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,

its on the hoist at atm!

looks wild guys. would have been an exciting car to harness in 2wd.

Well i really want to see it now. Sounds like you have a very noice car on the way jedinathan. BUt i ask you are you a real jedi or just an apprentice :headspin:

Remember - it's my dad's, not mine. I'm not so lucky! :wassup:

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:

    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo   
    • Very hard to make out what you mean, is it the squarish hole with redline shockproof (probably) under it? Is that pic from on top of the engine with the firewall to the left of pic and engine to the right? Either way, spray the area liberally with degreaser and try again, maybe circle the part you are worried about
