Spotted two really nice Skylines today, both on Seven Hills Road.

First was a wine red or red over silver two-tone R31 Silhouette with BBS-style mesh wheels near Cropley Drive.

Second was a black R32 GTSt, also with mesh wheels (different to the '31, though) on the border of Bella Vista.

Both cars were VERY clean!

Saw a grey 4dr R32 like mine with black front bar (I think) going into Westfield carpark. Anyone know him? Shits me that SAU doesn't have a Newcastle Spotted thread :D

Also saw a pearl white 4dr R33 near KFC Kotara.

Start up a Newcastle spotted thread Jimmy. Im always spotting skylines around Newy

spotted a white r34 without a wing driving westbound on victoria road dundas, gave me a wave but i am alittle slow at these things..... i was the silver r33 gtst waiting at the lights

saw a mad looking 350gt on woodcroft rd with the drivers side door totally crumpled. i was retarded with my camera and couldnt get a pic. pity dude - looks like you had left your door open and someone drove into it? or you reversed into something with your door open. unlucky anyways - your car is hot.

spotted xmetal drinking my jim beam at erina tonight

also spotted qantas at the round about at wyoming(the one that goes accross the train line) i was in my gf's car..i beeped the horn!

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
