Well title says it all but the reason for me wanting an AWD system in my car is my drive way is 1k of dirt. As you would guess my car likes to slide around a bit when it is wet even with traction control/snow on. The dream is to slap a RB26 in my Skyline one day but as my car handels great stock I was also wondering how much better the AWD system would be.

I am in no rush to do anything to my car but I just had to ask your thoughts.

Yea I thought of that but idk I am attached to my car. Selling is an option for sure but when I think of it I cry inside a little lol. I have Been thinking of getting a gt4 but if I am going to buy I may as well just get a GTR. I'm leaning to the R33 GTR but a R32 could be nice.

As much as I hate to say it, EVO or WRX make 10x the sense of an AWD Skyline for what you're wanting.

haha fair enough i dont need a full on 4X4 to get out of the drive way... well i do but the wife has a Hilux so no big deal. my car handels the mud just fine(as long as we get below 10mm of rain) i was just thinking if 2 more spining wheels would be a bit better thats all. like i said the dream is full GTR guts in my car but it may jus stay a dream but its still nice to have one.

yea ZoomZoom i live on a 226acr farm and the driveway has one hill that cant be a bit hairy at times on the way up but not to bad. if its too wet for my car to get out then the wife will just have to take me where i need to go... she has ben at me to sell the car for about a year now cuz of the drive way.

I would but i wouldent want to sell it really this is my dream car maybe not the sedan but still i am happy with it so happy i dont really think i need a turbo in it.

WRX wouldent be a bad idea :domokun: but i will stick with Skyline

      Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
