Heya boys and gals,

I helped unload my skyline from the container, man, that's an experience! :)

Should be complied and ready to rock in a week or two, then I gotta wait for the

regency booking. Couldn't get in til the 4th of January, dammit! Too many people

in clearing defects, I guess... :huh:

Man, I've got the skyline bug something chronic, only problem is, once I get it,

I'm moving interstate, so I won't be able to take it thru the Adelaide hills :)

I'll keep ya'll posted...

Adrian.

No way! I don't know what it is with people buying 4 door skylines, its a sports car

for crying out loud!!! :)

I see more and more 4 door 32s going around lately, and have absolutely NO

idea why? :)

If I wanted a 4 door, I would have kept the Mazda...

Anyway, thanks for letting me vent that out! B)

Adrian.

well this is the sedan section of SAU...

D'oh! Didn't know only 4 doors are sedans! Thought you can have a 2-door sedan, but I guess we'd call them 'coupes' now, thanks to the yanks! :)

Oh, say, can you see...

      Might import a stagea

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Duncan · Posted

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
