Love this thread!

You know you drive a skyline when;

.. your last girlfriend left you because you forgot her birthday.. again.. while your at home changing a clutch.

.. your dad buys one because he is jelous

.. the bloke in the other car simply ignores you

.. drive 7 suburbs away to get milk and eggs, simply because you can drive longer

.. you spend over $150 in one night on petrol to continue driving the twisties..

.. when jumping in an AMG at work n longer excites you

When your friends think your weird when you explain to them the concept of the "spotted" thread

You know your in a Skyline when...

* That RX7 just blew your doors off........................

* Your holding up some strange sounding car, with pop up headlights..............

* You have people fallging you down in the city asking for Taxi rides..............

* Your girl left you mid cruise to "check out the cool RX7 accorss the road"

* Skyline Inferior, RX7 Superior...........

When you spend 20minutes going around the block until a parking spot in front of the place your going to becomes free so your car is never out of your sight.

thats very true. Especially at uni, got to park it oppisite the computer lab so i can glance out the window to see if it is alright!

when you drive past the broken down rx7 laughing to yourself thanking god you didn't buy a rotary...

Myth...

Secretly you'd pass the said broken down rotor and think.... "dam, I wish I was cool enough to own a rotor" :)....

But seriously they are both great cars.

You know you drive a Skyline when:

You think you can beat anything on the road

Looks like I can add to that with

You know you drive a Skyline when you think nothing is as good as one and you arc up something feirce when anyone begs to differ :)

...when you are given the most busted arse ute on site because they think your a hoon, then when it breaks after being abused by every other SOB and you get the blame.

...when you practice your apex's and lines around site in the busted arse ute.

...When you think flying to Japan for a car show is a logical way to spend money.

...When the driver of the 355 Ferrari you just beat refuses to make eye contact...roflmao

...When the scooby driver arrives at the freeway off ramp lights 15 seconds later and politely ask's how much HP the R makes and can his wrx do that...lol

It's probably in here already, but when you call insurance companies and they refuse to cover "imports", you must be over 25 for owning a Skyline, or over 30 because you mentioned "GTR".

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
