hey guys,

im moving to newcastle tomorrow and the daily will cost me less money and be more comfortable to drive, may be selling it after wakie in march >.<!

ANYWAYS, just wondering what i should do to the skyline? i heard you need to put additives in the fuel tank?

i asked dad to take it for a drive every week but i know he wont haha.

from virgin white. to ruxis do not add any additives to your fuel tank, eg, octane boost or injector as these additives cause a pink colour around the cars spark plugs thus ,it will ruin your spark plugs as all skyline cars use platinium plugs @ around $22.00 per plug so unless you have plenty of money to replace the plugs do not use any additives to your cars fuel tank and likewise do not use additives to the cars engine oil, use only the best fuel available 98 ron. change your engine oil and oil filter every 5000 ks hope to see you and your car at the robertson pie shop cruise on 11/03/12 regards laurie.

Hey Laurie,the expensive plugs are ok on an unmodded liner,but once you get the mod bug there no good.High boost you need to be useing cheap coppers bcpr7es is what i use.There would'nt be many stock skylines around here these days. Genelle. :cheers:

My skyline has just an exhaust ATM, usually got a pod and boost controller on butttttt my daily sold SOOOO SKYLINE IS MY DAILY! until wakie in march then may sell.

Plus I do run platinum plugs :) bout 5,000 kms ago. (screw pulling the throttle body and intake apart every service!!!)

That's some good advice virgin white. I'll defineatley keep that in mind, although I won't be parking it as planed :)

you have a GTT intake, it takes all of 20 mins.. suck it up princess!

My manifold takes close to an hour to do plugs because of throttle cable and solenoids getting in the way..

    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
