The decision has been made, and after weeks of pining over it, I have decided to sell my car when I get it back :D I dont have a license until October, and would prefer the car to be getting driven and enjoyed instead of gathering dust. Its currently at Mercury getting a new oil feed line and final tune, then I will be posting up in the for sale section on here, and a couple of other sites. Will be scouring the net to get some idea of a price, although I already have something in mind.

At the end of the year, or early next year i'll be getting a brand new toy, still deciding on what, but thats a long way away yet.

Well variety is the spice of life...

You will always miss it once its sold, but then ive felt the same everytime I buy something new...

It is sad, i often think what it would be like if i sold my Skyline. I would struggle to do it. I guess it's the first car i have really grown attached to. I love my car. Good luck with the sale mate. Then there is a saying "nothing gets you over the last one like the next one".

yeah it will be hard, i think Skylines have a lot of individual personality that other cars i have driven don't have.

Thats funny, because i see the complete opposite.

I own an r33 gtst and really consider it quite dull and without personality. I just find its mediocre at everything. Its just a well put together car that does anything. My last car was a tx5 turbo and don't laugh, but it was a much more fun car to own. It was about as quick as the r33 but was a different drive all together, it just felt angry, torque steering and carrying on all over the place. The consistant wheel spin just about anywhere was also funny.

Maybe its rose coloured glasses on my part i dont know.

Don't get my wrong, the r33 is a better car, i just don't have any real 'feeling' for the thing.

I'm currently tossing up whether or not to sell my 34. My bf and i have just bought a house too. I currently have the 34 and a daily driver (bluey sss), and the daily will definately be the first to go, but i'm thinking that having only one car, that i may need something a little more practical and cheaper to run/insure/etc than the skyline.

Man i sold mine like a month ago and damn i miss it... got two new cars but still miss my skyline.... but the one thing that made me decide was the way pricing and demand is dropping on them and also all the new defect laws.. but I'm still considering buying it back and just sitting it in the back of the garage under a cover and never drive it lol.... pretty sad i know

I feel ya on that. My old 33 was pretty boring, it was a solid, not-too-slow cruiser with reasonable balance, a lot of body roll and ok brakes. A few mods brings them to life though, suspension, brake pads, fluid flush and a few choice engine mods will give it some character :whistling: It still won't wrestle the wheel from your hands if that's what you like (though FWD really isn't my thing) but they are a much more exciting car with mods! For me their appeal is in the huge potential waiting to be unlocked, rather than the "blistering" stock performance.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
