actually the title is a lie i have had my skyline for longer, but i only got my license on the 27th of august and ever since then i have been driving my pride and joy

at first i loved it

then i started hating it when i was randomly getting pulled up by cops and the petrol bill started really hitting me

but then there are some occasions where i drive past a shop window and just catch a glimps of the reflection

today i was parked next to a audi 4wd

and the reflection made me smile

owning a skyline may have a downfalls

but then i get to think for myself

im driving in one of the best looking cars ever :)

and every time i hit the gas and listen to that exhaust purr... i am content

is your fuel bill really bad? i thought mine was pretty good with my r34 and its non turbo. when i filled it up i was scared i thought it was going to cost me a fortune but it only cost me 57 bucks and thats with v-power anyway i suppose its how u drive it and where your driving as well. also just a quick question dose your exhaust rattle in a certain rev range ive herd that alot of n/a skylines do, then i herd it's only the twin cams that make the noise mine does it in between 2 and 3000rpm.

yeah my tank is about $65 bucks v power

and it lasts me about 375-400kms

its gradually going up as i stop thrashing the car around.

and no the exhaust doesnt rattle. however my whole boot lid and rear view does due to subs

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
