Is everyone aware that as a factory option you could get the word Skyline lit up at the rear of the car.

I shit you not, I was at a Jap site which had a factory Skyline brochure, which showed this option, I believe there was even a choice of blue or green.

I'll see if I can dig up the link it was a little while ago.

a5h why? what is the point, is your car rice? if it isnt and you put neons on and people make fun of your car just race them and show them how much rice your car has in it; i saw a honda civce (however u spell it) with green neons the car was shit and everyone laught at it but then we saw a rx-7 with blue neons and everyone was like dame thats nice wish that was my car.

Skyline arnt rice (unless u put 10million stickers on it) neon would look nice

A5h you should just do what YOU want dude. If you dont go overboard then you shouldnt have a problem. Alot of people will think its rice but who cares. You own a great car. Chances are, most of the people who will say stuff own a POS! People are always going to hang shit on your car, no matter what you do to it!

As for the cops. I wouldnt drive around with them on all the time but if you dont drive like a dickhead you shouldnt have a problem with the police at all.

Cheers

yeah i agree docile, i already had a group of tossers hanging out of a pos early 1980's commonwhore doing wank symbols to me as i drove by, (normally not even with BOV noise) so there are always going to be d!ckheads out there.

as for the cops, they should draw no attention by the cops as i have no intention of driving with them on, only when i am getting in and out of the car :(

ive always wanted neons but i cant afford the fines and i dont think its worth havin if they are only on wen u r parked (unless you intend 2 sit in the parked car all the time) im happy with just having neons inside the car but if you like it go for it! i think it looks sik!!

add the neons mate.

if it looks shit, then take then off, im sure there would be someone willing to buy them off of you.

If your hooking up the neons with a switch, then if should be fine mate, if there is people around that would bag you out, turn it off, easy.

I think neons would look sweet, the ones that light up the whole underbody of the car, as if its floating on the neon light, like the pic tosh posted.

its your car man do whatever the hell you like.... if you only bought the skyline to impress ppl and you think adding neons is going to add to that then you bought the car for the wrong reason...

im going to load my with neons once i get the xbox and 12" lcd installed in the dash... any1 who does't like it can walk....

    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
