Yep... at least it is still a straight-6. You will have a blast.

Hopefully you will get the SL65 as a hand-me-down when he replaces that... :D

Geez, i feel so sorry for you, having to sell your skyline because you have to drive a crappy old 2003 model M3. I'm just glad i don't have to put up with that sort of stuff. My deepest sympathies for you.

But seriously. Good luck to ya, make sure you drive it how it was meant to be driven :wave:

duuuudeee!!! i hate you so much right nyah!! :D

Is she SMG II or 6 speed? Colour? Pics? 19" rims??? :D

That would have to be THE coolest hand-me-down ever. My current car is a hand-me-down too! but it's a '91 Nissan Pulsar hatch, 1.6ltr :( - But i'm stepping up soon as well!

If you're in Melb, make sure you bring her out on a cruise :D

enjoy one of the best engines ever to have graced a performance car :D

Clearly that learning didn't include classes on how to spell though.. but you did learn how to type in an internet forum over the holidays and it was so much fun .. and I could tell all my friends!!!

hey since i am buying my first skylie in janurary r 33 gtst 96 model most likely i was just wondering how fast a standard skylie should run 0 to 100km/h in? how many seconds also i c a lot of people...

mate, you are so full of crap it hurts.. I guess the dream ended before it even begun huh?

Where is this car? You're 12 years old aren't you?

meh lying or not the m3 is not such a great car, we've competed against them a couple of times and kicked their arses with a 33 gtst and teh 31 gtsr.

plus they have the tinniest sounding exhaust I have ever heard.

plus, there's a recall on them to rebuild the engine :D BMW quality eh? NSW Members only: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=52302

or...

"All E46 M3's are now subject to a big end bearing re-call. This entails removing the sump and installing new bearings as well as new bolts and sump gasket. The really funny bit is one size bearing fits all regardless of kilometres travelled. I'm not real sure if this includes the poor bastards that have already had engine changes but I'll bet they are. Glad I didn't pay $130,000.00 plus for such a piece of crap." posted by someone who knows :D

i must agree with you duncan , they are crap . i have seen several put conrods through the side of the block as well as the bearing issue , i guess thats the reason they bust conrods ( they keep drining them with spun big end bearings .

you would expect better when you pay $150k + for a car .

as for just removing the sump and replacing the big end bearings , well what can you say , if the crank is 100% unmarked it maybe ok but in most cases you would have to remove the crank , regrind and use undersise bearings . thats what i would do if it was my car , at the very least pull the crank out , check clearances and if everything is ok then at least linish it .

    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
    • I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?
    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
