yes.. there are many ways to do it... Some part numbers are shared however, so that would need to be noted.

I think the FAQ is a great idea too .. will require some research.. and time to massage into a comprehensive resource, but when its there, will take out much of the traffic and frustration out of the forum. The same things get asked over and over, and are all available in older threads. It just takes somebody to traul through and decipher all the crud out.. and you have a great resource.

Since I thought of the idea about 50 questions have already popped into my head that could be answered in a short paragraph each.. You'd break it down into sections so you'd have "classic skylines", R31, R32, R33, Stagea, etc and as much "need" to know information as you fit in each. Like "what is the difference between the 4 door R33 and 2 door R33?", "what is required to fit an RB26dett into a RWD?".. you could even have a parts locator service (names numbers in each state).. man the list goes on!

Hey guys you'll be very happy to know that i am just about to receive a cd that has shit loads of part numbers on it for most skyline models. I'm having difficulty getting hold of the guy who is supposed to copy it for me but when i get it off him I'll share the wealth with you guys.

Personally I'd like it to be what the heading states: Parts Number Section.

If we start going the DIY turn your r33gtst into a GTR I think it will get pretty complicated! Opinions will most probably differ - I doubt there's that many people here that will end up doing such big conversions.

Maybe if people want this we can make a conversions section too?

My dad and I have installed rb20det's into two cars now - a vH commodore and a r31 skyline so we'd have something to add.

I was reading through the general maintenance section a couple of days ago and saw another bloke post some gtr part numbers. These will end up going to page two etc etc until you have to do a search through all the other threads to get what you want.

Anyway - that's my opinion - a part numbers section, with the guidelines predator posted-up - edit all the BS out.

Cheers

Anyone else have any opinions?

It'd be good to get this section underway - or is it just a silly idea??

Definately not a silly idea, would be rather helpful.

After much frustration, I have only found one person at Melb nissan spares to be helpful, polite, know what hes talking about and give correct info (rather than 'no we dont have it, it needs to be imported from JP').. that'd be 'nitton', nice guy.

Anyway.

I would agree with a sticky thread for each model.. either in general maintenance or a subforum??

Otherwise there can be a general sticky thread for people to add part numbers, and an.. (excel?) file to download for each model and someone can maintain them?

An excel file would probably be best.. and column(s) can be added to the likes of "can interchange with r32..- no" "r32gtr - yes" ... etc etc... make it quicker to search for parts also. BLAH BLAH.

      R32 GTR Limp Mode?

      By Nydt · Posted

      Hey y'all, I have a completely stock 1991 R32 GTR, yesterday I took my car out and went for about a thirty minute drive. It was fine on the way there but when returning home I think the car might have gone into a limp mode. I was cruising in 5th gear around 130km/h, the hicas light came on and there was a significant loss of power. About a minute later I hear a thump, the car starts driving normal again and is fine the rest of the drive back. This is the second time its happened, same as now it was fine on the trip there. On the way back it had the hicas light on but that time I would feel the power going in and out before hearing the same thump and it being fine.  I have no idea idea what causing this, but if anyone has any ideas it would be great as a start chasing the cause of this. Also I can provide more details if needed. Thank you

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      When sanding across a convex panel, you need to sand, as much as possible, at right angles to the curve. If the panel is compound convex curved (ie curved in both directions) then you are SOL and have to use "craftsmanship" to get it right.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      This sounds like me. And then why I leave shit that I had previously hobbled together broken. Lately I've changed strategies to "If I don't want to justify the money on decent stuff, I'm not going to justify hobbling it together". I'm still for DIY, but DIY it properly is more my thing. However, I am terrible on not setting up backups still... Which reminds me, I need to go backup some of my work VM machines... Oh, it's also why I've become a lover of building things into Docker Containers... Then I just need a machine that can run docker, and bam, that specific system is up and running, on the specific versions of everything I need for it to run (In the event a change in required software version breaks something else). Also, these days, my steep learning curves are spent with work related stuff, and on very varied projects, that my want to do other random projects like build a dashboard for my own car has dwindled away to "I just want the car running", which is my current PITA, as I'm getting the Landcruiser usable again, and it has just been non-stop the past 6 to 8 weeks of buying parts, and working on it. Oh, and tools that are meant to be fit for purpose... And they break, because 25 year old 4WD decides it's stronger... But by the time I have it ready to roll back out the drive way, nearly all the stuff in it will have been touched and serviced, so the damn thing better give me NO FREAKING ISSUES, for at least the next 50,000KMs! Just redone whole front of the motor, and resealed the up top stuff, replaced a bunch of things getting perished, new timing belt done, water pump, lower timing cover (Toyota diesel engine runs timing GEARS for the bottom half the motor, and a timing belt from halfway up to the top), new harmonic balancer, fix up the alternator, new thermostat, full swivel hub rebuild, new bearings and seals front and back, steering box rebuild, new battery, and today, it turns out a rear shock has let go, so four new shocks are about to go on order, and that will leave me with after the next run of work, to see if I need to order just a brake caliper re-seal, or if I'll need new pistons in them too. Oh, and I'll finish welding in the new floor sheet metal shortly too. Presently I just want it finished already... But once all the above is done, I still need to fully service diffs, gearbox, transfer, and motor. Then flush and bleed the clutch, and flush and bleed the brakes. But enough about our waffle, back to Duncan's heat problems... I think for Duncan he just gets a thermoswitch, and a manual switch to run some water misters. Thermo so it's only on above certain temps, and the manual switch so it can be turned off even if it is above certain temperatures. IE, switch on for "I'm now on track", then it doesn't need any "smart" computers that might try and do things wrong. And switch the thing off completely on the cool down lap, so when he stops in pits, there's not even a possibility of it dripping any water out to get him in trouble.
