4 months of skyline ownership and yet to get any attention from the boys in blue. I feel unloved. Maybe this is a sign i need to take my exhaust off or something to attract some attention.

edit: to be fair though, i don't daily drive it.

edit edit: and of course i didn't realise there was another page of stuff here

I dunno about that, still never been pulled over other than at RBT.

I generally only get pulled over when I deserve it.

Except for that one time, when they pulled me over because I honked the horn at someone who didn't give way to me at a roundabout...

Eggggggzackery, Where you drive, when you drive and How you drive are the difference between getting pulled over non stop and barely getting a glance

PRO TIP: Dont drive down blunder road on a weekday during business hours

I never get pulled over.

You just get tonnes of free photos in the mail

Hello ya bunch of skirts.

After some opinions on highflows. I have the oportunity to buy a secondhand GCG highflow with apparently only 5000km's for $1200 delivered. This could be a winner, but the thought over getting a Hypergear jobby for less and is 'new' is appealing.

The only 'benifit' the GCG unit has is that it used a BB CHRA unlike the Hypergear and that you can use the standard oil feed line. The downside of the GCG is that it is a R33 item (Stagea uses R34 turbro) and I have seen a few of them requiring a rebuild after 20thousand kms.

I think I'm leaning towards the Hypergear as it also comes with a 60k warranty if installed correctly....

Thoughts? discuss.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
