OK, u got me there :)

I inherited the rover from my uncle, if u saw it u would like it...he forged the engine, lowered it and fitted 16inch rims which were colour coded to the car (in fact runs the same rims as the texaco touring car) back in 80s. Besides, i thought u liked 80s cars haha

cool :)

way off topic, sorry guys...here is a pic.

for me, it has sooo much sentimental value - i plan to drop a monster engine in it, not sure if i'll go twin turbo on the current setup OR a big block to shake the earth :)

Slopey rover it is haha

It has less than 80,000km on it....uncle bought it, worked it, hardly drove it.

In the 80s it was considered advanced with its electronics and features- it made my dads torana ss look like a dinosaur hehe

any hi res of the group photo above?

got it off facebook so unless you can find one using the watermark or tinyeye..sorry :unsure:

DR30 RS' and HR31 GTS-R's will always be cooler than any 90's GTR

and better looking

Mid 80's styling ftw!

each to their own and there are some fit looking eighties cars out there (retro jap thread anyone?) but skyline wise i much prefer the nineties models. Just a personal preference though.

right so this one isnt really GTR's but..close enough?

Wow! Awesome pics there Pat!

I wonder why the first one was taken on a wet day on the docks though - not the best location I would have thought.

The second one above I'd seen before and I love it because when I first saw it I still had my 33 and to me, in that pic, the R33 looks the best as it seems to be riding the lowest and has all the series 3 stuff on it (and it's black :P)

The last pic is just... :woot: Haha

i thought photographers purposely made things wet as it made stuff shinier and cleaner, i know films often have the roads sprayed with water for those reasons. Your right though, the dock location is a little meh.

also true re the, does look pretty boss in that pic.

as rare as that is :P

The pic with the 4 gtrs displays a great comparison and to me the r32 rear end looks very bubbly and aggressive and the r34 looks quite sharp and square...the r35 is a mammoth beast and I luv it.

yeah it always blows my mind when i see how big the 35 is relative to the 34 etc..its like they come from a planet where everything including the drivers are bigger.

also typo in my last post which i cant edit, meant to agree with you about the lowered 33 looking bawwss like. Somehow didnt type 33. WTF me?!

anyway found a few more comparos. love this stuff!

This is cool. At what point did the Japanese think, "Oh! Actually we could just move the side mirrors to the doors!" Great pic though.

There is some off-topic reason why you chose this photo isn't there Pat?

190515_215949085085854_100000122923411_1046157_4945668_n.jpg

Yeah that black R34 looks MEGA.

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
