hi everyone,

i have recently bought a skyline r32 gtr and the car is great. i really like it and everything but there are a couple of problems regarding the car that i would like to ask. any help would be greatly appreciated.

1. when i am cruising along normally, and accelerating a bit the gas just seems to cut off and the car isnt doing anything. the car kinda jerks a bit and then i step on some more gas, nothing happens and then it comes on. it happens rarely but i dunno what would be the problem.

2. the car has upgraded brembos on the front and they squeak heaps. i dunno if the pads are worn or is it got something to do with the materials that the brakes are made out of that causes this but i am unsure.

3. my driveway is heaps steep and everytime i go in and out of it my undercarriage gets scratched heaps and it hurts everytime this happens. i am afraid that it is causing grave damage to my car. is there anyway to prevent this?

thanks in advance to the help.

1. Develop a good relationship with an honest, reliable, knowledgeable tuner and remember the search

button is your friend

2. Probably the type of pads...no big woop. You can get pads to put behind the brake pads to kill that also

refer No1

3. Reverse up or go the 45 degree and keep your speed down....or move ;)

lol welcome to the world of skylines and lowered cars..

1. could be due to a multitude of problems.. searching is the best option as stated above.. that or take it to a mechanic if you really have no idea and demonstrate the problem to him..

2. check if there are still brake pads and that they havnt worn and dissapeared. if there still is brake pads visible it should be fine..

3. you're aware of the whole 45 degree angle exit right? U must have seen lowered cars do it before.. a handy tip.. your rear of the vehicle is in most cases higher up than your front.. so drive your car in head first... then reverse your car out of your driveway. It will save you from scrapping mostly..

helps me anyway.. gl and have fun :(

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.

      Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
