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,

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:

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By Hendasto · Posted

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      By Hendasto · Posted

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!

      Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.

      https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
