So his definition of a boat is a car that doesn't appear to "go" and looks overly heavy and unable to pull off of it's own weight.

R33 GTS N/A '93 RB25DE

*He has not been in my car nor seen it take off.

So I was just asking your opinion on this, is my car really a fkn yacht or is he just talking crap because he still drives his mummy's camry?

One other thing, I have a blazt ecu cable and every time I plug it into any of the 3 laptops I have the USB is never detected (All different OS's and Admins) but when I plug it into my PC it detects and installs.

Thanks guys

Check legacy usb is enabled in bios of laptops?

Secondly, skyline>camry, however yes its a boat as it is slow and if stock suspension then high with alot of body roll....

What do you care what your mate thinks anyway.

with the RB25DE your in the same league as Lexus XE10, BMW E46 Inline 6....these are cars that are just used for smooth Cruising and to look good while doing it, and there is no point of thrashing the nuts of them because they are not meant to be Performance Cars. If you start comparing it to Turbo Skyline then YES its a Boat, but put it in it league and it does well.

Lol not even in the same ball park as the M54 engines.

Not to mention any E46 325/330 would smoke a GTS Skyline given that they do 0-100 in under 7.5s (330 does it in 6.5).

Who cares,they are not even worth Racing or going fast in they are both slow.

Last time I checked 6.5 seconds is pretty good for a NA 6 cylinder in a luxury vehicle. Given that your RB25DE would do 8-10...

My point was the M54 BMW straight 6 is a fantastic engine with good engineering and should not be classed as being in the same league as a RB25DE.

Rather an RB though these guys from NZ claim to be Abusing there $700 R32, RB25DE for a solid 4 years and its still not letting up, though they Break like 50 Laws in this video, Maybe Underpowering the RB25DE was a move by NIssan to add Durability to a Engine you would not get with a Turbo.

They are slow. Turbo skylines which are stock as a rock are also quite slow but still not bad for a small turbo motor. There aren't much for the price you can get which are quicker. A slightly boosted turbo skyline with the basic mods(exhaust and probably cooler) is faster than a BMW M3. I had about 180rwkw when I was stock and I managed to get ahead and infront of the M3 bmw V8. Just enjoy the car.

When you are able to get a turbo, you will love it. A skyline with greater than or equal to 200rwkw is a very fun, nice, powerful and fast car.

Love the video above, not many 2.0NA motors can do that!

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
