Hi Everybody.

So I will be hiring out a workshop and 2 hoists for a large portion of the day - 6 Hours.

We will be incorporating this into a social get together and group meet, BBQ and Drinks,

basically put on a nice show for us.

The whole point of this event is to meet other enthusiasts, and have 2 Hoists for 6 Hours, to be able to get various

things done on our cars, from small things like general inspection, oil/fluid changes, boost controllers, intercooler upgrade, etc

to changing parts over while being to give each-other a hand. This is a great way to expand your knowledge and

repair your car or simply just meet and chat.

I will have Skyline R32, R33, R34 Skyline engine service documents on hand for quick reference.

Basic information :

- Location in Malaga starting around 9AM, will be on a Sunday.

- BBQ and Drinks will be available at $2.50/dog and $1.5/can

- 2 Hoists to share, floorspace available, 200pc toolkit, impact guns

- Photos/videos of cars.

To make this work we need participation and also help from other guys here as these things do cost money and time to organize, we would be sharing time on the hoist depending on job required, if you want to work on your car the prices will be :

- 4 People at $65 each for the day includes all tool hire, oil disposal

- 6 People at $45 each for the day inclues all tool hire, oil dispoal

I will be probably limiting the number of cars to work on to around 6 so we all get decent time and space but I may be flexible.

To come and meet and greet is free ofcourse.

Everybody is free to lend a hand to everybody.

In order to get numbers, please reply and mention whether you would be coming along for just meet and greet, or if you want to have your car in the shop, please mention too and the type of work required and also hoist use if required.

Thanks.

I have not set a date yet but it would be a good time in advance as we need to get interest first.

Oil change would be pretty straight forward so long as you know the correct quantity and type, I have a basic transfer/suction pump which is good for this.

Excellent I like cake, will really be nice to have desert so that is very awesome of you.

I am trying to make this a good value for money experience and because of that we do need members assistance as I can't do everything myself.

If anybody has some fold out chairs they can bring along it would help.

T_Revz when I confirm the date I will take into account people who are shift workers.

If you guys have friends with Skylines who are not here please get them on here

get the hype going and word out

Great work in organising an event! I'm very keen to join (depending on date) , not needing anything done on mine but more than happy to help on others (no idea re sequential tho)

Will forward on the details to a couple of skyline guys who aren't on here much anymore

I'll need a date to confirm as I'm a shift worker, and I'd only be a spectator or help others

Same as Trev, happy to come and talk shit as I have access to hoists and tools at work. But keen to meet some new peeps.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
