parts mainly, specfically suspension parts that tend to flog out on our shitty roads, and stuff that breaks on 20 year old cars that needs to be procured from specialist wreckers.

Also finding a mechanic who wants to work on imports ($$$ or incompetence, your pick)

Trust me, I've owned both. Not comparing fuel usage as my R32 had a Microtech and bigger turbo, 'nuff said.

I doubt I'd get better fuel economy from an N/A skyline than my LS though (10l/100 or so mostly highway)

farrr less can go wrong in an n/a compared to a turbo. But yes if something does it isn't overly cheap. I did once make it from renmark (SA) to canberra on 1 tank however...

Just leaving this here :)

Not siding with anybody nor saying which is faster or better but read a few pages of LOLs

I have never even owned a skyline :P

Haha u think I wouldn't say this to your face.... You make me laugh (refer to fitness threads for pics and then please be quite)

I would say anything to your face! But I promise to say nice things if you don't leave me behind on mountain passes again...

and you can say whatever you want to me We TSO bros haha :wub:

^ LOL.

Because "everyone" has to win a street race or drift event on public roads...

Just like Paul Walker or Vin Diesel ;)

Most of the testosterone getting flung round is by you. You are the one getting super defensive and insisting we all know nothing unless we prove it. Hell you even made a thinly veiled threat of violence.

I don't need to prove myself to someone with a superiority complex, so you feel free to continue on thinking i am just talking out my arse. And yes i would glady say any of this to your face.

lol clearly just wanted your 2cents as i havent said sh*t in this thread cept for above....

just making your self look like a git

marc, i think you replied to the wrong person. Fryters, not Frosty

Oh look! Some more evidence that na's take skill to drift over high powered cars. This time from 2 d1 world champs

But I mut be talking out my ass and an 'na fanboy' whatever that is?

Im telling you guys, my dick is bigger!

This thread has lost all that could have been salvaged!

Why are natro kids always so defensive? Just like vtec plebs

Read the first few pages, you'll see that most of us were talking based on personal experience, no one was getting defensive. Fryters stated: n/a cars arent that bad, they are fun to drift. I stated, it was pretty quick in its time, up against other cars in the 1990s it did win a bit of races, todays standards are much higher etc etc.. It was from there all the others started challenging our word and having a go at us, saying things like "N/as have no respect", "who buys a n/a skyline", "rb25 n/a is terrible, if rb30s are slow rb25 must be", "why buy a n/a when you can buy a stroked rotary" etc. They laughed at whatever opinion we gave that was in favor of the n/a skyline. It felt like their goal was just to ridicule us cause they drive twin turbo gtrs, xr6ts etc... while we cruise in a n/a. Some people made valid points, others such as fryters was provoked.

You know what's up, thanks man

Lol, I didnt say anything about n/a's on this thread.

Jeez you natro boys need to relax. Maybe you get so frustrated because those sv6's stomp you that you have to jump on the internet and defend your slow punk ass

The only slow thing is you, I have said like 10times now I don't care about power or speed, I wouldn't like na's if I did...

So you're not caring about power or speed right?

Because if you did, you wouldn't buy an N/A right?

Which is you saying, I bought an N/A knowing it had no power or capability for speed.

In essence, I bought an N/A knowing it was slow.

In other words, you just admitted that N/As are slow, yet you're arguing against this in a thread asking "Are N/As slow?"

Please note: Everyone has admitted you can drift them, you can drift many other extremely under powered cars too, yet you're still arguing for some unknown reason.

Am I arguing?

And the thread is are n/a's slow or is everyone talking out their ass. N/a's are slow, but all of you, talk out your asses about what their capabilities are, when you have never really driven one to their limits.

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
