just got my car 3 days ago and i just got to drive it today my first time behind the wheel of a skyline(not in a video game) . and i loved it verry much corners great breaks are just top notch. uphill was no problem for this car much better then the toyota hiace i use to drive :yucky: got it cuz it had loads of room for my wife and i plus our 3 kids. but now we only have 2 kids so we dont need all that room so SKYLINE IT IS!:thumbsup:

any how im on my L's yes my L's so my father inlaw had to come with me but not before snaging my keys and speending around by himself. big grin on his face all he could tell me was "verry zippy all it needs is a turbo". so i had my drive and WOW :blush: this car is 1000 times better then the hiace i was luging my wife and kids around in. now i just have to go for a drive with the wife and kids see what the kids have to say.

Am I the only one that is finding that sentence a bit strange?

i thought i covered that im sorry our kids are all adopted 2 of them are brother and sister. we adopted them from there parents via private agrement and a few months ago the boy wanted to go home. so we sent him back to QLD to live with his mother and we still have the 2 girls age 14 and 15 the boy was 13.

nothing bad happened to him sorry i forgot to leave that out the boy is just fine. his mom has told us when we talked to her last he was happy and and glad to be back with her

This sounds like one of those logic and deduction questions you get on a maths test. Whoops, just read you're from Tasmania...possible the brother and sister are actually your brother and sister? :P

haha no its cool i laughed so no harm done... but maybe i could sell my soul for a vspec hmmm nah cuz i cant drive stick lol

no birds we are all from QLD.... well not me but yea the kids are and my wife is from SA im from california but i consider myself from good ol QLD :D

Hahaha this thread is halarious.

Next highly personel question.

Why are you on your learners when you seem to be of mature age? (Is that the correct way to say it without offending some one? Gotta be politically correct nowadays.)

well my life is more interesting then a stock N/A R34 4 door... maybe not but idk

PM-R33 i never got my licance in america i had a permit when i was 16 but that was about it im 27now. my dad got into a bad accedent on his motor bike and almost lost his leg. this is going back to 1998 1 day out of the hospital him and my older brother are on the freeway my brother is driveing. scared the shit out of my dad so he never tought us

lame i know but all my friends have there own cars so i have never needed to drive

it's like one door closes and three more open....

dude you sound like a crazy mofo and I probably know a little more about your life than I wanted to but ... for what it's worth - "Welcome to SAU"

Hahaha awesome thread!

Welcome to sau mate. I'm guessing 4 door? which model? You're gonna have a blast. From what I understand/remember, you don't have to go through all the pain-in-the-arse learning and p-plate stages if you're above a certain age?

Maybe you'll get that vspec sooner than you think (don't think they come in auto tho :P)

    • 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
