nah, he's just trying all these excuses to make me buy anything other then a skyline, think I've worn him down, just had a call from him, he's still gonna shout me $3k of the cost as a 21st birthday pressy + next xmas or something, until I actually have it, I think he'll still try and reason with me to change but I haven't budged yet.

i think in this day an age... i personally would buy something other than a skyline. not to discourage you, but it really depends on what you want to do with it? track? cruise? drift? show? etc... from there you can decide.

my younger brother just bought his first car... cost the same as my skyline (back 4 years ago) - but is 8 years younger, more comfortable, effortless through the twisties, bucket seats, etc etc, ohh that's factory standard.. needless to say, i was the one that chose it for him, and i am madly jealous.

Im lost, whats this topic about???

My dad is back in town for the weekend and he has a 2001 Mustang SVT Cobra (plates are "STANG1") that sits in storage while he's overseas. It attracts a bit of attention around town. I've finally decided to start getting finances together to get a car and picked a nice Series 2 R33. He has over the past 5 days tried every day for at least an hour to get me to pick something else to buy. All the while we're looking around, people see the car and decide to squeal tyres or something past it, quite a few (not all though) being Skylines :stupid:.

I told him I'd post a thread about it, so here it is. Don't really seem to need to worry any more since he said he'll still pay a chunk, so just give a toot as you go past if you see him around, no need to be a dick about it :)

Yeah, I've already told him off for being a ford bogan, tomorrow is his last day in the country, so it'll be his last chance to try and get me to change my mind. Oh well. At least I should have a new car within a couple of weeks (this is taking too long :stupid:).

    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
