Hey guys I'll tell you a story. I brougt a skyline and had to money to put it in my name so I just drove around ad thought will wait till the rego runs out then I will do it. But in that time I was a dick and thought it would be a good idea to lose the papers so now I have to stat dec it just to get the car in my name and get some rego ad start driving it! But I need to do some things before I put rego on it I am going to rebuild the head!

I was hoping to get a head that I could rebuild and then when that's done I could just do the head gasket and swap heads as I want it to be on the road ASAP so if someone had a spare cylinder head they want to give me or one for cheap please let me know thanks! Pm me on here or send me a message on 0410717935

Sorry for spelling or stuff ups

Welcome to skyline ownership.

Really... purchasing a car knowing you didn't have enougth money for 3% stamp duty, driving it without any insurance and now it needs a rebuild? Hope you saved up for the fine for the transfer over 14 days as well.

So was being a dick losing the papers or the whole process.

Lessons for the young there. Wish you better luck in the future.

So you have an extra $100 you didn't need to donate to the government, but not say $150-300 for the required transfer process.... Not knocking you for the losing of paperwork.

Anyway look in your WTB request someone has a head for you.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
