*waits for flames*

You guys are need to sort out what your doing.

I know a lot of people that feel like getting something else totaly outta the water, like a shitty ford ute , but in that case, sell now and DO it, dont wait any longer or think about it. You have to be a car enthusiast to own a skyline, or else youve just got it for transport or showing off.

When I feel its time to move onto another car, I am considering a Mitsubishi 3000GT or as a new car, maybe a decked out Liberty GT. sure they not the lightest or the fastest, but its something different and more upmarket.

If money wasnt a problem, id be looking into a Porsche 911 turbo :P

i totally know how you feel hey!

i dont even hav a turbs skyline and sumtimes i think why do i bother going through so much trouble i mean really, u pay high insurance high running costs your constantly modding it and to make things worse im a poor student so i cant work fulltime coz im studying id hate to think how much richer id be today if i drove a piece of crap or sumthing

but...............ill always love skylines and wud neva sell it except for another 1 :P

and BTW i had my badges ripped off like 2 weeks aftr i got the car from then on i knew that low life scum will always be out there ready to break into your car or scratch it or wateva which is another pain because you always hav to watch where u park my pet hate is people who dont care if they wack there car doors into your car in carparks

I know how you feel driver!

Someone badged my S15 in my own driveway during the day!

I've since sold the car and am probably following the same suit as memphis and buying a XR6-t ute and will be unichipping it as soon as I get it :-)

PS: Get a S15 Kim, you'll love it! I certainly did!

my pet hate is people who dont care if they wack there car doors into your car in carparks

exactly, phucking lowlife don't give a damn about other people's property :hellpisd: . try parking new newer and expensive car like a merc or bm as much as you can, there tend to be more careful not to scratch their car than anythin else. i've got a dark coloured line and right after you washed it u see all this parking dings and dents and find new ones, which pisses u off big time!

by the way if i were to replace my line i'd probably go for a rexy or just an upgrade to a r34 gtt. but still damn those xr6 turbo ute looks hella hot! :Paranoid:

    • I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
    • The old approach was to fill the cylinder/chamber with a length of rope pushed in through the sparkplug hole. The new approach is to connect compressed air to the sparkplug hole and fill it with enough pressure to push the valves up. Doing either of these things with the head on and the engine in the car is a lot less pleasant than doing it properly.
    • Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?
    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
