Hey,

What is a good skyline to get on you'r Red P's. I want a R34 1998. I'm not sure what Skyline. It is illegal for p platers to have turbo charged cars so that is out of the option. :(

I origonally wanted a GT-T but that's turbo, I just want to know is the GT exactly the same but without the turbo or is there other differences. Also, what do you recommend that is R34 1998. What other version Skylines do you suggest (I want a R34 1998 regardless).

Note: My uncle has this thing in his 4x4 Range Rover, it detects police cars around like a 5 KM radius or something and when theres police around a red light flashes. Does anyone know what these are called and where to get them.

Thanks.

your uncle gets stopped then his goooooooonee, dont carry illegal stuff in your car drugs, police radars and weapons its so obvious. Another thing buy whatever you can afford, if your after speed 0-100= 8seconds on a good day and 1/4 mile i have seen 15-15.5 seconds out of a NA R33 with zorst and other p-plate mods done to it. So not a street machine, if your just after a nice cruiser get a R34 preferably fresh import and drive that for 3 years and upgrade to something else it what im doing and going to have done next year. So happy i didnt follow these peoples advice to buy some thrashed out sh!t box lol.

Wow, you can read the brochure

as already said, school holidays are over kid.

come back when you know the laws that dictate the car you drive and know why it's completely unnecessary to ask about police radars.

The quad turbo 4 speed auto Gtr is heaps better, all the twin turbo 6 speed manual ones are shite.

'Are you seriously that's awesome, I want one of them really bad!.'

Really...

I may be young, but I'm not stupid.

/Facepalm.

That's not really nice.

R31 = Eww. :)

I was planning on getting a R34 GT, or R34 25GT. Then when I got my full license, get a Twin Turbo GTR 6 Speed Manual.

lol you never forgot your first no matter how tragic it is, drove my mums tango ford focus for over 1 year on my red p-plates wasnt mine but it sure feels like my first car. Your suffering some kind of stockholm syndrom. 4C25F8BF-C836-4F00-B256-A63B41C716DE_extra.jpg

If GTR is your goal thats fine, i have no goal i dont even know what i want i just know to have money when the time comes i didnt plan a R34 25GT just happened walking through a caryard. so just focus on the money bit for now.

    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option
