Hello! When i start my engine there seems to be a massive lag, like a semi flat battery. I've checked the battery, and its all fine. its done this since i got it like 2 weeks ago. It also makes a sort of grating sound. My friend suggested it was the turbo having to built up pressure or something, but i think thats b/s lol. Please tell me what you think :D

that grating sound is the relay not letting the starter retract from the ring gear. Not a real biggie. I have that sound too esp on a COLD morning.

I just crank her over a few times without starting, then start and usually the sound wont happen.

pretty much every skyline iv checked has been bout 13.3-13.8 volts

connect up a set of jumper leads before going out and buying a new starter

its a 2min job

According to my power fc hand controller my volts are between 14.0 and 14.4, most of the time 14.2

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
