reminds me of that time in year 12 I layed a stripe down this chicks back.... Oh sorry wrong type of skids lol

Have you seen the school? the 40m burnout was probably on the gravel part next to the carpark!!

paste this into Google Maps - -38.00479,145.16102

This is such a typical comment.

Of course you don't buy a Skyline for your mentioned reasons, you buy one because they represent great performance/value, they are easy to mod, they look great and they are fast. Just because a skyline incorporates all these factors doesn't mean you have to drive like a cock knocker. THAT is the reason they are branded hoon cars, because of the immature f**ken toe rags that do this shit on the streets. THAT is what people are pissed off with.

yeh well mate my neighbours are pissed off cos my exhuast is loud.. and no i dont hoon in my own street you arent going to please everyone but honestly this forum is hypocritical you all (i would hope) drive modified imports and no matter how much denial you wish to inflict on yourselves have given ita squirt at some point or another dont give me all this "track" bs but really as soon as someone does a chirpie everyone is up in arms like a 84y.o grandpa on his porch after u do a burn out on his manicured lawn.. like really who cares this guy didnt fk the reputation and niether will the next guy its just part of it.. we are all to blame for every little traffic light grandprix or overzealous corner you have done thats why people hate them. so i guess everyone here is a cock knocker. what this is im not sure.. i know my cock knocks my knees but thats cos i gotta big wang :happy:

Was cruising in the rain along Footscray Road just now during lunch hour.

Saw this white R33 gtst with green P plates beating a red light through the junction. The lights were red even before he crossed the white line on the near side. Really disappointed with some of the younger skyline drivers.

An accident is just waiting to happen with that sort of driving attitude.

so what.. if i drive through a red light in my lexus does that tarnish the lexus brand? dont think so .. so why is it any different for a skyline.. some guys off here should work on aca soo sensationalist and awesome making a story out of nothing.

Because it happens way more with people driving Skylines/imports than Lexus. Did you really need this explained to you?

If it happened enough, then yeah it actually would tarnish the lexus brand...

im certain that ford/ holden / toyota's reputation isnt tarnished i am certain more of those cars run red lights and get speeding tickets

So you see dodgy/bogan looking commodores with P plates on and assume the driver is nice polite and courteous?

I really don't think so. Like it or not, attitudes do get welded to cars commonly doing stupid things/looking terrible/acting terrible.

yes they do.. skylines reputation has nothing to do with running red lights that is ridiculous i mean sure burn outs racing etc ill wear that but running red lights give me a break.. we gona start lynching skylines now ?

and plenty of commodore drivers are nice and polite and cant afford something better so dont generalise or else your as bad as the media who you complain about picking/victimising on skylines..

I had a great day Saturday I went for a drive to Geelong, car running like clockwork stereo full bore wind in my hair and sitting on 95km/h all the way there and back.

Down side, 5 cars put it on me for a drag, 1 Statesman, 1 XR 6, 1 Commadore and sadly 2 Skylines all in (full view) of traffic! boys boys boys, your letting the team down!!!

was it a dark blue stato with an advanced automotive workshop sticker on it? and the white non turbo xr6? were you in a black 33?

White Stato lowered, I was at the traffic lights just inside Geelong, he did a brake burnout then flew pass me... blue XR6 turbo right up my ass at Avalon I changed lanes and he flew pass me then lost interest ...Me silver GTR :)

Off topic much.....

alxr33 I like you, you're funny. You have some good points, I don't agree with them all, but at least you are not getting on the bandwagon.

Keep it up.

At the end of the day the kid was 18, skyline or not he would have done the same. Get over it.

lol i agree ^^^, seriously how many times to ppl flog their cars that are a part of SAU, a lot actually do it safely in controlled enviornment but still occationally do it on the roads :)

Everyone judges ppl on appears, time to man up and accept that a skyline does not equal gentleman or an grandma haha

there always is a bad apple in every bunch, deal with it!

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • 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.
