I'm not sure how your rating is compared to here in canada.. but I use 87 octane in my Daily driver non turbo GTS and 94 in my GTS-4..

we only have 87, 89, 91, and 94 at the pumps here.. 100 octane in japan = about 95 here in canada.. so 94 is the best we can do..

but the N/A doesn't need the higher octane gas.

You guys follow the US octane rating system, we follow the British octane rating system, and the japanese have their own.

so our 98 octane = your 94 = japanese 100.

Oh hectic you're Canadian :D I didn't think anyone outside Oz or NZ would be interested in SAU! This is like, a moment for me...Skylines have brought us all together lol. You guys have right-hand drive? Or you drive like Americans? :)

Aaahhh sounds like Canada has pretty crappy petrol/gas. I thought we had it bad compared to Japan, but you have only 94-5 octane? Does the car (albeit an N/A) run ok?

They've still got the 15 year rule, so they get all the old stuff... atm as far as skylines are concerned they only get R32's... its wierd... canada's like the land of R32's now.
There's quite a few visitors from the UK and US too. He would have a right hand drive car, skylines were only made for the Japs as far as I know.
technically no, japan, australia and the british (conveniently all RHD countries)... those were the only countries to sell them new. Well NZ as well, but they don't have a local automotive industry, so they don't count. But yeah, it is RHD... which is kinda JDM tyte yo over there because they get all the US LHD cars.

Yeah use the BP ultimate, cleaner and better for your skyline, if you dont you'll notice it just doesnt rev right. Definetely get it detailed but watch your spear wheel and jack, detailers sometimes leave them out of the car when they are finished.

Get it serviced as was said above. But before you go on a long trip, just check oil level and have a peek at the coolant reservior and check the level of the coolant, it will most likely be filled with a green liquid. (sorry if you knew all this).

Other than that, have fun

You got any pics of the car?

      Just a thought, was that car and auto at any point of its life? If so, maybe whoever bridged the inhibitor switch/circuit did a not so good job.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
