uploading a video now.taking awhile. i took pic of it sitting at idle. it idled quite well, but when i put my foot on the accelerator slightly the revs would drop a bit and it didnt sound like it was enjoying it to much and hesitated but once revs got up over 2000rpm it wasnt too bad. i wouldnt call the engine running either..just started lol its something and better then it not starting i suppose post-14097-0-49749300-1446103275_thumb.jpg

Going by the second video I'd say you've got a popped head gasket. Does it blow white smoke when you rev it? Looked like it was blowing white from that video. White=coolant entering combustion chamber.

Sounds dead average in the first video especially when it first fires. What is going on when you cranked it over, that noise was horrible.

when i was cranking it i had to pump on the accelerator to get it started. not sure why, would that be lack of fuel pressure ? or clogged fuel filter ? im changing that and oil etc. tomorrow .

probably still some old fuel in the tank too. it did blow a bit of white smoke but i could only see when my fiance video'd it. i did notice smoke when i looked behind me and revved it . cant rev it anymore due to stock ecu so cant do much till i get check the vipec ecu.

really struggled to start that time.first time i started it wasnt as bad

lmao i was thinking that too.really does sound like a lawn mower.it didnt sound like that in person though. it didnt sound all that bad in person once it was idling

if you watch the first video, at the end when i hit fuel cut at around 2500rpm you'll see smoke. i cant tell what colour it is personally.looks white to me

all coils are working with the stock ecu. i didnt try start it with the vipec since i knew it was only sparking on 1 or 2 cylinders. i changed all the spark plugs after i did the compression tests too.

derrr. I forgot you were running it with the stocker. Ignore me.

that's going to be a real bugger to rego if/when you get it running................if that's the way your going

I saw the front bumper/cooler area and thought much the same. No f**king way is it getting registered anywhere near like that.

i was going to put the stock twin turbo setup on it to pass rego lol but yeah i know it would be tough to get rego'd. i doubt its been engineered .how can i check ?

guy who had it before me had it on the road though.

i was going to change the turbo eventually anyway.dont want one that big. would prefer a low mount single turbo if it will fit

a lot of work and cost ahead for you

If it was engineered you would have received the certificate with purchase and it may have a mod plate

a lot of single turbo skylines on the road are not certified. They wait till they get booked

can you pm me the link on sau that you bought it from please

that's the exact answer i was hoping to hear lmao can't really test anything now untill battery arrives. was going to install my fpr but the screws threaded on the stock fpr . piece of shit screw driver !! know idea how im going to get that off. the fpr i got looks shit anyways i think i'll try for a refund :/

Get a refund. If there is anything wrong with yours I can send you an OEM fpr for free.

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
