I think most people that know me know of my totally awesome dyno queen of a wagon that had to be jacked onto the RE dyno cos it was too low :( Anyway just when she was running nicley with the new engine and all the replacement engine bay bits this happens :huh: The other car turned right through the intersection infront of me and didn't give way, braked and swerved but still hit him square in the back wheel, mashed my car but his only had a few scratches. Suppose at least I did swerve and didn't hit him in the doors, could have been alot worse for his passenger.....

Anyway piccies and a squashed pod :(

ouch mate. are u ok??? nasty damage there. at least he/she was the one at fault

yeah its all ok (i was the passenger).

The crash was like a lesson on exactly the right thing to do during a traffic collision. Both parties were fairly calm, which is good it was a biiiig hit tho...

no one was hurt.

Atleast now you can take the money and buy a skyline, in fact now you can buy anything but a dunnydoor, my hatred of commodores dos'nt show does it?

Hopefully you were insured atleast.

Yeh the other car was a company car so insurance shouldn't be too much of a problem, hopefull I don't get stooged and get a decent payout considering i've just spent so much money on it. Anyway just waiting for a call from his insurance company today and we'll see how it goes.

P.S. If anyones got a shitter for sale I need something to get me to work and back for the time being. Think I might save up a bit more money and buy a discovery :)

      Wheel refurb?

      The powder coating came in at $250 EACH. The TRX rims got a coat of clearcoat on the outside only.

      Pops when backing off throttle, rough-ish sound through rev range.

      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.
