I've been living in a hole, but just saw the release date for both the coupe and hard-top convertible here will be December, only Big Kev would have been more excited (probably)

No doubt I'd be getting those grotty Infinit badges taken off, but wow haven't we come leaps and bounds with getting a few decent Nissan models at last!!!!!

I saw the hard-top 36's in the US and they were porntastic!

I am also keen, when i eventually move to Brisbane i'll be going for a job there.

Also i would have to agree with you about removing the badges, i don't like the look of them much either :/

Damn my work computer filtering system i can't see the photo you posted.

Makes me think of Hyundai J2 or a Jaguar. I think Skylines lost its touch after the R34 imo

hmm.. maybe, they are meant to be a different class of car to the R34.

I just can't bring myself to like the back of the R34.. the front looks awesome though!!

The back of my old R34 looked sweet with the custom brake lights, now and again I see it in Logan and nearly snap my neck to look, then realise it's my old car that I'm admiring haha

When it comes to the R series, I prefer the look of the R33 as an overall package.. I find the R32 looks too dated now. and the R34 seems like the designers tried too hard (except the front!!) :) The R34 GTR with the big chunky rear spoiler isn't my cup of tea..

possibly the worlds worst wheel Photoshop? Fark- I mean the front brakes are on the rear :wacko:

Photo aside (obviously not a company pic)I can't help but think the management of this launch is not being taken seriously/professionally. I mean, it hasn't even had a whisper of coverage, and I see no infinitis driving round.

You would think they will only manufacture a certain # of them to see how sales go in the first 6 months given how the market is and the steep price tag they come with, then go from there. It should be interesting though.. I too have heard nothing but i live on the other side of the world..

It's all about moving with the times. Courier lines and no boost is where it's at today - apparently. It's what people want in street cars.

The Skyline was intended to have an NA V6 from the R33 onwards.

Nissan should have dropped the Skyline Name then. When you say skyline, you think beast race car, not company fleet cars.

I agree re hyundai look, esp rear end, YUK!!

G37 was nice, G35 also nice, but not this...

This. I could say that they retained an very light essence of the R series skylines (still should have dropped the name) with the tail lights and a bit of the shape but this officially ends the definition of "Skyline". I guess when it's my turn to have kids, they will look back at R series skylines as if they are classics like Datsun, and a Datsun like a flintsonemobile.

Haha that's off the Infiniti Australia website. They are going to have the coupes at the Sydney motor show. They're definitely out there, they started with the 4WDs late August. I saw two of the 5 litre V8's at Brisbane airport today in the carpark..

I disagree.. when you say GT-R, you think beast race car. The skyline name on its own has been quite varied over the years.. After all there was a Australian Built R31 Sedan and wagon that would hardly fit into the 'race car' catergory and more into the 'company fleet cars', and family wagons.

There were far more R series skylines that I wouldn't consider in the class of 'race car', fitted with RB20DE, RB25DE engines.. or the stock turbo versions of each which still produced less power and torque than the VQ35DE in the V35.

      Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.

      Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?

      R34 N/a And R34 Turbo (gtt) Transmission.. Uh, Problem.

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man

      Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?

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

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
