Good luck.

After I had my engine built (8000km's after) I had a "o" ring fail on the oil cooler and it start to leak oil everywhere. Guys had me in the shop the day after i found out and fixed the same day.

They seemed to care about their build work and the engine. Was reassuring to say the least.

They are a very busy shop. GTR's everywhere.

Half your luck ?

That hurts Mark :)

They do some really good builds and the blokes there know what they are doing.

Maybe my type of build is not what they specialize in as they seem to get into the drag/speed cars.

Anyway, hopefully after I drop it off on Monday I will get it back firing on all 6 in a week :)

It really does not like starting in the cold weather :(

Sounds like they didn't go into the cold start setup on the ECU and compensation settings. Hopefully it all goes well when it returns.

Their other tunes were fine.

I think this is getting worse because it is running rich, the plugs would be like they are covered in black velvet and I do not feel like having a new set of plugs put in, just did that, already put 3 sets in, well I didn't , my mechanic did :) +$

Looks like some good work on the 3.2 stroker here from CRD

sounds awesome...

Not a street gtr at all, as suggested. Actually not even a gtr with an auto in it. What a load of crap . It's a drag car.

The 26 stroker sounded much better then the vl block.

So if an Auto is not counted , what about the sequential box ?

Even my heap cannot be called a real Skyline, different motor,turbo,ECU,radiator,clutch, Tranny, front and back diffs and a lot more ????

So if it is not counted with an Auto box, when is a skyline, not a skyline ?

There are two GTRs in NZ that have done 7 second runs but they were drag specials. Rips has built a few "street" (as in road registered ) R34 GTRs for dragging with powerglide boxes doing 8s but the fastest proper street GTRs that I know are doing 9s. There are a load of Street GTRs doing 10s.

Exactly the same as a tubbed 120y with a Sb chev , 2 speed power glide and 9 inch doing 9s. No difference

So as long as the outside resembles your model Skyline, it is ?

Whatever, I like it :)

So do I,

but it's a drag car not a street car.

Before I bought my car it was being work by them, but not for a street car, laggy as fark. It was an impulse buy and turned into a financial nightmare because I am a stubborn SOB, haha

But I really got to like the car and here I am, still going at it :wub:

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
