going by ur description of it, no. i value my retinas.

i think skyline owners in general just need to grow a set, too many pussying around worrying about the slightest thing.

thanks for your support mate

yes it is a skyline with chrome wheels, but they aren't really bling bling ones, they dont look too bad

in hindsight i shouldn't have bought it but what can you do

i like to take care of my car and when its not running 100% it annoys me, especially when i cant find the fault

oh and here is a pic any way :P

nisskid, i reckon your car looks alright, because its thrashed. At least its getting thrashed in the way its meant too.

I wish there was a place near me to legally thrash a car but there's not.

yeh i dont care what "most" people think, but even though its primary use has nothing to do with looks, i do appreciate its looks for what it is, and i like other people whos opinion i respect to like it too.

but ultimately the car is my own, and it is for my own enjoyment, and i respect everyone who feels the same about their cars, even if what they do and how they do it isnt the same as me.

BUT, what does annoy me is people who arent really passionate about their car, and they are more worried about showing off and making others think they are hektik, they buy the car for the image rather than to actually enjoy, unfortunately this is all too common in the import/car community, and it taints the image of people who are genuinely passionate about their car.

lol i was playing around, imho i think ur wheels look terrible, but thats just me, just as im sure u think my car doesnt look the best. but theres nothing wrong with that, each to their own, as long as u are doing it for the right reasons i think its great.

last year my car was defected 3 times within less than 3 months of driving. i couldnt drive it for the first 4 months last year due to a broken foot, so the rest of the 8 months of the year were divided between between being off the road due to damage, being on defect, and some driving.

mines a daily.

it's maintained.

it's boring.

I'm not going to spend any money on it.

I don't like it.

It is not practical...

and it is for sale.

so after 2 R32's and 1 R33, I don't think I'll return to another skyline.

For good this time.

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
