they don't impress me at all, if you have ever driven one for a long time and are over 6 ft tall or worked on one you know they aren't put together very well compared to a lexus or even a honda ???

they look nice

draws chicks like flies on shite, (mostly gold diggers!!)

sound nice

drive a few was a huge disapointment.

but to each his own I guess

bet they would frown upon us low class skyline drivers showing them up on the curcuit track ..lol

If thats what it takes for you to make yourself feel better because you will never own one in your life than so be it. They are not track built cars, they are prestige sports cars, so saying that you will show them up on the track stiff shit. They are still worth more than the house you will never own.

Do you see an F1 Skyline? NO but you do see a F1 Ferrari.

Different philosophies at work

Scuderia Ferrari sell road cars to fund their racing ambitions. Pure and simple. This is why Tifosi are so fanatical

Nissan create the best road going cars they can as that is their primary focus. Their racing ambitions come secondary. This is extremely common (think Mercedes/AMG, Porsche/RUF, Nissan/Nismo, Holden/HSV, Ford/FPV etc). These manufacturers only do racing to get prestige among certain market segments.

You cannot compare the two. Ferraris, Lambos, etc, are wild to rock on a track, but you try to reverse them into a parallel park, or even an angle park, you'll be swearing more than a pissed sailor on shore leave...

Some perspective should be used when comparing any Brand, let alone models. Their motives determine what kind of car they produce.... for good or bad..

While thats nice it shouldnt be forgotten all car companies exist for one reason - to make as much profit as possible to keep the board happy.

Very few of them do it for the love :dry:

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
