More than likely had a few mods, I mean a GTR that is 15 years old is bound to have encountered some fiddling here and there

The fact that it is still going strong means that whatever it had done to it, was performed properly and has done no real damage, and must have had a owner that looked after it

Errr Ok then.

Most 15 year old Japanese imports have been looked after by one mature gentleman owner, who never revved it over 2000rpm on his way to the pachinko parlour and had installed a triple plate clutch to help exercise his new artificial hip. Doctors advice. Get real! Nothing wrong with an old thrasher. They are well cool!

Next you will be telling me that Japs dont knock speedos! :P I laughed hard when the first yard I went to in Japan they had dashes lined up on the bench, winding kays off them. Ever noticed how many imports have 50,000km or 70,000km on them?

If its already been trained to thrash, then count yourself lucky someone in Japan has broken it in for you, and get on with the job of flogging the thing over here

hahah martin i agree with everythin u have written and also tell people that sorta thing. Mate i know my car aswell as almost everyother jap import has been thrashed to death, then us aussies buy them off them :P

Im sayin give the bloke a break thats all. Hes happy to have his car.

I wish I bought an ex drift car - probably would have saved me a bloody fortune in mods

Triple plate clutch, only one reason for that, and who knows whats inside the engine:) God it would be tempting to pull the engine down just to check. How is the idle? And heat shielding.... ah if only they could talk.

Well I guess I wont spare it any 8000RPM launches now :P

Just need to build up the courage, and definitely off street too! (Anyone know any "private" roads? ;p)

Idle isn't lumpy so no cams(or maybe not that agressive), guess I'll find out whats inside when I need to do something...in the meantime, guess I'll just get used to living with the original Godzilla.

Martin: I'm not disilusioned about the wound back speedo, I;m just happy the interior doesn't have any rips and the indicator stalks aren't white and the dash isn't cracked...but it does show its age in the speakers. The rubber surround dissintegrated when I touched it.

As far as I know if it was built to be driven hard, then I will put it to use! (Glad the jap owner agreed too, who needs "posers"?)

    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
