hi,

cool 'module' Ryan. were the 33's special imports to the US, or were they sold through Nissan [new car] dealerships?. I spend a fair amount of time in the US [latest trip, 6 months last year], but haven't seen a R32, R33 or a 34 on the road.

regards

G'day ryan,

I'm from south eastern Victoria... Nice car, it's even got the steering wheel on the correct side :)

Which kinda answers changi's questions.

Track car only? or are you getting wierd looks for sitting in the wrong seat when you stop at the lights?

some company called "motorex" was importing skylines - they went into receivership

i read all the police reports online regarding all the victims that lost there cars before they got hold of them

far as i know that was the only way you could get one in the usa?

i drive it once and a while up the road a bit to get cigs and that's about it

haha what's up man!

umm ya hopefully i have coming from japan it should be here next month

but if something happens to it or it never comes

then i would be more than appreciative of your help :P

but ya skylines are suuuuuper rare here

i think there is less than 150 here in the states (registered)

from what i've heard

not too sure about that number because i haven't really checked it out myself

but i've never seen another one on the streets

      Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ?

      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 CF.Panda · Posted

      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
