has any of you NA skyline owners had any embarassing moments with your car. for example someone dragged you in a car that's slower than a GTST and beat you. or do other drivers pull up next to you or drive past you thinking it's turbo and just backed off.

my old GTS used to look identical to a GTSt Type M (being a Type S).. was debadged and had wheel nut covers on the BBS rims, so no one could tell that it was a non turbo straight away. This meant half the road going dickhead population that drives riced up underpowered cars didn't want to attract my attention, and the other half of the road going dickhead population wanted to prove to me that their V8/turbo/supercharged car was faster than my "turbo" car.

Now... FYI we don't allow threads that involve street dragging. So I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you mean dragging on a drag strip... if you don't want to be embarassed, just pick someone to do the run who's got a car of similar specs to you. 6cyl VN's for example.

...the lights at the drag sanctioned race track right? hmmm.

my first skyline was a nice NA gts 33 (with 400r front and fully rice GTR badge, lol), sounded hell loud so people would hear me coming from a mile away.

one saturday night pulled up at a set of lights next to an immaculate white S15 with two very good looking blonde girls in it, me and a mate in my car.

gave a little nod, and got a smile and nod back, then lights turned green.

pulled away slowly then gave a little squirt as we both entered the freeway, and she in turn put the foot down and promptly whipped past me with ease.

not so embarassing in itself, except that we actually saw them again later and my mate tried to explain that my "gts-t" was in bad need of a tune... *bitchslaps idiot liar mate*

      rb20de neo +t conversion - boost pressure sensor needed?

      By Neostead2000 · Posted

      Agreed with the rest. Also at least based on my own research, there are no readily available stock or close-to-stock RB20Neo maps that you could download and use as a base were you to buy a complete standalone ECU, and the regular 20DET maps don't really work well so you'd need to take it to a tuner if you have no experience. I installed an AEM V2 on my 20Neo+T and had lots of headaches until I got it to run and idle properly but I've yet to remap it fully. You have to start building up your timing and fuel maps entirely from the ground up; even the ones for a 25 didn't work at all.

      GOT SUM's RB34

      By klutched · Posted

      Got some decent progress after work yesterday and also today. Got the ECU all wired and passenger side interior all back together. Kept the wiring up nice and high to avoid people standing on it. Got the surge tank relays rewired and tidied up the pump wiring and cut a hole to bring the cables through.  I found a spare USB cable I had lying around so I decided to cut it up and see if I could use it for my CAN 1 bus. Turned out one of the pins I needed was to the shield of the cable so i cut it up and desoldered it and resoldered to the correct pins.  Had the issue with the powersteering hose hitting the A/C compressor and fan shroud. I pulled the bracket off and modified it to remove the front mounting point which now clears it all. Will keep an eye on it to see if theres any signs of fouling once it's up and running.

      My BMW 335i

      So today I went well outside my comfort zone (again) to replace my valve cover gasket.  I have had a big leak over the exhaust leading to a lot of smoke and smell every time I drove it. The leak was in the rear driver's corner.  The job wasn't hard as such, just a bit finicky and time consuming.  The old gasket was rock hard and broken right where the leak was.  The leaky corner had so much sitting oil in it.  The good news to my amateur eyes was no buildup or sludge under the cover. It all looked fairly nice in there.   I haven't started it yet. I ran out of light and body when putting the coils and injector loom back in. Probs only 30min left for the morning.  I was so nervous putting the cover back on, I must have lifted it 5 times to make sure the gasket was still seated properly. God it's going to be nice to be leak free and not make other traffic light queuers think my car is about to explode.
