poor diff/box/clutch were making some funky noises and smells. :Oops:

Roy, i saw your post originally and thought you were talking about a TVR Tuscan - looking at your pic. My friend has a Tuscan S and i was wondering how you could possibly stall it, after all, the engine ticking over is enough to move the car in first gear!

Then i realised you were talking about your Skyline. Unfortunate to have a girl moaning about it but hey, i bet all your real mates love it.

Forget women... i can only dream of a Tuscan S here in Aus, looking at the jobs im applying for in the UK, i dont think i will be able to afford one over there in a real hurry either :( .... your sig seems rather appropriate for this thread :)

bonz, you scare me, you seriuosly scare me.

Chicks want money, they want the name, thats about it.

My brother drives an Alpha 156, its really not a very nice car, but it has a name and leather seats with alpha symbols embroided in them - chicks love it, even heard a mates girlfriend say she got wet just looking at it (they arent a particularly good looking car either)

The other thing is, when any single female heres that my brother is in the oil industry, they want his phone number - every bloody time - 1001 questions etc

They all just want one thing, money, but think about it, if a chick had a huge bank balance and didnt mind throwing it around, I know she would automatically rate a root from me:) I know, I am a s1ut too:p

I guess shortly after I got my silvia I met the smoking hot girl i'm currently with and have been for several years.. she loves my damn car so much she's bought me a viper alarm and a few other things christmas and birthday gifts. She visciously defends it when her friends say 'silvias are shit' or whatever. One of her guy friends from uni drives a non turbo silvia q thats been riced up to the extreme and drives terribly, he gets paid out quite a lot.

Theres a big difference between both cars, even though they are both silvias. I do enjoy being in the minority of s13 silvia owners that actually owns a 2l turbo (which is a rarity in itself) and one that has not been bastardised by crap rice (I'm yet to see another one on the road).

I've given a few girls from work lifts home and they have fallen in love with my car, and constantly rave on about it to anyone who will listen.

i think a lot of chicks know that a "skyline" is a desirable car for teens and 20-somethings. so if you say you drive a skyline, they think you're cool (or a rev head).

but there is definitely more of a stereotype associated with a "skyline" driver, than say a "celica" or a "prelude" driver.

if you're talking about chicks, you'd definitely want your personality to be your forte and not let anything else speak for you. maybe we should all catch cabs when we go out on dates :D

my 2c

if you want to give me the the benefit of the doubt.. you could say chicks want a partner who is successful and can be a provider.

but you do get the really superficial ones who just wanna be seen in the passenger seat of an xyz

you would wanna date a guy/chick who is good at what they do and is doing something interesting and important...

bonz, you scare me, you seriuosly scare me.

Cars are beginning to mean too much to some people... I know a few people (Females Mainly) that hear someone mentioning a car.. say.."I saw this nice white R33 GTS-T in town" and are soooo quick to tell them how good a friend they are, and they got to drive it, and they are always riding around in it.....

People become obsessed over someone elses car and this is what they call Envy...

Envy can never be the start of a good relationship, Using your car to pick up brings in the wrong types, Althought the Interest from young scantily clad women can raise your confidence and make you a more "charismatic" person...

A decent girl just wants you to have a comfortable car, stable job, sense of humour and big back seat....

When talking to a girl, Never talk about yourself, or your car, only answer questions and ask questions about her... Girls pick up on what you are trying to get at, They know more about what you are thinking than you know...

Be unpredictable, That's it.. Do something or Say something that they aren't expecting, and you'll be in their head for a while, They'll talk to their friends about you... eg "Guess what happened last night, This guy came up to me and Told me I had a nice facial structure" ... She'll be curious about you.. then The nice job, and nice car that she finds out about later just give her bonuses when she talks about you "You know that Guy I told you about... the facial structure thing ... He's got this really nice Nissan Skyliner turbo thing" ....

Not only are you in her good books, her girlfriends will be curious too...

That's an instant couple of admirers...

Only thing it takes is getting past the fact that you might get rejected and giving it a try....

So.... I don't use my cars to pick up... Mainly cause I don't have a car that would pick up...

Walking my dog gets more attention from the girls than driving my cars lol...

But thats just what a Pure bred Siberian Husky is for...

Anyways, Enough dribbling for me..

Now I need to go sulk at my inability to pick up a chick ;-)~

    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
