Ok well I got my 18s before New Years so I had 'em for da 'nats cruise! Huge deep dish shadow chrome jobs, which so look the part. Now I am saving to get a 3" exahust turbo back, a pod air filter, a big front mount intercooler and a boost controler. Then we'll go up to 10 to 12 psi (damn ceramic turbo). Then no doubt I'll fry that turbo and get a big mother.... ohh I wish! :P

I also ordered the plates YGT25T yesterday. I was surprised no one already had 'em! $412 on plastic plates 'cause they are an out of series Y plate. $1300 or something like that without the Y 'cause GT isn't my initials!:D

Hope to meet up with more skyline fanatics.

G'day Oz,

Welcome to da family :D

How's things?

I think I've seen your car parked up at Erindale a few times. The last time I saw it it didn't have any number plates !!

Nice car.

Thx Jay for the welcome.

Till today it had QLD No. plates on it. Just got the ACT ones.

I was at the ACT shop front at Tugg. and took the plates off to swap them over.

May need to use your services soon, I did a self patch up job on the handbreak leather bit. Don't look too professional.

I've seen a pic you posted of your car (Silver with FMIC), but have not spotted it on the road yet.

One day :D

Oz.

Cool,

LOL - I remember the first time I saw your car when I was going into the car park - I almost had a head on with someone cause I was thinking to myself "nice skyline"... LOL

No worries about the handbrake doova's. Drop me a PM if you need a hand.

Yeah I used to have a Swift GTi with NSW Raven plates. I had it for about 4 years (1993-97) and it had an awesome system in it.

Competed in a few sound offs and it did pretty well.

I am curious? do you remember that car? Did you see it somewhere?You sure have a good memory.

I still have the plates and they are now on my MY00 Black Rex. They were originally on a black 350 Chev powered SLR5000 which I entered in the 1991 Summernats.

cheers

      Wheel refurb?

      The powder coating came in at $250 EACH. The TRX rims got a coat of clearcoat on the outside only.

      Pops when backing off throttle, rough-ish sound through rev range.

      Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.

      It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....

      Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
