I read this post and thought to myself...How old is this guy? Its a car, get over it! I feel way more sympathetic to the roo then to some holden that has a dent on the bonnet and a stuffed windscreen. Maybe he should upgrade his brakes?

I totally agree.

Theres nothing they can do about it, their fault for running out onto the road but they don't know better. Sometimes theres nothing you can do but hit them. I've had a close call in a national park before with a Kangaroo.

yeah, it was raining at the time, and that roads pretty sliprey when its wet.

the place that he hit it was jsut under the train tack, and they have metal gaurd rails, so swerving was outa the question.

his brakes locked up and he jsut slid. hit the roo and slid a fair way after. he wasnt speeding either.

it was pretty cool accually, there was roo's leg bone about 10m away on the side of the road, jsut bone with a bit of blood on it.

the roos mouth was dribbling blood.

it kept making grunting noises at me.

its tail was bleeding :/

and its leg had no bone in it whatso ever and it was twisted over itself.

was pretty sad but atleast we put it down.

died after about 15-20min's

and the vet took it away.

this girl kept crying, im like errrrrr.

even my girl didnt cry.

but it was a bit sad, i shed a tear for the commodore. took him ages to save up for that car, 4months jsut to get the spray job done. all gone in a matter of secconds.

      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.
