GTiR use timing chains. and ther will be no crank over at all if the valves are hitting the piston.. i might come have a look wher u located..?

the timing chain is alot stronger (opinionated) than T belts. and dont need changing.

check how much oil u have. perhaps ur mechanic forgot to tighten the sump plug and ur oil leaked out.

sounds like its cranking over. so im guessing its gonna be no spark. they check ur ignitor.? get a compression test

all cars run shit when cold. its just they run a different map and have the auto choke on. u shouldnt drive a car hard untill it reaches operating temps.

No offence but you almost seem as though you have as much mechanical knowledge as the rest of SAU. Since when does an EFI car have a choke?

And whose opinion that a timing chain wouldn't be stronger than a belt?

Sif a chain would be weaker than a belt. I've only ever heard of one timing chain breaking before. Usually people blame the chain for being noisy when it's actually the tensioner that's broken or a guide. Anyway, off topic.

You are, however, possibly on the right track with spark. That would make sense with fuel coating spark plugs. Do you have a spark tester?

don't take this the wrong way, but all that to achieve 300rwkw and not to really use it?

like you said, there's a valid reason: owning too many cars and hardly driving it.

and i'm speaking generally here; but doesn't anyone plan things anymore?

why i want the skyline?

what i want to do with the skyline?

how am i going to achieve the above?

just seems a shame that's all. alot of hard work and no enjoyment.

Yeah Ive had the car for 3 years, I bought it thinking id have it for 12 months like my other skylines.

But it grew on me, but i need to see as life has changed rapidlly for me in the past 6 months.

So in short yes I did think about this, Ive had 3 years with the car, yes it only reached its goal in the past 6 months, but now life has changed and I dont use it nor see it anymore. So I may as well not have it at all.

Its sad but its time to go and move onto something else... Im not giving up the thrill of performance cars/bikes, I still have the S15 and the GSXR...

lol yeah, the new owner was roasted on cb for trying to race someone who was driving a corolla or something and then having a mate moon him out the window when he refused....sounds like an A Class skyline owner!

All skyline owners are jack ass;s

    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
    • To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
