lol, you seem to be talking up this car quite a bit. No they did not come standard with 5 studs as much as you want to think that. If a car has been taken care of a car that has 150,000km can look and feel as good as your car with "36,000km." Get realistic mate. 12 year old car with 36000km?? Do you really think the car was driven over its life 3000km a year? Guess whatever makes you sleep at night.

Other than all this the car does look sweet, do get it checked out and get a major service done. As far as anyone knows it could have 136,000km or even more and no one will know except for the person that did it in the first place. As everyone says. Dont even look at the km, look at the condition. No one here can genuinely say how many km their car has.

i dont need to talk to this car up u just gotta believe it plenty of ppl have seen this already most my mates are in the import scene

when will you people listen dont spam my thread just cos ur skylines got a millions miles on it n its been wound back the car was owned by an older person in japan then imported to aus by a 50yr old! i used to own a 84 mitsubishi colt with 87,000 on it n it was clean! just cos its been imported dont mean it must have been wound back like i said come take one look at the car it has not one mark on it!

if u swear its been clocked back why would all 4 tyres be showing age round the edges?? and to add to that there an early model bridgestone tyre.. so obviously its been sitting in the shed drivin by an old jap to the shops n back once a week!

i promise u this car came out with 5 studs its a type x non turbo 4 door series 2!

i also bought thru a dealer that certified the k's just to sort all

will have photos up later to prove my point! fags!

You seriously got to listen to these people, they are not putting your car down they are just giving you advice but your making it sound like they are just trying to find faults on your car when they aren't actually. At the end of the day you drive the car, so if you feel satisfied with the car than good but if i were you i would listen to these people get the service done hear what the mechanc has to say, because it's better to be safe than sorry.

Look mate, you came to this forum asking for advice and on what we think. If you dont like it then you know where to go. If you arent ready to accept any criticism you shouldnt have made this thread in the first place. Expecially when you are claiming things that just arent true. Some of us giving you this advice have been around for years on this forum so we would know a few things :dry: If you know all then i guess you dont need a forum for help.

And think about it this way. A person will come to see your car. You say its got 36,000km. He says prove it. You show him the interior and shit and say "heres the proof." He will probably laugh as that is not proof at all. The ONLY proof you can have is CURRENT service history. But hey they can be fudged too.

i promise u this car came out with 5 studs its a type x non turbo 4 door series 2!

fags!

i have not seen any documentation of a type x r33 ever being released so if you can point me into the right direction that would be great. promises and someone's word isn't really what i was hoping for.

no one here has called you names or abused you. so don't you go start voicing off. consider this a verbal warning to everyone to keep the conversation civil and mature.

this is a forum where everyone is expected to share their opinions whether good or bad, we all have to be able to take some form of criticism.

i don't want to hear anymore about how many km or what not, everyone knows about imports and their odometer issues. the OP is well aware of everyone's comments and if he wishes to ignore them then everyone needs to respect that.

play nice guys

yea well maybe me as the everyday driver of this car should know what im driving..? thats my point i know the car has the amount of k's it has!

i'll put more pics up in a second n i will be able to explain any mark u could possibly find on it cos i put them there!

Lol. Same dealer?

From memory, I believe that all import cars must have their clocks wound back for compliance...

Jack :P

i promise if ur gtr has that much its not possible to look this clean.. u cant immatate a new car.

why the hell would they have to be wound back for compliance???

if my car dont have that many k's why is there not one scratch on the underside? not one mark under wheel archs? windscreen and interior where perfect when i picked it up! and why would the tyres be all cracked and old if it had been drivin as much as u's say? everymorning i get into it, i get to still smell that new car smell.

i know my k's are genuine and you all cant help trying to prove me wrong because of all the imports that do get wound back!

cars like this exsist it is possible!

went into my local nissan dealer yesterday and they thru it up on the hoist n looked right over it and assured me it hasnt been wound back because its so obvious in the quality of the car.. for it to be this good it would have to be restored and i dont know any1 in the world that would bother? and like i said u cant immatate a new car

every mechanic or anyone thats worked on it is amased at how perfect this car is

belive or continue hateing... i dont really care i'm the lucky one that gets to drive a pretty much brand new skyline!

pics dont do this car any justice u have to see it in person then u will change ur opinion

mate, step back a bit. they are trying to prove you wrong because you are making a claim. we unfortunately live in a world where claims are backed up by evidence. all you have are promises and your own judgment of how new you think your car is. even imports coming in with full up to date logbooks aren't a good indication of the type of mileage anymore.

if the car's condition makes you happy then that's all you need, you don't need/have to convince us and stop trying to prove it to the other guys and they'll leave you alone.

it would have to be restored and i dont know any1 in the world that would bother? and like i said u cant immatate a new car

today is your lucky day!

i dont really care i'm the lucky one that gets to drive a pretty much brand new skyline!

exactly, so why does it matter what everyone else says?

you have to understand that you can pretty much buy new of every part of skylines (imports) off the shelf. you only have to walk through ricesalon to see that everyone and anyone can tidy up a car.

i have not seen any documentation of a type x r33 ever being released so if you can point me into the right direction that would be great. promises and someone's word isn't really what i was hoping for.

I have some documentation if you want, but its in Japanese. lol cheers mate. :P

    • 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.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
