Hey all first post, I'm also on SAU,

Resident of Victoria,

Always loved skylines an have wanted one since... Well NFS2 was released lol ( kinda lame but it's the truth..)

I've got a R34 25Gt sedan model, which is stunning in bayside blue :D

It's a shame I'm on my P's cause I would have got the same model 25 Det-t but as a coupe lol

I've spent a fair amount of $$$ on it esp when I first bought it

Now it has no issues and runs alright but it's not getting a lot of power due to the ECU still from the at when it was a turbo...

But that's alright cause I'm putting a turbs back in as soon as I'm off my P's :) (in 3 years.. Sigh...)

I was lookin to get a cf bonet put on but reading how blits are the only ones who sell ADR approved n I can't get onto their site it may have to wait, I love the look of the black cf bonnet on bayside blue :)

Will post a pic l8r

Anyway that's me n my car :)

wait, i'm not clear on this, but are you saying that the car had a turbo on it, or just the ecu was from a car that was turbo? if it was a factory turbo that you have pulled the turbo off then there are 2 things to mention (other than asking the question of why bother?). 1: the car is still registered as a turbo, therefore it is still illegal to drive on your P's. 2: it isn't the ecu making it produce less power, but the fact that it runs lower compression than the non turbo model, so even with a natro ecu it would still be about 30% down on power.

i bought it as an X-turbo

still has the big brakes, ecu etc...

if its illegal still well that's a problem.. as far as i know most of its been ripped out...

im sure its legal, been looked over by "authority figures" a few times and well they havent said anything.. but maybe they only know as little as i do?

more often than not you will get away with it, but if you get a cop who wants to get you on a technicality then they have you bent over a barrel.

but the question still remains as to why anyone would want to take the turbo off a turbo engine and run it natro. people have done it before and proved that it is a bad idea as you end up with a car putting out about as much power as a hyundai excel, and i'm not joking about that either. your car is probably putting out about 70hp at the wheels. to put this into perspective, a small 4 cylinder hatch such as a corolla is probably putting out a handful more hp, but weighs in a few hundred kgs less. so without being too rude, what you have is purely a posers car. all looks and absolutely no go.

if the car has had a factory non turbo motor put in but is simply running off the turbo ecu then it's not so much of an issue, but without the correct tune on the ecu it may just be a matter of time before something lets go.

Hey Erin, welcome to sau :cheers:

Blitz would be heaps expensive/hard to find. if your really want carbon, get your bonnet wrapped in dry carbon looking vinyl, im getting my bonnet and maybe even boot done pretty soon :happy:

It lasts around 6 years and costs only a fraction of real carbon bonnet, so its great for a temporary fix for your carbon craving :laugh:

and like Marc stated, the lack of power your experiencing is probs your engine compression, the factory rb25de runs higher compression then an rb25det.

would luv 2 c pic tho, i absolutely heart bayside blue :wub:

No surprise to see mr negative welcoming a new member in this way, I thought that being a ''moderator'' you would take on the role of not belittleing someones first post on SAU when all she way trying to do was introduce herself and her car, but no, in true form all you can manage to do is bag her car out like you do every non turbo or P plater even though you know that she didn't de-turbo it she bought it like that. As for why would it would be de-turbod, while some people know that its not the best idea, not everyone in the world does and sometimes people learn from their own mistakes.

These are the type of responses that make people not want to participate at all, myself included.

At least she has a Skyline and is trying to participate on a Skyline forum, not just thinking she knows everything, about everything, all the time, and bagging out non turbo skylines and P platers whenever they are mentioned.

At least she has some passion about her car, the way I see it, it is you that is the poser.

Don't see how he is belittling her hey, he's just pointing out the facts. And not wanting to participate? What is this, school yard fun time? Unless you're here to get attention and approval from other people, why would you care what anyone else thinks?

Anyway, welcome to SAU Erin, I'm sure you'll learn lots if you read the info on here :) what Marc said about your car is pretty accurate, though if you think you can put up with it for 3 years, then enjoy it :)

Sounds more like you have a 25GT-V which has the big brakes, strut bars, etc that a turbo model has.

I recently imported my GTV from Japan and when I registered it I made no mention of it having or not having a turbo, no badge names were mentioned.

My car simply shows up as "NISSAN SKYLINE (IMPORT)". Police can rego check all day long, It won't show up as turbo or not, unlike ADM delivered vehicles.

The only way to check would be to use a nissan vin check program to see what it came with at factory?

Welcome to SAU, Erin.

you have obviously confused the roles of moderators with some form of forum kiss-ass. we are here to make sure that the rules are followed. besides i'm not a moderator of this section, just a general participant. plenty of more blunt posts by other mods and admins on here.

as for belittling her, i wasn't doing that, simply pointing out some facts to her. and at no point was i bagging out non turbo skylines in this thread. i was bagging out turbo skylines with the turbo removed though, as it needs as much attention drawn to how bad of an idea it is to do so that anyone new to skylines, who thinks they might do this to save a few bucks and get around P plate restrictions, knows why it isn't more commonly done.

Wow O__O,

Its ok people I'll take it all as good criticism ^__^

And everyone loves their own car :)

Its ok if u wana bag my car but I'm trying to follow the rules even when cops at pulling me over for doing "92" Down a road that I only 70kms, n doing an "illegal u-turn" but hey I'm still gunna drive the way I always do n that's safe cause I love my car n I don't wana see it either impounded or written off I'm happy cruising around :)

Thanks for the hello's everyone it's good to see how much support there is on here ^__^

N to be honest when I bought the car (from power Road car sales, never again...)

I believed the car was an all stock non-turbo as in built like that but it's cool, I've been paying for the car ever since but ive never dreamed of getting rid I it (I think I'm attached to it :)

But it's alright)

Still loving it :)

Also, how can I telling it's a GT-V?? Lol sorry I'm good with guessing the problems n my UNO friends think I'm some kinda grease monkey but I'm only with the basics which is why I'm on the forum invade I need ur guys's help ^__^

I'm also having trouble posting pictures ( when I try it says to contact the administrator)??

Do you have blue GT badges on the sides of your front fenders?

Do you have a 25GT badge on the rear of your car?

You could use the VIN fasting thread on this site to see what your car really was at factory.

Does the rocker cover/engine cover say "Turbo" on it? Do you have the same intake manifold as the pic below?

GTV will be a non turbo skyline with the turbo brakes and strut bars, etc.

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By MissMintyR33 · Posted

      Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan.
