Yeah,

I saw it - Too highly modified for my liking - Plus is was a 94 -- I'm after a 96. I get nervous when looking at a real highly modified car - Compliance, RTA, etc - Might cost an arm and a leg to get through these processes.

Plus, (sorry to all those who like white, BUT white is last on my list !! ) I know 60% of skylines are white, but I heaps prefer Silver or Black, even Gunmetal!

It's up to personal preference really - I would never knock a white skyline - cause after all, it is a skyline !!!!

If someone realiable and trustworthy were to tell me that that white '94 would (guaranteed) get thu Compliance, RTA etc without spending extra $$$, I might have gon for it (if it were Silver) -

Anyway, it was a farkin nice car !!

Cheers,

BF

You'd probrably be better off getting a nice stock one with lowish kays... coz if it's modified - most of the time it's been thrashed hard.... which is why most modified cars coming over here from japan are cheaper than u'd expect.

Brendan, it would cost you no more than having a 96' spec 2 complied. Most of the modifications to meet ADR's are standard for specific makes, and therefor the cost is the same.

Although it did have quite a few aftermarket items, this can be taken care of in a few hours before you go for your blue slip and third tier inspection ..... it's only the visable items they'll pick up on, hey I managed to hide my turbo timer and boost controller which live in my ash tray, just by putting the front cover of the ash tray back on with some blue tac !

Things like gauges you can take off, BOV's you can tighten, POD's (mine didn't get picked up ?), hide any wiring for aftermarket items behind the dash, borrow a set of swap rims off a nice person in the forums and your set to go .....

Jim, Ryan,

I see both your points - each has it's pro's and con's - Having thought about it some more, I don't want/need to have heaps of mods - I don't plan breaking the world speed record - I just want a nice clean skyline that looks good, goed good and sounds good. So I think something in the middle of a stocker and a majorly modified car.

If I can pick up something that has a few mods - like wheels, suspension , zorst, pod, BOV - Then I don't have to pay for that stuff when I get it over - Cause I know I will end up modding it anyway !!

    • I have no hard data to report, but I have to say, having driven it to work and back all week, mostly on wet roads (and therefore mostly not able to contemplate anything too outrageous anywhere)..... it is real good. I turned the boost controller on, with duty cycle set to 10% (which may not be enough to actually increase the boost), and the start boost set to 15 psi. That should keep the gate unpressurised until at least 15 psi. And rolling at 80 in 5th, which is <2k rpm, going to WOT sees the MAP go +ve even before it crosses 2k and it has >5 psi by the time it hits 90 km/h. That's still <<2.5k rpm, so I think it's actually doing really well. Because of all the not-quite-ideal things that have been in place since the turbo first went on, it felt laggy. It's actually not. The response appears to be as good as you could hope for with a highflow.
    • Or just put in a 1JZ, and sell me the NEO head 😎
    • Oh, it's been done. You just run a wire out there and back. But they have been known to do coolant temp sensors, MAP sensors, etc. They're not silly (at Regency Park) and know what's what with all the different cars.
    • Please ignore I found the right way of installing it thanks
    • There are advantages, and disadvantages to remapping the factory.   The factory runs billions of different maps, to account for sooooo many variables, especially when you bring in things like constantly variable cams etc. By remapping all those maps appropriately, you can get the car to drive so damn nicely, and very much so like it does from the factory. This means it can utilise a LOT of weird things in the maps, to alter how it drives in situations like cruise on a freeway, and how that will get your fuel economy right down.   I haven't seen an aftermarket ECU that truly has THAT MANY adjustable parameters. EG, the VAG ECUs are somewhere around 2,000 different tables for it to work out what to do at any one point in time. So for a vehicle being daily driven etc, I see this as a great advantage, but it does mean spending a bit more time, and with a tuner who really knows that ECU.   On the flip side, an aftermarket ECU, in something like a weekender, or a proper race car, torque based tuning IMO doesn't make that much sense. In those scenarios you're not out there hunting down stuff like "the best way to minimise fuel usage at minor power so that we can go from 8L/100km to 7.3L/100km. You're more worried about it being ready to make as much freaking power as possible when you step back on the loud pedal as you come out of turn 2, not waiting the extra 100ms for all the cams to adjust etc. So in this scenario, realistically you tune the motor to make power, based on the load. People will then play with things like throttle response, and drive by wire mapping to get it more "driveable".   Funnily enough, I was watching something Finnegans Garage, and he has a huge blown Hemi in a 9 second 1955 Chev that is road registered. To make it more driveable on the road recently, they started testing blocking up the intake with kids footballs, to effectively reduce air flow when they're on the road, and make the throttle less touchy and more driveable. Plus some other weird shit the yankee aftermarket ECUs do. Made me think of Kinks R34...
