liner33 Posted July 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 I think most dealers get a detailer in to do the new stuff , its the service washes i tend to avoid Anyway picked it up this morning , 5 hour round trip thanks to accidents , traffic and roadworks but drives very nice , pretty pokey especially off the mark and drives like a much bigger car and its uber responsive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liner33 Posted September 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Got loads of bits and bobs on order but ....... Also fitted a Whiteline rear anti roll bar since there is not one fitted as stock Had the alignment done as well just to make sure its ok for now , thinking of getting a new front anti roll bar and then having the geometry done properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liner33 Posted September 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Popped along to the Action day at Castle Coombe on Saturday and got a nice pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 The car is looking good Why was there no anti roll bar fitted though? How do you find the Whiteline as I'm hoping to get one for mine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liner33 Posted September 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 I'm a fan of Whiteline had their stuff on the Skyline and Evo before this. I was surprised there is no rarb stock but it's a solid axle so I guess it's not as essential Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vipercar93 Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Nice =) Lookin good there, I like that green. It stands out but isn't gaudy. That run a supercharger and a turbo charger? Not bad for the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parthiban Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Looks really nice slightly lowered, planning to do much else to it or keep it mostly standard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liner33 Posted September 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Fairly stock engine wise , got a few more goodies ie wind deflectors and mudflaps and stock parts/ options like storage bins under the seats, a sunglasses holder also thinking of retro fitting Bluetooth and climate control as both appear to be around €400 all in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liner33 Posted September 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Some wind deflectors arrived this morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Looking really nice..... Did you notice any change in the handling after fitting the ARB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liner33 Posted September 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Yes it seems more sure footed on the rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 You know there was already a ARB in the rear subframe, albeit a small one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liner33 Posted September 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 No i didnt , i had expected to see one under there though , its a extremely common mod.When stock the car had a tendency to feel like it was going to lift the inside wheels on even modest cornering , especially downhill with less weight on the rear , whether the arb or lowering springs impacted this most i dont know but it does feel more confidence inspiring on the rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 If you look into the rear beam, the front of it is hollow and in side is an ARB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liner33 Posted May 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 Wow cant believe its been almost a year , not quite hit 5000 miles yet but gave her a clean today well full detail really which I finished off today with a second coat of Supernatural Hybrid and then the Supernatural acrylic spray on top Still enjoying it , wish it was a little better on fuel the best I've had to date is 38mpg , seem to get 33-35 average and maybe 28mpg around town , I do enjoy it though and stretch its legs on a regular basis so my driving style doesn't help but it does go very well truth be told I reckon up to 70 or 80 it might be ahead on the Skyline The black roof suffers due to woodpigeons sitting on the TV aerial and crapping on it so i gave that some extra tlc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky Red Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 How is it on oil? I've heard some pretty bad stories. Hopefully, yours is a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liner33 Posted May 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 It's fine but its got plenty of warranty its probably used 1.5-2 litres so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
