Very nice 33 mate mine is the same series 2 1997 model except in sonic silver. By the way the needle shouldnt be going all the way to +7 as that means its running about 1 bar or 14-15psi. 10psi is around the notch below it.

Cheers

Thanks Chris

Just love the look of the series 2

They look great in silver to..

Seen a few up this way.

I would really like to know how much boost I am running, but I swear that it flicks all the way to +7 at 5000rpm......

Love the range going up to Atherton, but my fave is probably the run up the back way from Mossman up to Mareeba....

Or the gillies hwy, as you said, One hell of a drive.......

Be great to get a group of skylines together for a run up through there

yeah, so many good drives up this way.

used to go up the kuranda range, down the rex range drive back to cairns along the coast, up the gillies and home down the kuranda.

takes in all three of the best drives up this way, you can usually do it in about a day if you stop and have lunch and whatnot.

the road up to copperlode dam is also a bit of fun if you can get a clear go. theres a good photo spot that looks out over cairns on the way up.

Nice car by the way, haven't seen you around yet....

I ran a bar on a stock turbo for ages before i high flowed and then GT30'ed...

You can run a bar as long as it has been tuned rich. Rich tunes use alot of fuel and paint or rear bumper black, but they are a cooler tune they cause the exhaust temps to lower and therefore they help preserve the exhaust wheel's life...

I have to get it serviced soon (as part of my 3 yr warrenty) and i will get all that sort of thing looked at then.

Thanks for the advice :)

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
