Quick advice time. I currently have a company car with a $250 a month fuel allowsnce whi ch i pay $55 + $6 insurance reduction per week. I can get a car allowance of $150 per week ( so i dont have to pay fbt) i own my car outright. Should i do it? It does mean turning the skyline into a daily but i think it is worth it. Whats everybodies thoughts? Cheerz

My bet would be on no, not worth it. Extra maintenance and depreciation would probably be the killer. Don't forget the hike to your insurance as you are now using your car for business purposes. It would need an accountant to go over it to make sure however. if the $150 a week you would get would cover ALL of your maintenance, fuel, extra insurance and depreciation it would be worth it but I doubt that would happen.

Please note that this does not constitute real financial advise. Go talk to an accountant :P

I use my skyline as a daily, although I have very short trips to work so I don't mind. I just love the feeling of getting into my car after finishing work each day. To each their own though :)

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      Thanks, I'll shim that plug and hopefully it fixes it.  Yes still factory turbo for now, still have the misfire it's not as bad but still noticeable

      By MissMintyR33 · Posted

      I had someone check the CU, they said it was fine but it could be buggered  I was only running around 7-10 PSI on the dual stage controller, but my boost gauge is shit house and needs replacing so I'm not getting a true reading.  Then I ran from wastegate pressure as per Turbosmart but still have the same sort of issue

      Yeah this is a thing. I've had mine setup like this for a few years now, works fine. If I dredge my memory bank, I think I had to do this after I removed my factory dash.  So you've tried it on gate pressure, I'm assuming this is the factory turbo? Did you still have misfire issues with that setup?

      Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.

      @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)
