I did it wrong too, bought a rust free one for cheap, spent a few bucks, then sold it and turned a tidy profit before the market wised up.

What the hell was i thinking?!

Still wouldn't mind having a 35 down the track, glutton for punishment apparently.

Ah yes, typical BDSM Sub behaviour. I like it.

I've also found it impossible to repair a damaged rb26 and not do stupid things to it. Why couldn't I just bolt it back together with some used and new oem parts?  Clearly a question that is unable to be answered. 

Also why are men now wearing over the shoulder hand bags? What happened to the good old days and a sturdy pair of cargo pants for personal item storage.

I didn't realise how bad the rust on my car was until you pointed it out years ago.
It's only gotten worse haha.

You're unlucky then. My rust is only getting better.

The obvious rust in the boot/towers. Rad support repairs the list goes on.

I did an 8hr round trip drive to go see one only to find all new seam sealer on the inner guards and obvious signs of cover up to repairs, entire rear subframe covered in decent surface rust. Pass. 

On the other hand, the one I bought had a tiny bit of surface rust in the spare wheel well (common) and everything else was original. So I bought it and as I expected after pulling the whole front end off, it was very original and in good nick. 

Good ones do exist, but plenty have been crashed/poor rust repairs/no repairs etc.

Rust happens, big deal, just fix it properly and be honest about it.

I was pleased to search the vin of mine and find it was a 'Cold Weather' optioned GTR (Heated Mirrors). I mean only the non snow areas of Japan would use that option right....right?....

I looked at a couple of R33 GTR's that had front struts ready to pop out of the towers at any time. And I knew of one R32 GTRR that got lighter and lighter as the subframe slowly died and dropped off in delicate little pieces, that and if you pushed the clutch too hard for some double step dose launch hero boost action you'd probably push through the floor.

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
