hey wassup guys i have recently invested in a n/a r34 and the question i want to know is why are all people that buy commodores so ignorant to n/a skyline owners? i have since met people that say "whats the point of buying a skyline thats not even turboed' (hence quoted by a commonwhore driver) they also said "my car would beat any n/a skyline in 1st".

So what i want to know is why are most commonwhore drivers ignorant to n/a skyline owners? and how should i deal with this person that i have to work with and if you guys have had any problems with this issue.

cheers jarrod

Just like to say that i've got a bombadore and all its good for is burnouts and first gear drifting although fun definatly no where near as good as any nissan, i've got everything done to it, its a six as well n/a and the shit box cant even do second and i've gone through 3 gear boxes trying lol what kind of car is that a joke maybe but seriously shit anyway if i didn't LOVE GTR's so much i'd have a gts as well but i guess you get what you pay for, as for the people givin ya a hard time just bring up bathurst and the whole 91 and 92 supremesy NISSAN OWENED THEM ALL, as an engine though the neo kills any ecotec and after market support is in the fist fulls so just pump a bit of coin into it then tell them man up on the quater. FAITH in the "dan u" 'nis' "san" piece icon10.gif

other than the fact that you sound like a muppet, i think you need to learn how to do skids better. commodores are the in thing where i live and i've seen plenty of them able to fry second gear.

also you would know that commodore gearing is much taller than skyline gearing, hence why it is slightly harder to do skids in higher gears.

and the nissan winning at bathurst thing is pretty pointless as anyone with half a brain knows that you can't directly compare a full blown group A car to a road car

but back on topic, the easiest thing to say to a commodore driver is "have you ever driven one? and when they say no, reply with "well until you have actually driven one, you aren't exactly in a position to say whether they are good or not. racing against one doesn't mean a thing because that person may not have been able to drive for shit"

I say the exact same thing. The only NA Skylines worth buying are V35 350GTs or KPGC10s.

So what i want to know is why are most commonwhore drivers ignorant to n/a skyline owners?

Ignorant? They're not the guys who bought a non turbo R34. Giving you crap for it, as impolite as it is, puts them on the correct side of the "should I have bought a RBxxDE powered car?" question.

ffs, not another one of these threads. :P

+1 ;)

its a stupid comparison, how can u compare a 4litre car to a 2.5lt, even tho a lot of N/A skylines can do better than commodores. and for v8 drivers complaining about turbo being "cheating" is jus stupid. the fact that a well tuned 2.5 straight 6 can beat a 5.7 or 6lt v8 is too much for them to take..

f*&k, wat am i tlkin about,,jus read the other thread about this.

+ 1 on the pointless RBXXDE argument - Its like when Miss R34 had her car at the local car show, and a fair few people were interested in it (bogans) until a mate told em that it was a NON turbo lol.

:)

Even with the bonnet open at a car show they probably wouldnt be able to tell the difference

lol well they assumed that with all the fancy wheels, graphics and front bar that it had to be something special, they were disappointed though lol.

To me having an N/A other than a Dirty 30 classic Skyline or V35 is kind of like doing a chick who's had a double masectomy. Sure its a female still, but it's just not the same, and it feels like there are a few things missing.

AHAHAHAH wtff lol you just made my day

so i guess its easy to fool bogans into thinkin u got a turbom just have a cd with a track that plays blow off valve noises and play it wen u drive

    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
    • It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
