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 )

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
