he didnt no wat 2 say , so i handed a texter 2 him and said , cross out the R on the badge , and slap a S there mate .

have a nice day lol

the guys face was priceless lol

You real champion!

lol.

Well seeing as we are here: an aquantence of mine with a gtst (told everyone how I paid too much becaues I paid twice what he did and my cars older...) about 2 months after purchasing his cheap skyline stops driving it. Ask him about it one day he tells me "it has 50 psi compression in the front left cyliner and 60 in the front right.."

Everyone calls it a skyliner!

They ask me if its illegal cause its RHD

Some dude was at my house the other day with an aristo i commented on how nice it was and mentioned i have a skyline, i think he got offended he was like "pfftt i have one too"

Driving to Uni it had been wet but was mostly dry, just a few light patches left, didnt think much of it when I cam up to a corner the was completely wet. Started to brake, and there was nothing, locked wheels, and back end started to step out. I wasnt going very fast when I got to the corner but manged to get the car around the corner, half sideways, waiting to clip the gutter.

Just touched the gutter with the back tyre which straightened me out, Im now pointing the correct way facing down the street to which I see a truck pulled over no more than 25 meters away.

The truck diver had just stepped out his vehicle to see a skyline crossed up through an intersection and clipping a gutter, he walks out into the first lane of traffic and points and abuses me. All good I would have taken the abuse but it was his 40L drum of oil that had tipped over and covered the road making it slippery, he just didnt know it yet.

one time.... at band camp

this old asian dude was sitting in his car in a carpark as i pulled in, stopped right near him, looking around for a spot, and he sticks his head out and says >..< "ooooh nice car, haww, japaneeese." i figured he was japanese and said thanks. lol

what a nice old guy.

I don't get any funny comments.. they pretty much all sound like "nice import fkhead", "go back to japan", "get a holden" etc etc

I have had props from a few cougars about my Stagea though :P

Stagea comments are amusing, i've had a few people do the whole 'Oh, it's a skyline wagon, I know all about them', and they proceed to rattle off a bunch of facts, all of which are wrong.

There was also a group of Japanese tourists gathered around the car taking photo's of it once lol.

I live near a Uni and regularly drive past. I have some Jap/Asian students looking at my car :P

Maybe reminds them of home....

I don't get many comments however when I'm at the lights a [insert riced 4 cylinder car/commondoor/fjord/porsche here] will always want to race me ;)

The best if their GF is in the passenger seat checking out my car - if the guy looks like he is getting pissed off - I blow a kiss to their GF

If it's the episode I'm thinking of, it was Hammond. It was the episode where they all

bought crappy rear wheel drive cars and took them to the track, they had to compete with all

the other drivers in their much better cars.

Hammond jokingly said this to a GTR driver to try and psyche him out... there were a bunch

of cuts to all three of them saying stupid things to other drivers to try and put them off.

I watched a very old clip on youtube the other day with Clarkson saying the r32 GTR would beat

an f355 Ferrari in competition

QUOTE(Munkvy)The guy on top gear saying that R32 GTRs brakes sometimes explode!

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?" ... "yeah it's it's it's it's er it's um"

i don't even own a skyline

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
