hi everyone

my name is jazz im fairly new to SAU but have had my fair share of imports over the last few years, i started out with a 1996 NA jza80 supra which was an amazing car and great for my first import while still on my P plates. Unfortunately while traveling to work one day i was sitting at a give way sign and a driver of another car passed out at the wheel of his car and crashed into me leaving my supra a complete write off, leaving me in a large amount of debt and unable to work full time i managed to save enough to buy a 1uzfe lexus soarer which was alot of fun and a nice drive but still wasnt right for me and given my finacial position wasnt ideal i ended up selling it and leaving cars for some time :(

following that i finally got bitten by the bug and bought my first nissan, i bought a heavyily modified 180sx sitting on around 250kw it was an awesome car and given my love for drifting this was ideal however still being in a shit position with money when this car broke which it did over and over again fixing it rapidly became a problem it ended up sitting in my shed on bricks i eventually did a swap with a guy for his 180 it took my about 4 days to realise this was a stupid decision and pulled the poorly built CA18DET to pieces and gave the shell away.

at this point i tried to be somewhat more responsible and decided to wait untill i was free of debt to buy another car, after months of looking at every different import i could think of i came across a 4 door r32 that was advertised on here the second i saw it i wanted one but given my love for power i didnt think an rb20det would suit me or my driving style and after driving my brothers type m r32 knew i needed more so i kept looking and by chance came across a NEO RB25DET R32 four door i was debt free had money and was sold on it.

the first photo of it is the day i got it in QLD

this second was the typical overcast first day back in canberra

only three days after having my new 4door i managed to hit a wombat /facepalm

while i waited for my new front bar to arrive so i could send it to the shop for painting and fitting i stripped the boot and put in a rear strut bar

the day the front bar showed up my new indicators showed up aswell so i fitted them

a day or 2 after that i got my car back from J Racing who had done a great job of painting and fitting the new front bar

so that was the first 2 weeks with my new skyline finally decided to go for a drive during the day and was having a great time this car gets better everytime i drive it, however after driving i decided to go through the car wash while i was sitting there the car started struggling and moments later stoped :( i was not able to start it again and am currently stumped as to why the fuel pump is working fine no noticeable leaks in anything, i have a feeling it has something to do with the coilpacks but at the moment it tries to kick over but wont kick all the way. i have checked everything that i can think of and still no luck i have had to book my car into ESP but am a bit worried as they wont tune nistune ecu's and i have a feeling after they fix whatever the problem is is will need a re tune, wait and see i guess.

as far as mods go at the moment it has

NEO RB25DET

GTR INTERCOOLER

ALLOY RADIATOR

FULL 3INCH EXHAUST

NISTUNE ECU

CAM GEARS

ELECTRONIC BOOST CONTROLER

WHITELINE SWAY BARS

HSD COIL OVERS

FRONT AND REAR CAMBER ARMS

RB25 GEAR BOX

BOSCH FUEL PUMP

FULL 2-WAY LSD

NEW DRIVE TRAIN

HICAS LOCK BAR

REAR STRUT BAR

17X8 DRIFT TEKS

ALL GAURDS ROLLED

TINTED WINDOWS ALL ROUND

GOAL

i have huge plans for this car first thing is to get it running again then add a few more exterior mods like carbon bonnet and new wheels and rubber will be here on monday i bought a set of 17x9+15 zenkais with stretched 215/40 rubber, after that ill be moving onto power mods hopefully going for atleast 300kw and add more suspension mods along the way

any advice would be appreciated, otherwise stay tuned to watch me spend heaps of money and enjoy all of it hahaha

    • 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.
