ok so iv bought an old r31 skyline auto in gold/brown colour with a decent body and it's since been customised slightly since this photo

E675DF85-4EFD-4FF1-95CE-D5E88C660C6F-358

its really just a toy so i dont expect it to be super good looking but i had to get rid of that cloud on the bonnet so out came some matte black!

righto iv been working on my xd falcon for weeks now, making it faster with many expensive mods. but now im back ontot the skyline, iv got some chrome trim rings for the steelies which look pretty good from a distance haha and painted the bonnet black, in in the process of changing the grill by taking out the spotlight things and im going to cut up a broken xd grill to fit and it will look fairly old school..

then out of nowhere i got a call....

my dad says to me.. "Jesse iv found something.."

"what?"

"its an r31 skyline, its red, its a series 2 or 3, it's a 5 speed and its abandoned"

i dont remember much after that but i lost my shit and asked him where it was he wouldnt tell me cause id harrass the people who owned the carkpark it was in which we have to contact to get it..

anyway i ended up spend an arvo driving round town and finnaly the last place i went.. there it was. sitting there absolutely covered in dust with expired rego and steelies.. its heaps straighter than my gold/brown one, theres no rust but the paint its rooted (idgaf) and its possibly blown up but i doubt it cause it has been parked there not pushed..

this is it, that's my mate celebrating when we just searched the whole town to find it! and a question is it a series 2 or 3? i cant tell haha its a newbie question probably but idk.. anyway so if i get this car it will be the new project but its still an r31skylinegx so my name doesnt change! anyway ill update again soon :)

    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
