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:

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
    • Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
    • Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
