If your mate is going to go in the Navy, tell him to wait. My cousin who was 19 at the time went into the army with a bug eye WRX, a month later of owning that he got a 350hp RB26 R32 GTS-4, then got (while with GTS-4) a VK SS Group A (which is his current bunky daily!!), then sold the 32 to get a 5ltr VT Clubbie which he put a twin turbo kit on, and then sold that to get a 500hp atw 32 GTR which is now sold and I have no clue as to what he's getting next. This was all in the space of one year!! You're always out to try and beat your fellow defence force pals.

When I was selling my R I had this co-worker wanting to buy the car for her son. The reason 'to keep my son at home, as he wanted to move out of home and he is mad about Skylines'. Maybe he should try that trick on his dad, but then his ol man might want him out as well hahahaha.

Yeh except it sounds like your cousin doesnt really know what type of car he wanted, he just bought them because they have a good rep. If you are gonna do that, then why not buy a Porsche or Ferrari? But me, gimme a R34 over any $500,000 car any day. Me and my mate are both just passionate about Skylines, and he also likes Silvia's.

Lol, he could try that trick if his dad still lived with him, but his parents are separated... Perhaps the reason his dad is so loaded... Lol JUST KIDDING =P

i dont know if someone has posted this up or not yet but its quite simple in terms of owning line.

if you cant afford to maintain/run it dont bother owning one. (this doesnt even include insurance where it starts from 1.5k+ a year)

if you want fuel efficient dont bother owning one. (although it depends on how you drive skylines thirst for fuel)

im missing a few bits here but im sure some of the boys here knows what it feels like to own a sky.

happy motoring =)

look Martin I think your missing the point. I'm trying to do a young fella a favour. There is a certain base in Perth that, for quite a while, was littered with new falcodores...slowly rusting away next to the beach. You have to be home to enjoy it mate. I didn't own a car for 18 months, I hired one every time I was home...worked out a cheaper

I didn't say he doesn't deserve it, I couldn't give a rats ass if he gets one to be truly honest. My income and lifestyle allow me to have the toys. If I were spending money on a 'Line at a proportional level to your mate I would have a brand new R35 in the drive way...cash

In the end your mate will or wont buy one. If he does and he turns up at a members cruise I will greet him like a good friend but as someone who has a bit of life experience I would try and talk him out of it. Just as I have with an other friend who bought one anyway. Buy a house.

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
