Hey guys,

New to the forum! New to skylines as I've been a Holden fan since I could afford one. But I recently moved to QLD (approx a month ago) and want to get into skylines as I've driven one recently and love them! I have no idea what I'm looking for (Absolute n00b), what price is reasonable etc. Any input on this:

Would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers guys!

Not as common as 33 coupes, so a little different, 4door practicality, RB25DET growl and go.

Win, win, WIN !!! It's a series 1 and you can put series 2 taillights on if you wanted.

17 year old car might be good or might be a money pit, is there a work shop in your area that knows Skylines ?

Does the car have service history, where was it serviced.

Can you take it somewhere to get it checked out, put it on a hoist, do a compression test.

It will cost you a bit but its good peice of mind, the owner should only complain if there is problems with the car as it will cost him nothing but a little time.

I might still go bang though, or it might not !

Sorry, but thats how it is.

Your rear end looks good :P haha!

But mlr you're more than right on that, didn't even think about those things, you would think that if it has a RWC you're good to go, but that's not the case, maybe there's a reason why it's so cheap, yet to call the seller. I don't know how to go about it, buy a stock skyline up to 8k, or spend 15k for something modded and well looked after. For me it's a toss up lol.

Again, thanks for the insight :)

      That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.

      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.
