Think Ive posted once. I love my R32 so much it hurts. I got me a gtst type m . Best car Ive ever owned. One day I might get a GTR......

Really would love one of those S AU Stickers too and really don't know many other Skyline owners - would love to shoot the breeze and have my 1000's of questions answered as Im not that mechanical - and people seem to add $250 to every invoice I receive if I say the magic word " Skyline "....

Anyway guys, take it easy , hope to chat soon.

hey thanks for all the love Guys..... If it was legal I would probably marry my R32 ;) [enter consummation jokes here ]

I am going to grab some pics of her tomorrow, today I have her jacked up and Im planning to replace all tie rod ends, some bushes , etc etc. Whatever is worn is going to be replaced........Eventually.

Inside Ive had her steam cleaned so all the original upholstery is looking and smelling like new....installed a aftermarket double din ( pain in the ass without the brackets ) , removed the cloth material from the door and reconditioned the door cards by gently cleaning the glue off the door and unscrewing the " card part " , folding it back and spraying it a nice black, and reassembling.. I'm fairly proud of my efforts so far as quite frankly Im like a big monkey with a wrench bashing on a tv set.

She's black and someone has painted the wheels black as well - i dont mind that look at all really - kinda looks tough - but Im gonna have to repaint those rims and whoever did back before I bought it it didn't use the right paint and its flaking off.....( I know sacrilege right ?)

But yeah - so glad I found this forum.

Its like an Island made of rock in a sea of diarrhea

    • 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.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
