hay guyz fuli saw ur kewl forum and decided to join coz i love the turbo pshhh sound.

Just Kidding.

I'm Tim, a long time member of the R31 skyline club (SILO-31), just thought i'd sign up to the SAU to broaden the possibility of more cruises and more information about our favourite model of auto machine.

I've owned 2 skylines in the past, my first was a 1987 Series 2 R31 Silhouette, 5 speed manual, 2.5inch exhaust, K&N filter and 98 chip, lowered springs. Was a great car, well looked after and always drove well, one wet afternoon i had the stereo up a bit loud and wasn't consentrating, went round a corner a little to fast and the rear stepped out, by the time i corrected it just enough to narrowly miss a tree she aimed straight for a gutter.

A few weeks later i decided i was to wreck my old car and buy a new one, i came accross a straight 1988 Series 3 R31 Silhouette, terrible paint and a bit of rust but it drove well, i had a few plans for it but i'm starting to work alot more and dont have time to modify it, id rather have something 98% completed i can drive and enjoy.

So that said, in a few weeks the car will be up for sale and i'll be in the market for a Naturally Aspirated R33 GTS.

Cheers, Tim. :D

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
