And we all know how good the frogs are at car design...........long live the citreon, the renault, and the peuguot, with out a doubt the three ugliest looking cars ever made.

:bs!:

C'mon Trident, don't be so one-eyed. You might have missed the fact that Citreon, Peugeot and Renault are makes, with a whole range of cars and histories going back over 100 years each. Did you know Peugeot claim to have made the world's second car, in 1889, one year after Benz did the first? Obviously not. So you know how good the frogs are at car design?!! Dismissing them as "the three ugliest looking cars ever" just puts you in the same book as the "I hate the other lot", narrow minded Falcadore lovers. In case you missed it, the Peugeot 607 Coupe was voted by the World's motoring press as one of the most beautiful cars ever. Only seen a handful in Oz, but a marvelous car. Peugeot have been World Rally Champions loads of times and are still leaders in that sport. The Citreon DS series and the Renault 5, whilst idiosyncratic, were the most innovative cars of their day and used technology way ahead of the rest of the world. (If you have a 4x4 with self levelling air suspension, thank the designers of the Citreon DS, in the 1960s!!) Peugeots and Renaults are just about the only cars to buy in Africa -they are the only cars to stand up to African roads and conditions, because their construction is so rugged.

I am not a fan of the French or their cars, but I cannot stand people being dismissive in their attitudes. If you are supposed to be a car enthusiast, you should know more about them! Give credit where it is due. Otherwise, you just descend to the level of the one make, one eyed bigots, who allow the Australian motor manufacturers to continue to give us crap and then prevent us bringing in to this country what we actually want to drive!!

Just thought you might like to ponder that!

Cheers.

C'mon Trident, don't be so one-eyed.  You might have missed the fact that Citreon, Peugeot and Renault are makes, with a whole range of cars and histories going back over 100 years each.  Did you know Peugeot claim to have made the world's second car, in 1889, one year after Benz did the first?

Being first doesn't mean its good...............

 Obviously not.  So you know how good the frogs are at car design?!!  Dismissing them as "the three ugliest looking cars ever" just puts you in the same book as the "I hate the other lot", narrow minded Falcadore lovers.  

I didn't say that, I quite like some other automobiles, I actually like the look of my Skyline, I also happen to like the look of Supra's, Monaro's, De Tomasa's, Lotus's, GTHO's, Corvette's, '68 Mustangs, Transam's, Ferrari's, etc etc etc

.........

In case you missed it, the Peugeot 607 Coupe was voted by the World's motoring press as one of the most beautiful cars ever.  Only seen a handful in Oz, but a marvelous car.

Big wank, they hand out credos to a lot of cars, some [such as the Austin Marina] won many awards, didn't help them, they faded into a long forgotten history.........

 Peugeot have been World Rally Champions loads of times and are still leaders in that sport.

As are the Evo, the WRX, and the Corolla, but they don't own Nissan, so are not mentioned........................

You want innovation, try anything from just about any manufacturer, Cadillac, Jaguar, Lincoln, Ferrari, etc etc etc

 Peugeots and Renaults are just about the only cars to buy in Africa -they are the only cars to stand up to African roads and conditions, because their construction is so rugged.

Ya gotta be kiddin' me, remember apartheid, the french were one of the few nations that ignored it [unofficially]. Anyway, all I've ever seen in Africa was Landrovers, and they are a whole new novel...................................

I'm fine with that, I don't want to drive any Citreon, Peugeot, or Renault, never, ever, period..................................

The V35 still looks like a recycled Citreon, I have res-ponder-d [apologies for the spelling.]

unless they put a 5ltr, push rod, 2 valve per cylinder donk in the new skyline you'll never seen it run against the likes of v8 supercars, who cares anyway, already beat them at that game a few times, do you really need to embaress them again, they will just make a new formatt up again and rule the nissan out. thing i can't get my had around is they don't even run the V8's they sell there cars with!!!!!!

Personally I'm not sold on the new shape, looks like a maxima!

Hi I just got my hand on the v35 maxima look alike I am with you I don't go for the look at all But the rest of the car is sweet

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
