i'd just like to see this part of the forum kick off. a lot of people seem to have this notion that you need a turbo to own a skyline.

Yea well it's kicked off a fair bit in numbers since I can remember joining.

But It's just so difficult without a market to support the N/A

If they made super-charger kits, or hell even twin charger kits for the n/a that would be mint.. but meh.. Costs for something like that in terms of fabrication/mechanical without such a market is just too much. So there's only so much we can talk about before money plays a big factor.

Seeing as it's only been 2 years or so since the non turbo laws came in for NSW anyway, and some states soon to follow the trend. I think the N/A section can only continue to grow.

Also there's something for anyone mechanically minded to think about.. I know there's a big following for turbos in aus, but that also goes for N/A's whether it's v8's 6's or 4's.. If someone were to go into making different kits (Exhausts /superchargers/ high compression bits n pieces etc) for these cars locally I'm sure they could promote the growth. Not many people like paying over the internet to receive a part that's a couple thousand K's away meh..

And while we're on the topic of N/A's.. I think I'm selling my car soon (No, I'm not over skylines) I just want to go overseas and need the cash :thumbsup:

Rest assured though, when I get back etc and get some more money, I'll be back in the game. Not sure what I'll be after though, I appreciate a wide range of cars so who knows what I'll get.

yeah it is sad to actually see how shallow everyone is.

well everyone knows when you have a turbo you instantly become schumacher. no excuses when you get beaten by one though! :thumbsup:

Just like to say first point i love that 34 looks hot congrats Cara, and sorry for keeping on with the side thred :thumbsup:

Secondly when i first started getting into cars and imports and skylines i was all turbos blah blah na's are gay, n i had a mate who had an na and everyone at uni used to give him shit about it,

But then my car died and it came time for me to look for a new car and i loved skylines i was still a year and a half or so away from getting my full licence, and i live in an area swarming with traffic cops so i wanted something leagal and i loved skylines so i went and bought an na, It totaly changed my thoughts about the whole thing, coming from a v6 bit r missin to the na 33 was a huge jump, skyline out preformed in every way and i think if i had a turbo i would been more up-mself and prob totaled it with-in no time. I have way more respect for the actual cars themselves and what everone does with them now then i ever would have otherwise.

On a side note i know here in Vic in the last 2 years i have seen a huge increase in na skylines all over the place, and i have been talking with a few importing places and 1 place in particular told me they now bring in more na's then they do turbos. With a large number of p platers being a huge buyer market for skylines and all the new strickter and harsher rules Na's are going to grow and grow and so will this forum and the wealth of knowledge.

ps Cara you got any interia pics? is it stock inside or does it match the rest of the car??

N/A's are cool, cheaper on fuel, not many problems, no huge maintaince. i get the same thing when i tell people my car aint turbo, but the 4wd makes up for it around corners. im just gonna focus on handling and breaking aswell as some audio.

owning a GT-V, I have people telling me to 'drop the turbo motor in it, you already have everything else turbo spec' but thats not what I want for my car. I don't want my car to be a money pit plus I love the fact that I average over 600K's to a tank.

can't agree more with you luke, especially an NA R34. I also have the same focus for my car as you.

what annoys me the most was at adelaide autosalon i went in the dyno comp...............she pulled out a nice 120 kW at the wheels, which i was happy with cause i really only did it for fun, but what annoyed me the most was the fact that they didnt have a N/A 6 cyclinder dyno comp trophy, due to there "not being enough interest" and i questioned them by saying but what about the new p plate laws in nsw/vic.............still not enough interest i got told.......... so i ended up being put in the turbo class............that shited me off big time.......especially when a 3.5 L magna bet me by 2 kW's and they wouldnt even let me re-run despite letting all the "high kW turbo cars" re running twice or even three times.

shame on that. i will show them big time............just wait............ :)

NAH!.. if its one thing I will never do.. its leather interior..

Its cold in winter.. so you heat up the car.. then you get all sweaty and sticky.. and gross.. and leather dosnt breathe.. so end up sweating weight off

And in summer.. its worse.. no matter what you do.. you will just sweat in a leather seat.. and get all gross..

not a good look..

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      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.
