hey guys,

im moving to newcastle tomorrow and the daily will cost me less money and be more comfortable to drive, may be selling it after wakie in march >.<!

ANYWAYS, just wondering what i should do to the skyline? i heard you need to put additives in the fuel tank?

i asked dad to take it for a drive every week but i know he wont haha.

from virgin white. to ruxis do not add any additives to your fuel tank, eg, octane boost or injector as these additives cause a pink colour around the cars spark plugs thus ,it will ruin your spark plugs as all skyline cars use platinium plugs @ around $22.00 per plug so unless you have plenty of money to replace the plugs do not use any additives to your cars fuel tank and likewise do not use additives to the cars engine oil, use only the best fuel available 98 ron. change your engine oil and oil filter every 5000 ks hope to see you and your car at the robertson pie shop cruise on 11/03/12 regards laurie.

Hey Laurie,the expensive plugs are ok on an unmodded liner,but once you get the mod bug there no good.High boost you need to be useing cheap coppers bcpr7es is what i use.There would'nt be many stock skylines around here these days. Genelle. :cheers:

My skyline has just an exhaust ATM, usually got a pod and boost controller on butttttt my daily sold SOOOO SKYLINE IS MY DAILY! until wakie in march then may sell.

Plus I do run platinum plugs :) bout 5,000 kms ago. (screw pulling the throttle body and intake apart every service!!!)

That's some good advice virgin white. I'll defineatley keep that in mind, although I won't be parking it as planed :)

you have a GTT intake, it takes all of 20 mins.. suck it up princess!

My manifold takes close to an hour to do plugs because of throttle cable and solenoids getting in the way..

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
