Name: Scott, but literally everyone calls me Sciby, including my 2 year old godson and before you ask, it's pronounced "Sky-bee".

Age: 27.

Location: Central Queensland.

Car: Don't ask what I drive now, but just had a loan approved, so I'm about to hunt down an R33.

Occupation: Sysadmin (professional geek) at the same place as Squizz.

No doubt will meet some/all of you when I finally get the new car.

I'm Jay age 61 retired Rn. non retired revhead and PC freek

Hi Sciby.... you still with OCAU?

I've got a 94 GTS25T Silver with a crappy red front bar

Just getting into the drag scene alternating drives with my first born Mick

AKA Lanos Driver.

I've owned 70 or 80 cars.....mostly orphans..... and do most of the work

on them myself.

To the wankers who posted on a recent SDU thread regarding over 50's

drivers, I see more dangerous young drivers than old, especially when

it's raining. :)

ONARUN For sheer driving pleasure the Skyline tops the list followed by Alfa Romeo Berlina 1750, 1750 GTV,Triumph TR3A,BMW 3.0 si,

Marcos V6GT,Hillman Imp (modded front camber makes all the difference)

I wrote off a Honda 9S with 4000miles on the clock at Oran Park.

Then there was Jag E Type 3.8, several M11 3.8 Jags, a handfull of Triumps.... one MD the rest Mk11 PI's, 2x Mk11A Sprites, MGB(big disapointment , that one) Izusu Bellet(new) Honda Civic (new)

Suberu 4x4 waggon(new) Mazda E4100 based motorhome(self built)

couple of minis of course,EH Holden, just long enough to drive it home ,recover from the trauma, and sell it, Citroin something 85model,

and so it goes on.

Right now I've got the Skyline, 82 Range Rover with P76 motor 89

4spd auto and interior+ Recaros. The 3.0 si is going but deregistered,

minus front sidewindows(thanks you pricks) Marcos is a rolling body/chassis awaiting new engine gearbox..........suggestions anyone??

And now these arthritic doddery old fingers are tired of typing so i'll stop

:lol:

It's good to read something about local Skyline owners----a diverse bunch of people joined by a common interest in GTR's.

I have enjoyed breaking away from the conservatism of Porsche ownership and owning a car that is truely wild.

I take my car to Queensland Raceway regularily and it is always a buzz to demonstrate that it is as fast as Porsche 996 twin turbos that have mods and sticky tyres, particularily when the engine in my car is much smaller that the Porsche.

Most embarassing moment: being mistaken for slip's father

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
