I know there isn't a reason for me to post this as we all know the afterburners can't be beaten. But just for boredoms sake, name the best car you have owned and give a reason why.

Me: '95 Nissan Skyline GTS25T

Why: I've only ever owned 3 cars ('85 Laser, '97 MX-6) but I can't imagine anything giving me as much joy as the Skyline has. Aus spec cars are toys as far as I'm concerned.

You know, I did skydiving last year and there was a disclaimer that went something like this. 'We are not held responsible for loss of quality/enjoyment of life' What this means is that once you try skydiving, everything else will seem s**t compared to it. Nissan should have a disclaimer like this. :mrgreen:

Can you imagine owning a Ford (unless its a Mustang -drool-) or a Holden after having a Skyline. I sure as hell can't.

Ive only ever had 2 cars....

My first car was an '88 AE82 Corolla, and even though i liked it, it wasnt really me.....

Then i bought the R33 and am loving it...definately the best car i ever had...

Ive driven my brother's '93 Celica....and even though it went OK, i didnt like it.....so the Skyline beats all !!!!!!

Speaking of high insurance fees... I am currently in the market for a new car. Being at uni, $5,000 per year premiums are out of the question. Ive found the NRMA will insure a driver with 5 years of clean driving history as a 50% no claim bonus driver. Fantastic for me, but I want to get a car that the NRMA isnt going to like. So if anyone knows of an insurance company that meets the following criteria, please email me [email protected]

Cheers,

Ben

1) Must insure imports

2) Must allow modifications

3) Must base driver rating on years of driving, not on years with policy held.

4) must insure for agreed value

Yeah, Christian told me about all the guys he has used in the past, or is currently using. I just cant seem to find one that does all the things I want. I can find some that do things, and some that do others. Maybe if I could ask them all to join forces, and make a special company just for me................

my fastest car was myold group 3 brock 13.5 @ 105 mph

my skyline is coming a close second and I should have it in to the low 13's if I do all the mods I want. then it will be the best.

the toughest as it standing abuse was my 450 sel benz they are desigen to get you home regardless as long as you have fuel try driving 20 klms with no exhaust manifold!1

or no oil in the transmission on a dead fuel pump it always got us home but fark it was dear for parts 3k for an exhaust manifold s/hand 1500

got one made for 800 ;_)

    • Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.
    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
