Dad came home from doing some shopping in Tuggeranong yesterday afternoon to tell me he had seen someone driving a Black Skyline with flames over the bonnet throwing the car sideways through the car park, before going over the speed hump at around 80 km/h throwing sparks everywhere, then more sideways, then hitting four or so cars on the way out... Anyone in Tuggers yesterday can maybe back up his story, cause sounds a little..... talked up to me...

sad to see, doesnt mean you have to leave the forums though, im soon going to be driving round in an older commodore but i'll still be coming to cruises and events.

Andrew :bs!: - Say it aint true. Work more hours, walk the streets of Fyshwick late at night. Just dont get rid of your girl. She says she's sorry and I'm sure she means it this time. You dont really need to da anything silly like a Wife, Child and house's.

But if it's time to move on I Got a spare Nissan Badge you can put on your ride. What about welding on a front cut and...Awww Shucks! It just sucks!

lol how about a vl with a skyline front? sky-odore?

its all good, its actually a nice clean VL of a friends im getting,nissan engine at least, has a nice big stereo, very comfy and air con (thank god for air con on days like this)

besides im over the car in a lot of ways, i cant throw the obscene amounts of money at it that i want to, so its kinda an all or nothing thing.

but i'll put GTR badges all over it, and big skyline performance decals on it. :bs!: :slap:

See it in Civic & Braddon mainly, Asian owner.

Hey people. Some idiot hacked my gf's e-mail and after sending spam from it and being a general idiot he decided to give it back. only problem is he set a new password and gave me a riddle to solve to get it. It's as follows

2 words - but you have to work it out .

Not the password - ion,t,ti,ca,u,at,hne, 1st word mixed - 2nd word mixed e,d,r,o,v,p,a,p

Any ideas? I know the second word is 'approved' but i just can't figure out the first?

nah im honestly kinda looking forward to just driving something basic, that has a nice stereo, and a good cruiser. and as much as i hae to admitt it, i think i'll enjoy the VL for those reasos, but pulsars go ok.

currently thinking about getting this one.... http://www.cardomain.com/id/x_a_d_0_0_d

specs: 88 n13 nissan exa turbo

ca18det engine out of a 180sx

11 000kms on the engine

156 000kms on the car

gold/woodgrain paint job

manual

vg30 turbo

front mount intercooler

turbosmart type 1 bov

nx alloy rims

2" exhaust to a 4" cannon

series 3 seats

lowered on monroe gt gas shocks and pedders springs

tripple core radiator

new timing belt

new water pump

new rocker cover gaskets

tint

central locking

tyres and brakes in good condition

boost guage

new battery

rhino car alarm

comes with heaps spares… odd bits, standard 180 quarter mount intercooler, spare t25 and few other bits….

will need about 2k to get it finished and fully registered (water pump and a few other small things also need replacing) but its not likey as i'll have to get it sent from sydney and without having someone up there fully inspecting it its to risky. but i'd love to go back to an exa, but it just seems like way to much hassle when i could get the vl as a good cruiser for $3500

Canberra was line fest on the weekend. At the corner of Belconnen Way and something else I saw in about 30 seconds, a black 33 with a big SKYLINE written across the back window, a nice white 33 with a black guy driving, a maroon 33 and another white one.

Canberra roads are good for lines methinks.

    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
