To everyone on SAU, I'll start off by immediately saying that I do not own a Skyline of any description. BUT- I've heard many good things about them and much high praise for all generations. I am a car enthusiast, I love all things RB and all things JDM. I'm looking to buy a facelift R32 GT-R soon (NOT R33 or R34!), so I thought I'd speak to the people who know the car the best and know all of its quirks and common problems, so I know to make the decision to buy or not, completely dependent on what I hear over my time on the forum.

Cheers!

Welcome. For sure you've come to the right place on the internet. There's a wealth of knowledge on this site. Give the search button a go for some generic info, otherwise ask away! [emoji16][emoji16][emoji16]

Cheers Steve! I've already looked into gearing issues (failure of synchro's on 1st and 2nd as a result of hard launches) and the reliability of the ATTESA system. Have you had any major issues with your RB26 or your R33? I've looked at reliability and it only seems as though there are issues with oil starvation (hence the availability of head drain kits from numerous shops) at high RPM/ high boost. I'm not sure yet what kind of power output I should pursue, but if the RB in my example is completely knackered, a brand new long block from the Land of the Rising Sun may very well be in order with some new accessories, as my example will definitely be well over 2 decades old.  Does a reliable 600hp on stock internals sound attainable?

Hi,

I'm planning on getting an Stagea in the near future, so I decided to start off with the online users forums, so here I am. 

The one I'm eager to get is a RS Four V with good option. Hopefully I can get it registered without too much hassle. I live in Poland, so the car is extremely rare, hopefully for the best.

It'll be my first Skyline-chassis (sorry if that's tabu around here), but not my first Nissan (my sixth in a line of 7 cars since I got my license), hopefully it'll leave a good impression, since one day I want to be an owner of a R32 GT-R.

I'm into style drifting drifing and I've got a 200SX S13 with an SR20DET swap (first car acutally ?). The stagea will hopefully be a great acomplice for drift events, for towing and carrying all the troublesome Nissan's extra parts and wheels ❤️

It depends if the pod filter was a good one!! Always good to have a bit of humour. CAI, plumbed into stock airbox or just an open intake in the engine bay? Because heat soak would really put a dampener on the performance once the car got hot. But I'm sure you know that!!

Don't feel too bad, my first post was about a pod filter, I think I was 15. How times change.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
