Things havent cracked lately for me, with so many P-plate restriction, im forced to sell up turbo brethern, so now im looking for a nice newer ride, preferably a nice and tidy R34 GTS 4 Dr manual, only prob is that there aint any manual 4DR GTS floating around, and considering im new to skyline scene, any input is welcome.

Some things i wanna clear up is fuel eco, atm my 180sx gets a very good 10lt to 100km, normal driving, so how would R34 GT-S Neo RB25 stack up?

Also being an import, i suspect running 95RON would still be very limit and 98RON all times?

Another point is as majority are in indeed tiptronic, how are they compared to standardised auto slush boxes? i know Silvia S15 auto are dreadful to drive when cold, its like being shot in the back when shifting into 1st and 2nd gears when cold.

The skyline will drink more than your 180sx and that will vary depending on your driving style. A non-turbo one might not be very fun for you especially if you have driven turbo before. 10-16L/100km. range...turbo is about 12-14L/100km.

Tiptronic is fine, i find mine perfect for daily driving and the occasional tiptronic mode is decent. Just dont expect it to be 6speed manual and you'll be fine :spank:

98ron mate. its pretty cheap these days newais so yeh, enjoy!

Is it me or are all 4DR variants tiptronics? Finding one in manual is impossible, so did they actually come out in a manual 5sp form because all the ones in looking at are tiptronic? , or are they indeed converted to a manual? Im only looking at Non Turbo RB25de Neo vehicles.

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
