Can I know what sort of exhaust is that? It's look nice

It's a RacePace system. They build them in house and they are spec'd to each car as required.

Mine is a full stainless 3.5" system. It uses a high flow cat, tuned length headers and V-Band connectors.

You can have them with standard headers and welds, but, I figured if it was getting done, I'd go all out.

We popped the car on a trailer last night to save time.

We missed a stop for diesel. Then drove on to the next, 12kms before we got there;

Be still my heart, that is one beautiful car. Puts down some serious power too. Looking forward to following this car and its undoubtedly bright future.

Thanks mate. Hoping to get it out to more meet ups, shows and cruises. Unfortunately other things take up most of my time... :(

I can relate, with getting married here in 4 months and planning the wedding, working 60+ hours a week to pay for car and parts on top of other bills, not too much time for anything right now. But somehow these cars keep calling me back, as I'm sure yours will too.

Saw this at GT-R Festival. Awesome that you brought it all the way to Sydney for the event. Keep enjoying the car. [emoji4]

Thanks man. We just bought a car seat for the little one today. So hopefully it can be fitted and we'll use the car a heap more.
Fastest 2 year old in her family that's for sure!

I've been quiet here, because, I've been lazy regarding my car.

I've done a couple of very minor things with the car:

  • Sold the old exhaust to a member here for what I hope was an appropriate amount.
  • Installed a baby seat in the back for my little girl to ride around with me. (*Side note, is anyone interested in a "how to" article on install a child's car seat? Obviously, I would take no responsibility, but i'd be happy to document what I did for my daughters seat).
  • Went to a birthday party for a young skyline enthusiast. Took him for a ride with his uncle and made lots of choo choo noises for him to enjoy. This was a part of a facebook group, so I was pretty apprehensive, but turned out to be a great day and met some other really generous Skyline owners.
  • I've just bought on ebay a different parcel shelf for my car. This one has speaker holes and grills (and looks to be an OEM item). It was $100 in total (including shipping). Considering I couldn't find any others, i couldn't decide if the price was right. And then I got anxious and bought it anyways.

Here's a couple of pictures:

It's the little things that make a huge difference

You're right. With the car seat I can use the car for commuting rather than just straight up drives to nowhere.
And having a decent stereo will also be good!

Haha, yes, I'm in the process of upgrading the stereo in mine.
Have you thought about modifying your suspension? I know you've said it's very harsh, it can be somewhat comfortable and still maintain great handling.
I'm just trying to find time to start fitting some of the parts I bought.
I need to start another thread, I'm helping put together my old GTR to get it back on the road [emoji848] it never ends lol

@old man 32 I've considered it. But I have a feeling it's going to see some track time in the near future. Plus I haven't had time to research my options. Ideally I would want a setup that could be a stiff and damped as it is now and the ability to soften it up from there... I just have to work out all the numbers (especially the $$$)!

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
