Well the skyline went in the trading post today and 4 people had came and looked at it by 4pm and 2 made reasonable offers that im gonna think about so anyway it looks like the skyline will be going sooner than later.

I just wanted to thank everyone fror all their help. Everytime i needed to know something i found help in a matter of minutes on these forums. Special thanks to Jason (V8Skyline Man) for offering to help me out by ofering to do some engine work for me for next to nothing and James (MELV) for taking me for a spin in my first GTR and helping me install gauges.

Thanks everyone for all the cruises which were really fun and i am going to miss alot, and maybe down the track i can join the imfamous liners once again.

beau: you will have best luck on trading post, and carsales for getting people to look at your car. I had luck with both.

I don't think i had one genuine enquiry on here when I went to sell the R33. Most here come to simply to look at the pictures in the trading section, and are not genuine buyers.

I sort of stuffed up when i sold it though.

When the bloke (who eventually bought it) came and first looked at it he asked me did i get it sprayed and did i buy the rims and i have no idea why but for some reason i said yes and then straight away thought to myself why did i say that? anyway for the rest of the time i had to go along with saying that i had it sprayed and i bought the rims when in actual fact i bought it like that. Although before anyone else says i lied bla bla bla its the only thing i stuffed up on and have no idea why i said yes in the first place and everything else to do with the car was genuine and true.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
