Thanks all....

Yeah, dezz i havent driven the Monaro since Heathcote hahahahaha its just not me and now that the GTO is haning around the monaro isnt looking so tasty anymore!

The rims are Lenso Muse in a 19... 18's just didnt fill the guards enough.. the photos dont do the car justice, in the flesh it looks mint..

No track work for me!!! I learnt my lesson once so if i do get track fever again ill be on the look out for a cheap fun track car...

Its a shame you had the drama you did. Its always a risk. What year model is it? Does it have the 5spd or 6spd, i seem to remember the late model ones havign 6 spds?

I drove this car :(, and it is trully awesome.

I would even say that off the line this may have have beaten Shivam's 32GTR, b4 his mechanic troubles, for the first 100m. As Dave stated the RB26 has more up top.

This car really surprised me and Dave made the right choice, the amount of low end torque is incredable, especially for a modified twin turbo car.

i learnt to drive in a GTO when i was 16... my dad had a 91 model with a lot of porsche running gear in it...

awesome cars... so cheap in NZ too which is good :( until u go to resell it.

oh and does it have the leather interior with all the gadgets?? ie adjustable mufflers and all the other gizmos

No leather but has all the gadgets, like adjustable mufflers, cruise control, Active Aero which is fun (at 80kph the front spoiler drops as u can see in the photos and therear spoiler moves)

Ill be with you all at the next drag day to see how she goes!

Launching from a standstill is just rediculous witin it, fantastic traction, even in the wet.. im keen to see my 60 foot times.

Have to agree ... after seeing this car in person, the car is mint!!! Very sleek looking car in person thats for sure.

and DAMN those wheels look good in those pics!! :)

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
