Hello!

Keefe here, originally from Singapore(Still in Singapore, actually :) ), and I'm temporarily moving down to Australia, Victoria for the next two years to study.

Hoping to be part of the exciting Skyline family in Australia, and getting pointers on how to complete all the paper work when you transfer ownership between cars in VIC.

Cheers!

Is UOM university of melbourne? If thats the case, you're pretty close to rmit.

What do you need to know about eh? Be patient when looking for your car, drive many, and don't convert your singaporean license to the victorian one, you can drive fine with our singaporean license.

Check out carsales.com.au

RMIT? Sorry, I thought you meant Monash! Hip hip hoorah then. I might just be seeing your around town.

Drive many? In that sense, try as many cars there as you can before you make a decision? And cool, I figured just as much reading VicRoads, but there are still questions that they don't answer fully, or rather, are quite ambiguous in that sense.

And finally, yes, already gone over and seen that webbie. Quite a nice number of cars there, tbh. Looks like I'll just have to shortlist and then make decisions. Your input is most welcome!

Frankly, i know shit about cars, i just drive them, and send them to a mech if something goes wrong.

But generally they're pretty reliable, the RB/SR engines. Read around on the forum, under the turbo/nonturbo sections and you should learn way more. Check out the vic section too.

    • Thanks Dose.....    I appreciate it!!
    • I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.
    • I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.   
    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.

    • Ha ha ha, so they stopped the bearings spinning on the one you want, but then decided the crank hub should slip instead 😛   Stick to RB, at least you can work on it yourself. And now it doesn't smell of vapour   Also I still believe there's a chance your new flap doesn't "pop", as even though the engine might breath hard, it has a direct path with no restriction to the inlet, which when on boost should pull a bit of suction for you. If you do get pressure in the catch can id be very intrigued. Time to put a boost gauge on it, and a session at the track, then solid cover your vent and do another session
