Hi,

Just wondering if anyone has seen any skylines in movies / anime / etc?

Obviously the Fast 'n Furious duo and Initial D

I came across this other reference in an unlikely anime yesterday: Full Metal Panic series 2. It's an anime about a military fanboy and giant robots. Probably one of the last places you'd see such a fine example of automotive engineering :rofl:

Can someone tell if it's a GT, GT-T, or GT-R?

There was a tread on this a while back.

Some HK and J films with Sylines.

One called Infernal Affairs had the baddies in an R33 GTR. Another one called 'legend of speed 2' had an R32 I think.

I saw a japanese movie on SBS a while back, it was about Japanese surf culture and it followed the lives of a teenage deaf and mute couple who became accepted because of their surfing ability. Cant remember what it was called.

But enough of that, one of the young cool surfers had a R32 GTSt. The film was made in 1991 so it must have been series 1.

Yeah, there's plenty of Japanese movies/TV shows featuring Skylines. In fact, there was an article in the news last month:

Someone was killed/injured during the shooting of a new cop drama for TV. The accident happened when the stunt driver driving an R34 GTT lost control and spun out into a crowd on onlookers!:P

..The show has since been cancelled I believe and the producers arrested for shooting without the correct permits...

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.

      This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).

      I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.

      You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?

      Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
