how long will it be between drives??

fuel isnt as prone to 'going bad' as quickly as people thing.. if its going to be more than a month or two between drives than it might be a drama.. Leave the fuel level low and all will be well

How long you leaving it for ?, i let the 34 sit for almost 2 months in the garage till about 2 days ago. Didnt do anything to the fuel.....my Mate let his R34 sit for a 3-4 months while he was overseas he experinced a dead battery but thats it nothing a jump start didnt solve.

Hahaha no matt I've heard what you do to skylines! Hit up Owen I hear he doesn't like his anymore haha.

Welllll I'm getting a photoshoot with matt in 2 weeks :D so After that itll Probly sit till a week before wakie when I get it ready and tinker, so sounds like

It should be fine.

Haha Dave it's not hard to keep the bloody fuel low in that!

Thanks for the input guys!!

Yeah, mine sits on permanent trickle charge now, but will see the light of day again soon enough! There's about half a tank I put in there sometime in August.

Too late!

Jarrad's already gone.

Now this is going to be a short damn thread! :P

If it's flat ground, we store our old show cars with them OUT OF GEAR and hand brake off.

Leaving them in gear for too long, oil can drain off them, and surface rust can build and seize the gears the same way the handbrake seizes.

We've also had on numerous occasions on the old show cars after sitting for too long, the clutch plate sticks to the flywheel, finding this out by attempting to start it and having the vehicle leap frog into something is not a nice way to find out... I'd rather find out when it just grinds the gear when attempting to put it into gear.

Disconnect the battery, OR place it on trickle charge (I prefer trickle charge as it leaves all your settings on your radio alone + leaves the alarm etc all turned on)

And Jarrad, I've NEVER broken anyone elses skyline. Only mine.

So where do I get the keys from?

Is true, Matt treated mine quite well on a Nasho run.

Note to self, out of gear and HB off. And yeah I like keeping my radio settings :P Although no sub anymore.

I don't know how you can just park yiur cars without driving them....

Mine was off the road for 2 months whilst I done the engine, and it was killing me.

Seriously!

Wtf????

Drive the car, even if its just once a fortnight.

You'll love it, the car will love it, everybody's happy.

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
