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:

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!

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      all brand new unit from Tomei, fluid, bearings, etc. Tomei said they call it a 1.5 lsd because its 100 percent lock up under acceleration and 50 percent under deacceleration.  as I mentioned I used their fluid, install and their break-in procedure, (alot of figure 8's) but even when driving straight, or even slowly backing out of garage for first time, (at 2 mph) then driving to and from figure 8 parking lot, each tire in the rear would sporadically grab, skip, bounce, shutter and skip, shutter back a force I could feel causing clutch to slip then grab, at any speed. shaking entire car. I removed unit, since I put stock back in and all is fine, via process of elimination, its something with the lsd unit itself. I wasn't going to beat up the entire car more or change anything else for no reason as I had a feeling something in the lsd itself was wrong as everything was fine before this alone was installed and I rechecked over everything else after first time backing out I suspected an issue. I'll probably sadly already need new tires now just from trying to drive it 5 miles and performing the figure 8 break in. but if someone has any ideas I'm all ears

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      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.
