I'd rather having insurance and searching forever for 'perfect' car than not having insurance at all...

That way I'm able to sleep at night knowing I'm covered.

That's just me, you can put security system to shame Fort Knox and someone will find a way to steal it, unfortunately it's the way it is nowdays.

u wot m8? I never said you shouldn't have insurance, i just said that your comment of insure it and who gives a f**k if it gets stolen is wrong and you should still be paranoid about your car getting stolen, because it will take you forever to find a car like the one you had (unless you had a piece of shit before hand)

As for finding 'perfect' car differs to everybody.

One might want to go OCD, other would go with reasonable condition.

Each to their own, I'm just saying anyone's car can get stolen anywhere, in any way (carjacking, flat bed, good 'ol break and Hotwire etc).

Like I said, if people want to steal your car, they will. But that's for another topic.

*sighs*

It's up to you whether you want to be paranoid or not about your car.

That is what insurance is for amongst other things such as being covered should idiots out on the road hits you etc... Which I'm sure you know this.

It's a attitude I chose with my car. If it happen to me, well, shit happens.

Your whole attitude towards it is wrong. Might aswell never lock my car and leave my keys in the ignition because i have insurance right? Who gives a f**k if it gets stolen.

Of course i know of this, my last gtr got stolen, my new one i bought had someone try break into it 2nd day i had it and i got rear ended 3rd time driving it. I have been without my gtr for about 3 and a bit weeks now because some top bloke fell asleep at the wheel. Don't worry about the inconvenience on missing out on drives with my mates and other shit though because i have insurance................. -_-

With the shit that has happened to me with my cars and the area i live in i will ALWAYS be paranoid as f**k, as everyone should be.

wait till the vilella brothers get to his joint. his views on getting his car stolen will change. Theres a guy in my street that chains his gtr at night by chains i mean he loops it on both the rear tyres. the only way to get through it is to grind it cause conventional bolt cutters wont work.

Simple solution move or stop buying nice cars !

Also leaving you car unlocked and leaving keys in the ignition voids your insurance

insurance doesnt have to know your car was unlocked and keys were in the ignition.

Hahaha i know right? You need to do that these days to keep the car from those speds. My cars stay in the garage these days and the dog sleeps in there too now, just in case they get in and he gets a bit hungry lol

Need to set one up with a GPS tracker and leave it on the street in a semi industrial area of the north west. Would just be a matter of time before it's taken, then call the rozzers and track it, would probably end up at the same place as half the other stolen skylines.

The same rozzers that caught the guy that stole my car who is still out and about stealing cars? -_-

Haha ain't that the way. But do 4km/h over the speed limit and they'll fight tooth and nail to make you pay the fine :)

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
