I got my skyline 33 serviced today 95000 kms at my local nissan dealership

and they are saying mine seems to be down on power a little compared

to other similar skylines could anybody tell me why this is so? am I leaking boost?

It seems to run fine for me and seems to have good power but then again i havn't driven

many skylines other than my own.

the only thing the nissan guy said is that it could be a little down on boost or something,

so looks like my next service I'm up for big dollars, timing belt, cam gaskets and such have

to be changed oh well the price you pay for having a skyline.

Yeah my 33 is stock no mods done to it yet I am trying to save for

some mods I want to up the boost a little and get exhaust done and such,

and yeah they probably did take it for a good thrashing as they had to

put new front brake pads on and said they bedded them in while on roadtest.

yeah not really happy about them taking it for spin thats why I was a bit hesitant

in getting it serviced.

One day I might get to a dyno to get it checked out, might just need tuning or

something but just so flat out at work havn't had the time.

ahahahah "roadtest"

As B1 said take it to a reputable workshop next time who deal with these cars day in, day out not some yobbo Nissan dealership workers who probably service more falcodores than anything. (note. not all Nissan workers are yobbos hahaha)

As for paying the price for owning a skyline - timing belts etc need changing on all cars regardless of being imports. A skylines timing belt is easier and cheaper to replace than a lot of other Australian cars.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
