Got pre-approved for finance. Only one company would finance a car that old, but wouldn't finance a Skyline. -.- Too much hoon for them, probably. So now the chcices are: Different car (may have to be newer, dunno) or Personal loan. I'm oging to talk to the mortgage choice guy and find out about personal loans, though I am defs considering a Maxima Ti after driving Mike's. Was nice.

Yeah, he already suggested that when I got into his for a quick spin.

There's so much choice out there and I think I'd be happy with any almost any car from the late 90's onwards. I just want a skyline so badly and don't want to have to wait. :( Stupid Laws

Can anyone recommend where I should be looking to get a fibreglass repair kit to fix up two front bars? Both require multi cracks etc patched over a 10+ cm area... So one of the little kits from Super cheap ain't gonna cut it...

Try Paintmobile on Cheltenham rd Dandenong. They should have everything you need.

leeham will tell you to get a sss.

this.

SSS will munch NA 31,32,33 & 34 all day.

SSS with decent exhaust, some interior removed and good tread will keep up with turbo 31,32,33 & 34 most of the day.

inb4 hate.

this I believe

this i am dubious about

Lol trying to quote your post accidentally clicked on your name and went to your profile bucket boy, says you're 22...

So ideally you shouldn't be on Ps any more / shouldn't have long left?

Just go forced induction from the get go then?

What is this the f**kin YouTube thread?

Anyway, three way rolling between SS ute, Evo X and old faithful.

SS gives the thumbs up after losing; this is common for Commodore/Falcon drivers to do, I've noticed...and I love it because it's just mutual admiration for another car being quicker, it's respect (to some people, that's more important). Evo on the other hand, looks dead ahead like he's thinking "why isn't my car faster? I spent 50k on this shit." Remind me again why we pole fun at the taxis when the import owners are the sore dream boats?!

/stillhaventgrownup

if I rock up next to a sports car with their window down I usually put it in 4th, give it a little bit for a second for dat supercharge whine usually scares most off :P

I had some xr6t ute playing with me down the monash yesterday, thing was pretty darn quick sleeper as with those chrome plumber pole things just looked like a work ute, apart from the xenons he had on it.

getting bored of 370rwkw doe might have to go for 450 or 500 soon

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.

    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
