fair enough

i know a mate from school had a series 4 non turno was nice and cozzy inside but swent like a slug....

woudlnt mind geting a turbo and having a play with it

... although one day il get a skyline again.. love them to much but at the moment ... its not the best car for me at da moment...

hahaha an XF.... screw that... u can get a nice series 4 cheap as these days so u would have a lot left over from ur line to fix/mod it up... i was thinking of selling my 32 and buying a s4 rx7 til i had enough for a monster GTR in a couple of years... convertibles are going for about 8k landed and complied.

Both my best friends have s4s. I have driven them aswell. They are slow compared to an R33, have hardly any torque, but with a few mods they are fast, similar to a modded r33, and get around 160kw atws with exhausts and small boost increase.

Anythin else?

Oh also they are quite reliable if u let them warm up fully before thrashing them. It all depends on the cars history on how reliable they will be... My mates is already leaking oil, had it for 6 months. 60k log books, stock.

hmm interesting thanks for the info..

well at the moment its inbetween a Series 4 rx7... Vl turbo.. my mates old VL.. run flat 11s in it

and wil do a 10 sec pass with a decent trimatic in it..

or a standard vs calais.. as suggested by my gf :-(

so hmm. i like the rx7s tho

XF ... lol.. have i got a project for YOU :P wanna supercharge my bro's XF wagon and get it into 12s?? hehe

depends what u want.. but there are plenty of 89 vehicles under $10k to choose from other than a RX7 if u want something different. Subscribe to the j-spec and/or prestige lists to see what is out there.

Get an 83 supra with the 5mge something in it and whack the 1gzt ( the 2,5 or 3 lt turbo one ) in it, the 83 came with flare guard and everthing, will look mad with slam 18inches and a FRONT MOUNT.

Meant to be my project car but i fell in love with the 4round lights babe.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
