Yeah and us 4 door owners stick together.  You just try and divide us!

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=33334

If R34's were eligble thats what I would get no questions about it. Maybe I should wait the 2 months and see if anybody has plates. but with my info i think it will be close to 6 months before anybody has plates

Not picking a fight but name me a 6cyl, locally delivered sedan available for under $20K with as much street cred and performance potential as a Skyline...

 

4 Doors go faster!! :O

what about a maxima for like 20-23k? it's got a decent motor, locally delivered which will improve resale, you can get like a 98-2001 model, it's just as luxurious on the inside and you get log books! or a magna

* edit: and you'll actually be able to insure it for a reasonable price (half the price with a *big* company which has pretty much anything goes policies)

MAGNA AHAHAHHA sorry i hate them nah for the price id pay for a 4 door for a local car ud only get maybe a VT commo at an auction.

How i luv this trade

Fair call... And it's still a Nissan... :O But not really performance oriented being FWD and pimped up inside...

Magna... Strong car but no thanks... Just another plebmobile to me...

Neither car has as much potential as a Skyline...

Insurance on my Skyline is not a problem as I'm 27, Rating 1... Might be a hassle for the younguns though...

E55? Hell yeah! Way out of my price range though...

Go the 4 door

I found that insurance is cheaper

they are not as common

dont draw as much unwanted attention from the boys in blue.

more fun when you pull up at the lights as others dont always recognise it as a skyline - untill they see my tail lights :-)

I dont mind an auto, (though there are manuals out there or you could convert one) as IMHO a turbo and auto combination is quicker for mild street level upgrades.

2.5L turbo, 4wd, 4ws, Stegea's are not that expensive.

I think you may have been getting confused with the very limited Autech (sp?) GTR equiped models.

Just consider that the 4wd will rob some power from the motor. But with a few mods you can make these thing boogy :).

Personally i would love to get one of these and transfer all my mods over from my coupe. Simply because it is more unique and has the 4wd.

Nothing like a RB25/30 combo with ported heads and a 500-600hp roller-bearing turbo, to compensate for the lack of the RB26DETT engine, that comes with the AUTECH version :).

:P

I love my 4 door, they are just as much fun as the 2 doors but more practical. I decided to get one after I had my silvia for a year and 2 doors just pissed me off.

    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • 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.
