We have tried to contact the owners of SkylinesAustralia to get a link to our site/club hosted, but as yet - no luck/reply. Hence this thread.

We are promoting a new site and spin on the whole Japanese car scene-thing in Australia. Please give me any feedback on the site and any suggestions; preferably, register on the site and keep contributing!

We have the R32 and now R33 factory service manuals, and will have the R34 within days, have the 350Z, 300ZX, S13,S14,S15 and RNN14 GTIR factory service manuals also.

Drift videos, events, gallerys - many cars (not just skyline, we have a tech section for each major japanese performance car/model).

Check it out anyway!

** the skyline section has only been added recently, the flyer for the site is below but it doesnt list 'R31, R32, R33, R34, R35/G35' Skyline when it should. Sorry but it will be updated soon :P The site already has skyline forums and plenty of information.

I'm a bit patriotic to SAU... so I won't be contributing. On the otherhand I do go to GTRCanada/GTP Forums and lurk in GTROCUK to keep an eye on what they're doing... but as far as other AU sites... nothing except Nissansilvia.com (only coz of Ken - gday mate).

Btw, whats a "R35"? Is that some new car Nissan released that no one knows about?

I can see what they're trying to do... get some kind of uniformity going in the AU Import scene... and good on them. But I can't see all the top people from the various "brand name" websites (ie: SAU, Nissansilvia, Ozrotary etc) signing up with as much enthusiasm as they have for their respective websites.

Still, I hope Carscene can carve it's own niche.

Btw, if there are any blatant errors I might come on and straighten things out :(... Evo_Lee might help out too if he's feeling overly generous :rofl:;)

turbocharging6: I've browsed your site a bit, and you may want to let that guy "Troe666" that he's way off about the next Skyline... way off. He's just spreading the same rumours from the last 4 years even though theres heaps of evidence (that he obviously hasn't seen) to prove otherwise...

Either that or just have heaps of wrong info on your site just like r35gtr.com :(

    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home  
    • 1.05 you’ve gotta let it breath 
    • You have to continuously fill it to avoid dry running. Personally the transmissions I've serviced have never been bad enough to justify doing this because it is definitely a pretty complicated and somewhat risky procedure compared to simply draining the pan, measuring what came out, then refilling with the exact same amount.
