hey there guys

just wanted to share my experience with everyone when i finally brought my r32 gtst 10 months ago

since then what has happen to my 32 is my front driver side fender has been reverse into as it was parked at

the gym, leaving me the bill, as the driver did a hit and run, next to follow that was my car was parked at a friends house slept

overnight and came out the next morning to find that my driver side door had been reverse into, damaged was to great so

had to purchase a new door and respray the whole driver side, yet again leaving me with the bill. After getting my car back in

perfect working order i was involve in a accident today. Was driving on the highway and the driver of another car signal into my

lane without looking at his blind spot and hit my whole driver side (wat luck huh?) so now i need a new side blinker and

another respray on the driver side. l

yeh we have a cursed black car too, 350z, its had 5 good hits in 4 years, every panel has been done, none were our fault. Most recently a jeep turned into us in a corner, I stopped when he hit me but he kept driving - so he scraped the front bumper, drivers side guard, drivers door, drivers rear guard and rear bumper

Wow mine must be the only lucky black car then.

The only problem I have had is clutch went.. Stock clutch my fault because I was pushing it on the skidpans, your usually old worn parts that need to be replaced over time.. And my gearbox needs a reco but thats another story.

Ive had my car for nearly 2 years now.

    • Bit wet, but YUMMY
    • 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.
    • So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.
