My oh my, what the hell is that? Turn it back into scrap metal... oh wait it already is.

It looks kinda like a lexus IS200 haha.

I'm slightly ashamed to be australian for jus this moment... but FPV is still on the right track so thats whats gonna save us!

I love the looks, would have prefered a more Euro look though.

Looks like an Astra. Will be interesting to see how HSV will enhace the supposed better handling the ve is meant to have.

HSV's will have their own magneride suspension - like those used on Ferrari, AudiTT, corvette and CTS-V (only cars with this type of suspension).

Aparently excellent suspension for great handling without compromising comfort.

HSV has first crack, since this component was designed by Delphi and GM. Ferrari found out about this technology during the GM-Fiat tie up.

Not as bad as everyone thinks. If you can afford to run a skyline then you can definitely afford to run those big V8's. It has similar consumption to other performance cars like the WRX, better than an RX8 (IMO) and definitely better than my nissan.

Like turbo cars, fuel consumption really depends on how you drive. Led foot = empty wallet, feather foot = boring guy :huh:. If you can’t pay to play might as well buy a 3cyl 1L car (like everything).

Good thing is the development of LPG V8's. Several have already done this, apparently not too hard to tune, no noticeable drop in power (using newer LPG systems), and cleaner running. There’s a long discussion about this on an ls1 forum.

    • 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
