I can't wait to see how that other chick's build goes, Kyleeee or whatever. She reckons she is doing a rb20e conversion in her V35 and then she is going to do a live axle conversion as well. WIll be well shit.

Hmm... I think there's some good lessons for us newbie's in those threads. But hey, everyone's got to learn think before they speak and maybe copping the wrath of strangers over the internet for saying things that are pretty silly would be a good way to learn it???

I bet those conversations would have gone veeeery differently if those involved could actually hear people's tones - there would've been a punch up really early on! ;) Haha not really, but you know what I'm saying, too much open to interpretation here!

I hope both those girls work out everything they need to in regards to their cars and just, you know, getting on with people but I have to say Kyleeeee's build sounds a little odd. Each to their own I guess, I just hope she gets a kick out of it,

And thanks guys... for the welcome and for helping me get to 2 pages in my intro thread :thumbsup:

Great work :)

Helping advance thread to page 3 now...new goal :laugh:

Welcome and no doubt you will learn a lot here. Just spend a lot of time reading through the forums first before you start to try and work out what you want to do. You will be able to work out most things without asking stupid questions that way.

That's cuz you figured out how to change posts per page. Only a few people know how to do it, they say it is more accurate than an IQ test at discovering prodigious genius. I would be expecting a call from NASA sometime within the next couple of days.

All the best with your new career, think of us when you are colonising Mars.

It looks like a stock gunmetal 32, just lowered a little, but I'll post a pic soon.

Good advice about searching through old threads for info, too. I've spent hours already trawling for answers, I read as much as I can to work out the general opinion of people, seems to have worked so far :)

Interested to know though, if other owners bought their Skyline's coz they love corners, straights, skids or all of the above... Or something else?? For me it's corners and probably skids when I finally graduate from a skidpan to dry bitumen sliding.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
