I agree compleatly with Gus, we should get together to welcome OZR32GTR (and myself as well).

I meet Andrew (Superfly Skyline) on Monday, and would like to meet a few more of you. It would be nice to have some friends who don't think that a skyline is just a car!

Does anyone have some suggestions as to where, when and what?

My car spends most of its time sitting in the driveway at home or in the carpark at woden and i'm sure it gets very bored with that, so lets organise something.

ohh boo ya, i knew someone would listen to me soon enough!

ohh and please, call me Gus or Angus :cheers:

Edit: maybe soimething along the lines of another canberra SAU photoshoot, meet on a sunday again, take piccy's FIRST (means we'll have all people there) and then head off for a barbie and more piccies. i know this means that the sun wont be the best, but at least everyone will be there for the photo's and we wont have people leaving (for whatever reason that is)

so i guess this leaves a discussion for dates and times etc

my suggestion would be probly Sunday 17, or somewhere around that date??

I'd love to come to one of these meets, but only being an L plater driver and unable to drive my car till late november i'd have to drag one of my middle aged parents along as well if i wanted to bring my car :)

Nothing wrong with middle aged, not all of us are still wearing 'kimbies'....lol, Skylines appeal to everyone [grey power].

On another note, I'll be in Canberra on Sunday 17th October anyway so thats convenient for me.

Yes they do appeal to everyone. I pulled into my local shops the other day and was checking out a grey 34 there, next minute a lady and her son jump out. I was shocked. She then came over and started to chat to me about our cars, was a nice surprise.

I'll be around on the 17th but I'm oncall so not sure if thats good.

Good to get some responses, I work pretty much every weekend, but only till 4 on Sundays and the days are getting longer as we speak so i thought I would throw out the idea of meeting on a sunday evening. We could meet, drive somewhere, throw a football, kick a soccerball or what ever, BBQ some dinner and crusie back with everyones hot plate lights burning.

What do you all think?

and if someone has a decent camera i could get a better pic of my car for my avatar because this one works in theory but the quality is pretty poor.

True, Skylines appeal to all people. My parents love driving my car, and i'm shocked to say are more leadfooted and reckless on the roads than me! My mum had a traffic light drag race the other day. I was in shock. :P I should be in, as long as i'm not working.

the sunday night idea sounds good, maybe on a saturday night insted. but i also think that i'd prefer to wait until summer for a nightime BBQ so maybe a resturant like the APK night we held for tosh awhile back??? i think we save the night BBQ for maybe a christmas time cruise, and we also make it a friday night so we can BBQ at like 6ish, then cruise through braddon or sumthin, i rekon 20+ lines would kill through braddon!

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
