Hey guys how you all going?

I'm in the process of getting my car finalised and sent down to me! So I'll be one of the few Skyline owners here in Tassie!

I got it imported through a friend here in hobart. It's a Japan import sent down to Sydney for paint job, mag wheels, race seats, body kit and so on. Should get it within the next week or two...

Soundsl ike your going to have one shmick liner on your hands jedinathan. Shouldn't be too hard to tell you apart from everyone else :wassup:

Let us know when you get it and post up some pics :)

Thanks Grandmaster :(

Yeah it should be alright...look out for a green skyline around hobart soon (if you're around the hobart vicinity).

Do you guys usually catch up around here? I mean are we all on the same team here or does it get a bit "oh look at that idiot driving MY car" kinda thing.

I'm an ex-Lancer owner and that's the kinda shit I'd always put up with.

Well mate we all belong to one big happy family and like any family there is your sibling bitchiness and competitivness nature.

All that said more than happy to catch up, help out, admire, bag and just shoot the perverbrial shiat any day with anyone.

Drop us a line when ya get the car and catch up :(

A lot of people make claims.... when will it see the track?

Yeah there has been a lot of big calls of late about people's cars putting out this amount of HP and doing this 1/4 time, would be nice to see all these cars getting around.

Then i can get some idea's of what they have done to produce such fine automobiles :wassup:

i heard about some green skylines in at Griffiths Autos recently is one yours?

I saw a green R32 there the other week, I think it was a GT-R (looked like an RB26). It was slammed, pretty stripped out, emerald green, on deeeeeeeeeeep dish Volk 5 spokes, and had a crazy looking body kit (full guard and quarter panel replacement, GT-wing, vented bonnet, big front bar etc). Looked pretty nuts but I didn't go over it. Had a heap of "Yanack Aero" stickers.

That's the one. Stickers are coming off once the diff has been installed. I wont try and come off like "just another guy" making big promises so I wont say it again. If you guys get to Dave Griffiths in the next few days - ask him about it. He took it for a test run and was blown away.

No - both are my dads. He's getting the diff from one installed into the other (the one with the wide body kit). I think it's safe to say it'll be the quickest Skyline in Tassie.

Thats a big ask... I REALLY WANNA SEE IT NOW...

whats it gonna be, drag/track/targa/street car??

remembering that Rickards has run an 11.06 on his old setup,

To answer the question before I think he plans on using it as a drag car.

I'm a Jedi...and I am your father! :D

Ok so i have heard a bit of talk the last couple of days about this green skyline thats kicking it in good old Tassie. Anyway the way that it was last described to me it sounds a lot like the one that Jeremy had in Melbourne the last time i was talking to him.

Now the one in the pic has a 2.6 in it, as you can see a pretty wild body kit, big wheels and a big arse rear wing.

I DONT KNOW WHY BUT THIS ONE HAS BEEN CHANGED FROM 4WD TO RWD???

and all they had to dull was pull the front axle :kick: .

Anyway jedinathan looking forward to seeing the car, be it your old mans's or your. :(

That's dad's car alright! So the old owner actually converted it from 4 wheel to rear wheel?! That does NOT make sense! Atleast dad is doing the right thing and changing it BACK!

hehe the green machine!

My understanding is thats the way it was imported (alhtough could be wrong). They ripped it all out which doesn't really make sense unless they were trying to save weight or something (but its not like they had too with this car's power output) so i dont see why they didn't just remove the front axle assembly and just use as RWD drive like that.

But yeah your old man is doing the right thing as that thing is a handfull as RWD drive and i recon you will find being 4WD again it will handle alot better and be able to utilise all the power its got. :headspin:

      Rusty roof repair

      Some of the filler.   Also if I look under the top flap of metal it starts looking good quite close to the edge. I get the feeling it doesn't go much further.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      So, I finally started digging at the bit of my roof that was cracking and bulging a bit. Well, it was just thick filler that was covering some pretty bad rust. I didn't find the edges, I was too bummed to keep going.  There are a few holes as you can see. There was just so much filler but looks like no attempt under the filler to prime or use rust converter, just slapped filler on exposed rust.  Anyway, I'm going to take the windshield out and find the edges. I'd love to fix this myself as I'm pretty sure it'll be expensive to get done properly. I was thinking I could just get a cut piece from another E39 and just weld it in place as it would be the right size and shape.  Thoughts?

      r34 Skyline 25 Gt four GTR conversion (ENR34)

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is the territory of the "Stage 1/2/3 Golf GTI/R" or otherwise off the shelf tune with (relative to before) minor mods. It's easier now. Downpipe and Tune and boom, big increases. Stage 1 OEM+ is where it's at. This is where the niche evolved into and it's really easy to see why. It's rare to even NEED to consider changing turbos or going to aftermarket ECU's or building bottom ends for more power. Stage 1-2-3 will get you a LONG WAY. Civic Type R turbo GR Yaris/Corolla Anything with B58 (MKV Supra/x40i) Anything BMW in General Anything Audi in General Any turbo AMG RenaultSport Turbo offerings Korean Elantra N/I30N Ecoboost Mustangs Focus RS? List goes on. I would argue in the future it won't even need to go on... M3P is pretty rapid out of the box...

      There is a way, but it's not with the same cars. You need to find the same vintage of car, that we had. Realistically, that was an affordable car with aftermarket parts around. So what people need to find is a car that had a decent base in its day, and can be modified. They're looking for a car year make of 2010 to 2015 really... Aus could have done it if Holden didn't fold as V8 commodores were cheap, and if Ford didn't get expensive thanks to COVID, then you could cheaply play with FG Barras. Realistically, those are just a bit heavier, four door skylines. I'm sure the US and UK have similar cars they could find.
