Hiya..

I'm just trying to see if anyone on here was going up the freeway on friday night/ sat morning ( i think) and "encountered" a white Jaguar.

Nothing nasty... i just want to put your mind at ease.. ;)

LOL. Sounds like someone must have got a shlacking :thumbsup:

hehe..

i just thought i'd post incase someone was feeling upset that their car may be lacking power....

fear not... you probably had a third the CC's of the Jag.. :ermm:

it's not my car.. i just heard it from a mate...

I am guessing that the car has been modified a bit, or the skyline wasnt trying because there is no way a stock Jaguar Mark II could keep up.

Fot those who are interested:

Built: October 1959 and continued in production until 1967

1/4 Mile 16.3 seconds

161.9 KW at the flywheel

Twin SU HD6 carburetors - and u think turbo lag is bad (LOL)

weight - 1450kg - a little less than a house.

So again my guess is your friends Jag must be modified if it could leave a skyline behind. (or he was lucky not to be caught by the new drug stops) It may have the 3.8L motor but it also weighs 2 times as much and puts out less power. This is really a luxuary can not a sports/performance car, though in its day it was no slouch.

My grandpa has a couple minter Mk2's...no V8's in there but they are sweet old school rides. He's over 80 but doesnt mind giving his Cooper S a bit through Norton Summit! Reckon the 7L would be pretty thirsty with a bit of loud pedal action....

I had a mini for 3 years before I bought my GTR and i know I'll have to own another mini soon...the old school is where it's at!

    • 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
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi
