Well, well, well... Look what the cat dragged into this thread...

'ol miss 180sx... Hows the tractor going ? Your slightly more respected to these guys. You don't own a Skyline. Your still inferior thou.

it's developing a rebuild history as good as any rotor these days lol

They are not the marque car some like to think they are.

I'm not bagging out your emotional attachment or the car itself either. Its just a fact.

PS. I have owned both an R33GTSt and FD RX7.

I'm telling you now, the Rotary crowd and FD Crowd specifically are a million times more community based around the marque (and no... I dont considar the FD some special supercar better then your GTR's). I have found the Skyline Crowd more based on the Social Scene then anything.

How many of the first 100 members of SAU still have Skylines ???? Food for thought.... I can think of 5 or 6 straight away that don't.

So 5 or 6 out of a 100 - add a few more - this proves nothing more than some people like to sample new/different models. I know quite few ex-FD RX7 owners that have moved on too - they got sick of the engine reliablity issues that come with owning a 13B.

I must say though, how very surprising to see an ex-Skyline owner - mid range model at that - who has moved on and now owns a flagship Mazda model and is vocal about how good their new car is by comparision. ;-)

hahahaha...

GTR's didn't do it for me. The rotor was where my heart always was... Even when I had the GTSt.

Plus... There are never ex-FD owners... Just FD rejected owners...

I love you guys......

I'll post what I posted on the video.

'There is very little space to pass on these roads? If the R35 had started the Sudden Death round the GTR would be the winner. You can't expect in a single minute race for there to be any legit passing'

This video proves nothingggg

Yeah I often buy the 'other' brand and model when I prefer something else... it's a hoot.

Hey look, there's nothing wrong with a bit of seal love - you'd get to see those seals all the time with that fragile whipper snipper motor :devil:

Oh, and thanks for the link to the Wiggles video.

Eats popcorn, and reads, looks around!!!!!

Wherever, Whoever, Whatever, people drive, there will always be nobs, yobbo's, morons etc..

You find them in all walks of life and different backgrounds.

Face it we are all sorrounded by idiots, build a bridge get over it an move on!

By blowing ones trumpet on how big there engine is obviously compounding issues in other areas of ones life?

A big shout out to all the unique car brothers out there. :devil::)

Seals are quick and nimble... Unlike Big slow oil tanker like movements of a whale!!!

oh... and lol@wiggles comment.

i think the comments of people not owning skylines to piss off from using this forum is pretty ignorant. kudos to people who widen their knowledge base other than their own make and model. they might learn and apply something here to their car like turbo setups, tuning, suspension setups and the like. you might as well bury yourself blow hole ass up on the beach if you just think a particular forum should be for those who only own one.

this post was supposed to be a post to gain the thoughts on ppl weather this issue was common all ova aus or just where i live not dis each other.....

obviously we have one thing in common............................................ we r all on this site! so lets conclude this and get the valid points through,

like this thread was intended to.

I love you guys......

so by your own reasoning you would be a skyline reject? Which means the skyline was supperior to your driving abilities?

Seriously, coming onto a skyline forum and bagging out skylines to get a reaction? Yes congratulations it worked, we are all stunned and excited for you to achieve such greatness. Please accept my congratulations your doing your fellow RX7 drivers proud

Im an ex VL owner and I sure as hell dont go back on Calais Turbo and post shit about how much better my skyline is. Grow up.

In all honesty I like RX7's from about series 3 onwards. I however think your attitude gives RX7 owners a bad name

On Topic: I agree theres alot of people in skylines that probably shouldnt be, which is maybe one of the reasons why some might consider me a snob etc when pulled up next to me at lights. I got sick of pulling up next to idiots in skylines/imports/ricers that as soon as you give them a look want to show you how 'fast' there car is. So i dont bother giving them a glance, and for those who are genuinely being respectful to the car i drive etc then i apologise

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
