It is with great sadness that i announce the departing of my beloved 1989 R32 GTST Type M 4 Door. I've had the car for just over 12 months, and have loved every minute of it. I went from a 1992 Suzuki Swift GLX sedan 1.6L, to the gtst, and mark my words..what a change! powerless 1.6L front wheel drive (which still chopped civics!) to a 2.0L turbo'd rear wheel drive with completely different handling characteristics, and power dynamics. I am at this stage swapping the vehicle for a 180sx which i will be turning into a drift pig. She will be missed. I will continue to be a member of this site because i will eventually be getting my hands on a gtr. Every time i see a fellow skyliner i will be sure to wave/flash lights/honk because all of you guys are awesome and have helped me out of some sticky situations.

I thank you all so much, and hope to see some of you guys on the drift track!

I agree with Wink, you could turn your 32 into a drift car too. If you do turn your 32 into a 'driftpig', you can use the money you were about to spend on the 180 and put it towards your wedding. If your wedding is still going ahead, I'd say concerntrate on your soon to be wife and get a house, but that's just me. It's your life and if you want the 180 or 34 gtr, go right ahead mate.

Good luck with everything. :)

yeh thanks Grant..

NG0387 - it's obvious that you are young and will make your own mistakes/decisions.

I'm assuming the 180sx you got was the one with the ca18det in the sale section of this forum?

he was asking $7.5K.

I'm hoping that you got at least $4K on top of his car for your R32 4 door.

the other thing is, you had a 4 door R32 skyline.

it's pretty much the "IN THING" in that crap they call drifting, which you want to do.

You're car would have been so much better at it then a ca18 180sx with FMIC and a pod.

The skyline has better brakes, more powerful engine, etc.

If you come to a public forum and make posts about whatever you want to talk about, you are going to get peoples replies.

if you don't like it, then that's too bad.

everyone here is posting their own opinion/experience.

You started here with "I want a 1000kw R34 GTR" and we know where that went.

then you swapped your skyline for a ca18det 180sx?

That just seems stupid to me.

not to mention you calling a 180sx with pod and fmic a drift pig.

I'm not about to baby what i think just so it doesn't hurt your feelings.

Toughen the f*k up princess

same goes for your husband.

well before u go assuming things its not the one thats for 7.5k...and its got an SR20..and i never claimed that a 180 with a FMIC and pod was a drift pig..what i said was i wanted to turn it into a drift car which i have called a drift pig....and as for the GTR, yes they are my aspirations, i want a powerful R34 GTR, but thats my decision and it doesn't concern you. if u dnt agree with it fine but keep it to yourself. clearly no one hear cares

Here's what I'm saying:

Shut the f**k up, 'GTST'.

You obviously have it in for 'NGO387', so why not just stay out of his threads, and save the rest of us from reading your poor attempts at hassling him.

Agreed 120%.

You've assumed everything and know nothing yet your giving him a hard time about things you dont know about.

      Wheel refurb?

      The powder coating came in at $250 EACH. The TRX rims got a coat of clearcoat on the outside only.

      Pops when backing off throttle, rough-ish sound through rev range.

      Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.

      It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....

      Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
