I am considering my next upgrade to be either a V36 or a Skyline Crossover.

I know there is not a lot of love for the Crossover in the Skyline community, but I think they are freaking awesome and tick a lot of boxes for me - especially since I am well over my boy racer stage (I have owned a 200rwkw S15 and a 230rwkw R34) and the extra boot space suits me (for camping trips etc), high clearance, 4wd (I would buy the FOUR version), insane amount of cameras, self-healing paint, following cruise control/lane adherence alarms, etc etc. A black one with 20" rims, exhaust, ECU edit and on bags would make for a decent 260kw (flywheel) package with a bit of stance and a LOT of luxury ..... I know there will be a lot of haters out there, but each to their own imho.

can you import those crossovers??

i hired one of those (Infiniti Fx45) when i was i was in the USA in 2009 - we drove it from LA to Vegas - 5 blokes with full luggage - and at one stage, on a closed section of road, we had it up to 140mph and it wanted to keep going. Very cool cars!

Well who wouldn't want an R35 GT-R..

But i am on the similar track of Trav, i would love an Audi A4 sedan with big wheels and a bit of stance. They look sexy as hell in black done up.

EDIT: i forgot, maybe even consider a G6E Turbo in silver. Very good looking cars and have all the luxury accessories that i like. I have a mate with one lowered a bit on 20's and it looks tidy as f*ck, done a tune and a few engine mods pushing 350-ish kw

Just get a PM35 and be done with it Andrew! You know you want to!

Yeah mate - and you can bring them in from the UK so they have English buttons/controls too!

Only had the v36 for about 18 months and am still in love with it so the gf will be getting the next chance to upgrade. From an 08 fiesta almost anything is a move up but she likes the 86. After that it will be my turn again and, depending on what comes out over the next 2-3 years, an R35 or a newer M3, will be on the radar. I love that BMW have gone back to a straight six and having driven a Z4 with the .same twin turbo six, I can imagine the evil things that BMW will be able to do to it.

I get very sentimental with my vehicles. The Maxima was around for 17 years and was only upgraded to a V36 because of an unfortunate collision which made it economically unfeasible. Yes, even sentimentality has its price sometimes.

As such, I hope to hang on to my V36 for an eternity too.

Besides, I'm putting a lot of work into upgrading the audio system. I've been doing a lot of metalwork to make the amp stack that will sit in place of where a Bose amp would normally be found in the boot floor's left corner and there's more engineering to do along the way.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
