i don't suppose you know the episode that was in?

anyway mine...

"skylines are so passe"

yes, i've also had the "skylines suck"

"skylines don't have any torque" to which i replied "do you even know what torque is?" ... "it's it's it's it's er it's um"

mmm that brakes exploding thing is doing my head in... i dont understand that at all =

Agreed that a lot of people have skylines, but its for a reason - they are decent cars - 5 billion p platers cant be wrong.

the torque thing i agree with when it comes to the RB20... i cant stand the torque curve of the Rb20 motor, but they are quite robust and cheap to replace....

jeremy clarkson says a lot of weird things on his show that the audience is supposed to just accept.

what do u mean about torque curve? i got 627Nm of torque :)

To be honest the only reason I bought a Skyline is the potential + it is a new style interioir car.

After owning the VS 5ltr 5speed I looked at buying a VLT.

I couldn't bring my self to step back in to the old style interior.

I checked out the R32 skyline. It was good on fuel went ok for a stocker, motor, diff & gearbox are strong (unlike the VS when it came to the diff & gearbox) and had plenty of potential.

Steady mate. I was agreeing with you, but you would probably consider me an "old fart". We aren't all tarred with the same brush you know.

Nah your not old mate id consider over 60 to be the age where you would start going stupid

that was my intended OLD FART AGE BRACKET

you still have 15 years to go, but as your a fellow skyline driver the time will fly very fast (but only on the track) :thumbsup:

The guy on top gear saying that R32 GTRs brakes sometimes explode!

I don't remember that, he does exagerate a lot though, it's part comedy remember, see the review on the monaro, and when he turned the traction control off the car would yell out "You bloody poofta"

*Things idiots say about skylines*: "Anything from the mass media"

hahaha i loved that. i had people from other countries on car video forums pming me with "What does "Puffter" mean?"

anyway back on topic :thumbsup:

PUBLIC ENEMY #1?

It certainly looks like this is where the Skyline is heading in NSW, thanks to a minority of idiots that like driving at 4 times the speed limit etc, etc.

The Skyline is just one of a couple of makes being targeted by our poleticians to be banned from being driven by under 25 driver's and particularly "P" licence holders.

Anybody got any suggestions on how to combat this problem?

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
