Mate... Seriously. If you're going to edit your posts, at least grow some balls, be a man and stand up for the comments you made. If you didn't mean them, then say so.

Jesus. I thought I was talking to a mature adult. I guess not.

Gee.. Think it might have taken me a minute to type my reply???

Jesus mate, seriously... I can't believe you're trying to deny editing your post to remove this part:

Ive said it before - come to perth and come for a ride. Until then, shut up.

Your gutless cowardice astounds me.... Seriously. I would never have expected these kinds of pathetic shenanigans from you. You said it, grow some balls and say so.... don't deny it like a 4 year old.

Oh well. The beauty of the internet sad2.gif

funny thing is a few of you jumped in bagged ND4SPD before asking simple things like

where does boost come on

how high does it rev

its ok to make boost at 4k when you rev past 10 000..... 6000 rpm rev band is not - before someone says oh thats no good for the track - thats what gearboxes are for - shift down a gear.

his time was done on shitty worn dunlop tyres and with a completely full interior including stereo. done on pump fuel - hard to see how you can knock that.

www.antilag.com/features/gtr if your interested in a little more info

Time to post your ages as i think we are wasting time with young kids.

Try find a wild GTR that does more road time than ND4SPD before ppl bag it or ask John munro what its like as he has been in it.

Theres so many factors ppl dont take into account when talking drag times as my wifes GTR is only 270rwkw as the stock turbos wont go higher but it ran 12.0 @ 119.35MPH, the car was tuned on the same dyno as Jezzrr but ran near the same time,Why? 8300RPM side step of the line,Jezzrr has more respect for his GTRs than me.

I'm sorry, I appologise up front to anyone who thinks this post is about them personally, it's not. OK! :P

I simply don't understand why anyone would build a Skyline that can't be driven to its potential because "things might break". It makes no sense, why bother? :confused: Better to have less power that you can actually use, than more power that you can't. Better to build the WHOLE car to go fast, not just the engine. :( A 600 bhp engine is wasted in a 400 bhp chassis, with 200 bhp tyres and 150 bhp suspension. I am not going to go near the subject of a 100 bhp driver. :headspin:

Maybe it's just me, but a car is a PACKAGE and only as good as its weakest link. It doesn't matter how strong its strongest link is, the weak link will always be its downfall. :spew: It won't do the time if the tyres are crap, it won't do the time if the driver is not up to it, it won't make the speed if the gearbox or clutch dies, if the engine power band does not match the gearbox ratios, slow it is going to be, slower than it should be. :birdie:

End of rant :crazy:

Nah, it's just a tension relief thing. I am a bit stressed, we have 6 engines in pieces, 2 gearboxes it bits and 1 rear axle (inc diff) half finished. They are all waiting on SOMEONE to supply the stuff they promised weeks ago, stuff that has already been paid for in most cases. :headshot:

Time for a drink, I think :alcoholic

PS; How's the new engine coming along?

Any luck on working out how to make the standard box handle 400+rwkw? You think it would be worth getting the gears shotpleened and cryo'd so 3rd didn't strip as easy?

Engine is getting there now, pretty well only just got all the parts together for it

I haven't busted a GTST box yet (he said crossing fingers). So until I do, I am not stressing over it. When one of them lets go, I will buy a Pfitzner straight cut, dog engagement, close ratio, 5 speed gear set and stick that in. I haven't had any success in the past with "hardening up" gear sets, I reckon if they are too small, then they are TOO SMALL. Those RB25DET gearboxes are so heavy and a bugger to get out of an R32 with a RB31DET hanging onto the front of them, I only want to do it once. :wassup:

Gotta go, :( calling the US to chase up some missing pistons........... :flamed:

    • Good tips, will get on those tomorrow. When doing the maintenance I did move a few of those connectors around, and things that are old tend to not like moving around. (Like me).
    • Don't try it. It will be shit. Better chance of damaging the engine than gaining any knowledge about the old one. Maybe, but unlikely, especially if the O2 sensor is working. You can use NissDataScan to look at the stock ECU.   Cleaning the AFM is seldom necessary and seldom helps. The R35 coil & loom conversion should eliminate dud coils or plugs. But as you still have misses - look to the plug where the coil loom connects to the engine loom, and the CAS plug. Need quality connections there. Also look to injector plugs. And the AFM plug while you're at it. Also look to whether your injectors are clean and flowing evenly. Get them out and onto a testbench.
    • Good to know, I feel like I am in for a rollercoaster ride that looks like a sine wave. 
    • You'll fit right in. Acceptance is the first step.
    • Hey folks. I've been lurking and browsing the forum for a while, since I got into my head that I wanted a skyline. Having purchased an overpriced completely stock GTT, (only "mods" it has is HKS pod filter and catback) now that it became legal in the US, it was all glorious and sututu noises here and there. But then I wanted to do things right and went to do basic maintenance. After all the fluids, filters done, I did the spark plugs, that's when the problems started.. First the car started spluttering at around 4.5k RPM. Which I gapped down the new plugs and that solved the sputter there, but the car now always misfires at idle with pops when lifting off and shifting 2nd to 3rd. Similar to the issues in this recent thread. I've been banging my head against the wall, reading the threads here and trying suggestions for a couple months now, so decided to start this one to explain exactly what I tried and what is going on. The symptoms of the issue: Idle and low revs misfiring intermittently. You can hear the exhaust tone change and the shakes on the shifter knob. It happens frequently, but doesn't seem to have a rhythm to it. Pops when backing off throttle. It pops and or burbles almost feels like it spits fire when it pops. (Happens mostly in 3rd gear at around 2k RPM). When under load and after 6k RPM, it also pops when shifting from 2nd to 3rd. There's a ticking noise at around 2k RPM in 2nd gear going downhill, seems unrelated though but I am out of educated and downright dumb guesses. Not noticeable lack of power when putting the car into load. The attempted diagnosis and solutions: Unplugging coils when the car is running This did nothing to change the idling and tone shift for every cylinder. Checking the exhaust headers with thermometer They all are within what I'd say it is margin of error of the laser thermometer New spark plugs Tossed two new sets, copper, iridium and using the old ones, still misfiring, even re gapped to 0.8mm, still same thing. MAF cleaned with the "specific" spray cleaner No changes in the issues what so ever. Brand new loom and r35 coil conversion (was going to add the r35 coils anyway) car runs arguably better, still misfires, but seems like does less frequently. Placebo? Code 21 now being thrown, thanks nissan gods. Removed the CAS to check the shaft for play or anything. CAS seems all fine, nothing that indicates any issue, visually speaking. Things to attempted next: Ordered a new MAF (chinesium from Amazon, to be able to return regardless of result). Fuel with proper gas, maybe it is this California water that they sell as gas that is to blame? Plugin the link ECU and check the info using the built in base map. Go back to BMW and eat my rob bearing breakfast without milky oil mixture.   Do any of you have experienced anything like this or have any suggestion?
