*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:

    • Welcome buddy! Plenty on here and YouTube. What are your plans for it? Good luck with the Rwc and Rego bud!
    • Love this so much! Please post a photo when you have a bike on the trailer.  I was a little bit worried about having a tow bar on the Skyline, but having it hidden behind the number plate is genius
    • Came here to say, put all the wiring from the new motor and gearbox in that you can, then throw the stock ECUs in the bin, and get an aftermarket ECU. Should be pretty easy if you can use a multimeter and read a wiring diagram to then use a PNP aftermarket ECU to suit the motors wiring loom, and make the minimal changes you will to get it to work in with the body loom (If any). This will mean you can very easily circumvent/bypass the Park/Neutral start disable switch, and get everything running really easy!
    • If the roof is dual skinned the whole way, IE, there's a "top" metal piece, and a "bottom" metal piece, to slow it down as much as you practically can, you should be able to get an attachment for a spray can/your spray gun, where it is a long, thin flexible hose, and when you're "spraying" it is spraying it in every direction possible. The I'd get that, and feed it through the roof as much and as far as you can. It's basically like fish oiling the car, but you're soaking it in rust converter. Then do the fix like Murray has described having cleaned up the existing metal as much as you humanly can. I'd also throw as much rust converter on that exposed metal before putting the fibreglass/metal filler over everything.   As for welding a replacement in. I've owned my own MIG welder for about 10 years. I've also worked in an industry doing MIG welding for a job for about 3 months dead straight, and we were doing 11.5 hour work days 5 days a week, plus a Saturday 6 hour day. (I then moved over to running the massive CNC plasma as I could understand the technology, and work with the main guy out there). I also f**k around with my welders a bit at home. So what I'm saying here is, I've probably got more hours on a MIG gun than you'll manage to get under your sleeve doing home sorts of jobs over the next 5 years. I also have an ACDC TIG that I got myself a year or two back. I've got a short amount of experience on the TIG only. My home MIG is also presently setup for doing thin sheet metal. Unless I didn't care about how that roof looked, and I just wanted a functional metal roof, and it being out of alignment, warped, and bowed, I would NOT attempt a roof replacement UNLESS I could do it as a whole panel like Murray described where the spot welds were.  Welding has this REALLY annoying thing, where if you want something to be perfectly square, unless you can clamp that thing to damn perfection (Welding fixture table), it is NOT going to be square, so you start to learn, the type of metal you're working with, how thick it is etc, and weld in VERY specific ways, and by knowing how YOU are as a welder, so that as the welds cool, the metal work pulls itself into place. If you want to see some cool tricky shit done, Bennets Customs is an Aussie guy, and he mentions a guy a lot call "Kyle", who is from "Make It Kustom". Watch some of their welding videos, especially on sheet metal. You can use the welder to shrink the steel in, and you can also use the welder to stretch the panel out. When you have the skill level that I have, you can shrink the metal in and out... But never on purpose like those two guys do. You just manage to f**k it all up. Then I smack it around with a hammer till it sits lower than I will want it too, then I shove filler on top and then pray to deitys that I can sand it into some form of sane shape that doesn't look like a dog has taken a shit, after eating a tonne of pumice stone... I'm all for DIY, and for learning, and please, feel free to give it a go, but be aware, you need to live with the consequences of how time consuming it is to do, AND that it's going to look no where near as good as what you can make it look with just some filler now. Oh AND, even once you replace it, it's like to still rust away again eventually, because you'll have missed putting primer and paint on some part of the newly welded in sheet metal, or against part of the existing metal you couldn't get to...   Oh, and to weld all that in, you will need to pull the window out, and strip at least the roof and A Pillars of interior trim and wiring. You'll then need things like the big fire proof/weld spatter proof mats to lay down, OR you'll end up needing to strip the ENTIRE interior to avoid sending it all up in a ball of flames. If you want to see how annoying sheet metal is to weld, head to bunnings, buy there 600x600 1.6mm mild steel (Not GAL!) sheet, and cut a few pieces, and try and weld them together. Then understand, 1.6mm sheet is nearly 50 to 100% THICKER than the cars sheet metal.   The photos I posted before, I'm replacing with 1.2mm thick mild sheet, and it's very easy to blow through both the original steel (Especially if I hit an area that should have probably been cut out a bit more) or straight through the new sheet metal. And I'm doing the floor, which can be hidden easily, and doesn't matter how pretty I make it, as long as it's damn strong! I'm also doing it in a 4WD, that has seen many off road trails, and doesn't need to look that pretty ever
    • This sounds like a perfect excuse to install a Haltech R3.
