OK it looks like i have just bought one, my questions are going to start. Firstly it is from interstate. Does it have a spare wheel and tyre? space saver or other? secondly how much fuel does the tank hold, how far on average can you go on a tank full. the reason i ask is i may decide to drive it across OZ to WA . ROAD TRIP.

Thanks.

Tony.

Congratulations on your new R, the 2012 was worth the wait. In all honesty I would employ the services of a car carrying company to bring it over, preferably in a fully enclosed cartainer. No it does not come with a spare wheel, run flats are standard. Tank holds 70 litres, how far you will go on that depends on your right foot. You could get as much as 500kms from a tank but I've seen as less as 140Kms to tank. It's an amazing piece of engineering enjoy it.

Congrats on your purchase.

CEVA logistics would be an option if you wanted to get it sent over on the back of a truck.

They can get it on with hydrolics and its in an enclosed box the whole way.

Save the wear and tear, stone chips, added KM - etc.

Another freight option is the RV transport companies like openica logistics.

The Perth caravan show is on soon & lots of trucks will be running across with

vans on. If you can jag one that has 2 small ones on & they have room for a car as well

you might get a good price.

I bought my new R35 from Sydney & drove it back myself to Adelaide.

After having this R35 for 8 months, that is still the best drive I have had in it so far!

Definately got more chips/bugs than if it had been on a truck though!

Decided to drive it back, going to take a couple of days to do it, maybe the coast road NSW and Vic, then a blast accross the nullabour.

Enjoy the drive, I just hope you still have a license when you get back to WA! Watch those aerial patrols, they are the killers. Maybe you should invest in some counter measures before you start your journey.

To save some of the wear and tear -

do you honestly think sticky tape that is thinner than paper will stop stone chips when specifically designed clear bra needs to be around 8mm thick

ossie when I drove to willall in Adelaide I wrapped the entire front and sides with clear bra. I bought the material and lay it down with a mate ourselves, was messy in sections but didn't matter as it came off as soon as I got back

looking at the goop guys they have some stuff you paint on and it sets. the stuff below.

Already have some counter measures.

Yes he had other bids. so we went to 108k

The only issue at the moment is the weather over the east (flooding etc)

I wouldnt use standard sticky / duct / electrical tape, your right - that wouldnt do anything.

However in the picture I found on google, that looks like cloth tape to me.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.

      Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.

      Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
