I just wanted to drop in and say hey.

I'm a transplant from the states married an Aussie and here I am in WA.

I was looking to getting a Syclone/Typhoon brought over from the states but the wife wasn't too keen on it.

Being I wanted something different that I havent played around with and I wanted an AWD car the Sy/Ty was my choice. But since I was told no by the "boss". I decided the closest thing to what I wanted was a skyline. So guys keep a lookout for me on this board because I plan and intend to prolly ask some really stupid questions. I've built my share of street cars in the states.. ( 69 Charger RT 512rwhp, 75 Vette with 400+ hp, camaros firebirds, 56 GMC Pick up (ute to you guys) with 480rwhp 86 mustang, list goes on and on)

See ya'll soon

Rex

69 charger rt

mmmmm

i want one

Bro let me tell she was a beast has a 4000 stall and 4.88 rearend. Wasnt tubbed but with full on slicks she would spin just a bit and just snap your neck. in the quart she prolly run in the high tens low 11's.... which doesnt seem that fast but you are also moving a land yacht. She was super heavy but a real head turner man I miss it just not the petrol bill...lol

Tell your wife to get f**ked, buy whatever you want as long as its not gonna break the bank... whats up with guys these days, getting ruled by a woman!!

She's the one with the trust fund :angry:

or as they once said, "the one with the gold makes the rule"

Either not complaining I'd never would have considered a Skyline if she didnt like thie idea of importing for the states.

      That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.

      They are daft and there's a reason it never caught on. Steering feel? We don't need no stinking steering feel!

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
