Glad to have met you on the SAU cruise mate. Good work on the updates, your car looked great and I'll make sure to bring mine next time round it has no issues.

RBN1 from bitter experience - drive it as much as you can.

took my dirty stinking datsun to Sandown (drive it about 4 times a year) and in the first session developed a misfire (coils/ ignitor).

thing is these things are simply getting old and maintenance starts to add up...

Front right driveshaft. Oh well RPM did mention that they needed looking at last time it was in.

easy fix that brother. go down to your local Repco dealer and ask for an outer CV boot for an R32 Skyline (they will match it to a Toyota Part no.) - they cost $13 bucks (by two to make with worth your while) and comes will all the grease and clips (although I believe the clips don't actually fit so retain the orginal ones or just buy them new) and you should be all good to go.

I had to replace mine last month and thats what I did.

the man loves his genuine tho....

i found it easier to just replace driveshafts man. yea they are more expensive, but you know youve got brand new cvs etc on there.

plus they are much easier to swap than changing a boot.

replace drive-shafts ok................then add GTR tax and your really getting reamed.

the left outer boot is much easier than the right outer boot to undo as you only have six bolts to do undo and yank it out.

peace of le cake

Car is f**ked. I would just replace the entire car. Easier than doing anything on a GTR....... :whistling:

Considering the age of the car i would weigh up replacing the whole shaft. don't want to go back in 6 months.

edit: keep in mind i has no idea on how much that $$$$$

Although I understand what you are saying Anf.

If the drive shaft is in good condition there is no need to replace it. Just ensure it is promptly cleaned and lubed before whacking it back in (kinda like a dirty hooker really)

10 bucks says he swaps the whole shaft lol

its what? 300 bucks? all new, all genuine....

you know me fellas, im all about cheap and nasty. but OP is not.

LOL.

Spoke to RPM this morning about replacing it. It's due for a service anyway :)

I almost forgot to put up why I was under the car in the first place.

Decided to pop the side skirt off to see why one of them has popped out and get them both replaced with the genuine N1 3 Piece items i'd bought a while ago.

Ended up being a good news, bad news moment.

Good news was, no Rust under the skirts.

Bad news was:

Front left jacking point : No wonder the skirts popped out. The sills collapsed a fair bit from what looks like, careless jacking. Have straightened the seam however, will take it to a panel beater to get it pulled out after next service.

Top view. Skirt can't adhere to the body as the sills bent in, towards the car.

Pesky GTR's.

Hmm forgot I had even ordered these until it arrived this morning.

I think I have a problem. Note to self - no more late night scotchs and sitting in front of the computer.

Carbon fibre coated interior pieces.

Hey rbn1,

Would you mind looking at the part numbers on the front section of the 3 piece side skirts? The small sections that attach to the bottom of the front guards. I need to order some from nissan and haven't had much luck on Google.

Thanks mate and keep the updates coming!

    • 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.
