hey guys and girls, i dont know if this introduction is in the right place, but as i live in canberra it seems appropriate.

dad and i are pretty into cars (he has a few nice ones) and as i will be looking at buying a skyline some time in the next year or so, i thought it would be good to learn heaps of stuff.

so i hope to have fun here and i am always seeing skylines around, so im sure most of them are owned by you guys.

cheers dave

hey guys, its the new v8 model and it is station wagon (haha it was so he could convince mum to get it). you might have seen it around, it is dark green. i dont think he will want to swap. hahaha he loves it too much, he lets me drive it a bit (supervised of course) its realy cool. ill get some pics.

there is another rs4 i have seen in canberra, and it is the twin turbo model, black i think it lives in deakin or narrabundah or thereabouts.

ill see what dad says about a spin, im sure some time in the future

hey cheers, yeah they look great, i mean just to be that good in a wagon means people who dont know dont think of it as anything special which is kinda cool. i dont suppose there is a guy called neil who uses this forum, he used to have a r32 four door a while back but i think sold it. he is a local canberra...i thought this would be the kind of place he would hang out at

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
