Hello Australia from Siberia!!!I have a Skyline R33 ECR Type-S, RB25DE, 5 manual. At this moment in Krasnoyarsk temperature is -27C degrees, my Skyline is in very hard situation. Sometimes it falls to -40C, -47C :laugh::P:P . But there is one + , I can drift all over the road :P:D:D .

Japan cars are the BEST!!!!

:D:D

In Canada they plug there engines into something to stop them from freezing, do you do the same thing over there? Or do you just defrost it the next day ? :D

Are those temperatures only in winter?

Reminds me of a winter I had in Edmonton Alta. (where yes, they warm the block by plugging it in to the household elec.)

Any salting of the roads there?

Went to St Petersburg in '04; but the visit was arranged for June; not winter!

Terry_GT-R34 - no, here roads are sandind (sand), its dont help too much. LSD is helping in that situation.

some_cs_student - time clock. At extreme cold weather, time clock starting the engine each hour. It works some (15-20 min) time and shutting down automatically. Here 8 month in the year is winter (in Jan and Feb super cold) .

johnd320 - 50 % anti freeze (Castrol) 50 % water. It helps up to -50 cold.

DR JOSH - We dreaming about 15C :D:)

sneakey pete - lets change locations :D:D

P.S. sorry for my English ;)

Thanks for the reply.

Another question:- How do you source and locate parts and reliable troubleshooting information? I mean there's no Russian translation of a workshop manual (and English is not your 1st language - not that English translation material is that easy to come by either).

Has the Skylines Australia forum or the "ClubSkyline.RU" site been helpful to you? If so, in what way?

Your english seems fine to me :)

8 months winter....don't think I could deal with that, but the time clock on the car is an interesting concept, I was wondering how it survived without freezing :)

Heres mine in Hokkaido, Japan across the road from you guys. Our winter weather comes from Siberia, not as cold as you but does get down to nearly -25+ !

I forgot to put the car in the garage last xmas eve and woke up with hellish hangover and 2 hrs snow shovelling to dig my car out.

The anti-freeze I use is called booze!! Keeps me warm on the inside while well lubricated to function in the cold!!

My guess is you guys in Russia would get parts direct from Japan seeing there are heaps of people exporting cars to Russia from Japan.

Good to see the GTR emblem is still visible :D

Hicas: Your english is fine, actually its very good. Are there any problem arising from the cold climate? Rust?

Terry_GT-R34 - thanks to Japan engineers, Skyline still reliable even after 14 yers exploitation, and milage about 270.000 KM (My Sky is 1995 year production), Iam using this Sky 2.5 years, in that period I only change clutch disc (Koreian, I burn it during drifting :P , it costs 60$) , 2 links (QSTEN STB-109 45$) and fuel pump (Masuma 85$, quality of gasoline in Russia is awful). Its normal. In the same period of using, Russian car would collapsed. Of course http://www.clubskyline.ru/ helping some times. There are many users of Skylines, Silvias, Cefiros and other Nissans, there we sharing experience :P

elrodeo666 - You right. There is a site ( http://injapan.ru/ ) from which, you can order any part you Skyline need.

Some time before, I order there a Cusco turnbuckle (125$)

Btw , how much costs Skylines in Japan? Let it be BCNR-33 1995-96 year, or ECR33 with RB25DE?

Let me show you, my elder brother Skyline ---->

And some flaming

:D

Your English is fine ! Certainly better than a lot of others on here!

I could NOT deal with that weather. I seriously feel like capping myself having to live thru a Perth Winter.

( maybe 2 deg C is the lowest it gets)

How do you work on your car? heated workshops I suppose.

So do I understand this right that your car starts itself every hour and runs for 20 mins then shuts itself down ?

Thats pretty cool ! ( pun intended )

    • Good tips, will get on those tomorrow. When doing the maintenance I did move a few of those connectors around, and things that are old tend to not like moving around. (Like me).
    • Don't try it. It will be shit. Better chance of damaging the engine than gaining any knowledge about the old one. Maybe, but unlikely, especially if the O2 sensor is working. You can use NissDataScan to look at the stock ECU.   Cleaning the AFM is seldom necessary and seldom helps. The R35 coil & loom conversion should eliminate dud coils or plugs. But as you still have misses - look to the plug where the coil loom connects to the engine loom, and the CAS plug. Need quality connections there. Also look to injector plugs. And the AFM plug while you're at it. Also look to whether your injectors are clean and flowing evenly. Get them out and onto a testbench.
    • Good to know, I feel like I am in for a rollercoaster ride that looks like a sine wave. 
    • You'll fit right in. Acceptance is the first step.
    • Hey folks. I've been lurking and browsing the forum for a while, since I got into my head that I wanted a skyline. Having purchased an overpriced completely stock GTT, (only "mods" it has is HKS pod filter and catback) now that it became legal in the US, it was all glorious and sututu noises here and there. But then I wanted to do things right and went to do basic maintenance. After all the fluids, filters done, I did the spark plugs, that's when the problems started.. First the car started spluttering at around 4.5k RPM. Which I gapped down the new plugs and that solved the sputter there, but the car now always misfires at idle with pops when lifting off and shifting 2nd to 3rd. Similar to the issues in this recent thread. I've been banging my head against the wall, reading the threads here and trying suggestions for a couple months now, so decided to start this one to explain exactly what I tried and what is going on. The symptoms of the issue: Idle and low revs misfiring intermittently. You can hear the exhaust tone change and the shakes on the shifter knob. It happens frequently, but doesn't seem to have a rhythm to it. Pops when backing off throttle. It pops and or burbles almost feels like it spits fire when it pops. (Happens mostly in 3rd gear at around 2k RPM). When under load and after 6k RPM, it also pops when shifting from 2nd to 3rd. There's a ticking noise at around 2k RPM in 2nd gear going downhill, seems unrelated though but I am out of educated and downright dumb guesses. Not noticeable lack of power when putting the car into load. The attempted diagnosis and solutions: Unplugging coils when the car is running This did nothing to change the idling and tone shift for every cylinder. Checking the exhaust headers with thermometer They all are within what I'd say it is margin of error of the laser thermometer New spark plugs Tossed two new sets, copper, iridium and using the old ones, still misfiring, even re gapped to 0.8mm, still same thing. MAF cleaned with the "specific" spray cleaner No changes in the issues what so ever. Brand new loom and r35 coil conversion (was going to add the r35 coils anyway) car runs arguably better, still misfires, but seems like does less frequently. Placebo? Code 21 now being thrown, thanks nissan gods. Removed the CAS to check the shaft for play or anything. CAS seems all fine, nothing that indicates any issue, visually speaking. Things to attempted next: Ordered a new MAF (chinesium from Amazon, to be able to return regardless of result). Fuel with proper gas, maybe it is this California water that they sell as gas that is to blame? Plugin the link ECU and check the info using the built in base map. Go back to BMW and eat my rob bearing breakfast without milky oil mixture.   Do any of you have experienced anything like this or have any suggestion?
