My skyline has served me well, but it looks like after six years it will be sold by the weekend..........

Im just tossing up what to get now?

I dont think anything is going to fill the void.

The top of the list so far is a

Jeep Wrangler!

But yeh i still have no idea...

the ones with the massive wheels are interesting... especially when they're shiney black with chrome bits and huge wheels...

not this big, but you get the idea :)

Do what I've done for the last 10 years. I always loved my Nissans but I also go snowboarding, mountain biking, fishing, etc. and needed a 4WD. In '93 I introduced myself to the cult world of Suzuki Sierra ownership which enabled me to also hang on to my Skyline at the time. Now I've owned 3 and my bro still has the first one I got, an '83 with Toyota 5K and headers. My current one is a '97 coil sprung that I bought new and traded my Ti on it. Never regret the Suzi, do regret selling the Skyline. A few weeks and I'm back my old position.

By the way, my Suzi has a 2" lift and 235 Kuhmo's and I still haven't found anywhere I can't go.

Yeh mountain biking too...

but the sierra is a bit small, and the wrangler has a 4 litre 6 six cylinder :)

although its a bit of an old design;

4.0L In-line overhead valve 6-cylinder

Fuel System Sequential multipoint Electronic Fuel Injection

Power (kW @ rpm) 130 @ 4,600

Torque (Nm @ rpm) 296 @ 3,500

Compression ratio 8.75:1

Capa have a bolt on supercharger kit for $6000!! :ak47:

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
