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.

Well we buy these cars cos we love em so much so of course we wanna look at them all the time. Never know when you'll see a new angle. I sometimes just stand outside and look at for a while.....lol..

I have only had a couple mths too.. :P

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

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
