Hello all I'm from south Florida. I just purchased a black 93 skyline gtst. It is currently being delivered from Washington state. I bought it from Rhdspecialties. This is my first turbo car purchase and can't wait to read up on it as much as possible to maintain her. 49000 kilometers, she is still a virgin. Here are some pics being loaded onto a flat bead. I don't have plans to track or drift her because I don't know much about that stuff. Only upgrades from time to time based on the info that is being shared on this forum. I can't wait to get my hands on her!

Looks really nice ,wheels look great.

It'll be a hoot to drive!

:welcome:

Thank you. My question is do you guys think I should take her to a Nissan mechanic or a tuner mechanic to look her over? or will just any mechanic do? I thought a Nissan mechanic because they "should" know more about the car than any other? Or would a shop that specializes in tuner cars do a better job? Thanks for yall opinion.

She's old enough now that most mechanics could look it over. I'd take it to a more experienced tuner if you are getting any mods done as they'd have a better idea of doing a proper job and getting the most out of it.

nice looking car but id take those kms with a pinch of salt so to speak. My skyline had 50,000 kms taken off between japan and australia.

Welcome aboard !

Yep got to tentatively agree with CeJay !

I got mine in from Japan and it had 49,000 kms on the clock ! 

In saying that its now got 427,000 kms on it now ( its my daily driving car ) still on the same motor.

Just goes to show, if maintained regularly, how well they are engineered.

You'll love it

    • Yeah, sort of blurring two different things together, aren't we? I just meant O2 feedback closed loop. I used to have a 0-1V LCD meter on my dash, wired directly to the O2 sensor signal. So you could easily see what it was doing. Normal running it would flick back and forth nicely. Slow down to an idle and it would keep flicking, as the ECU tried to servo to maintain stoich, but it would slow down as each swing happened until it would stay at one end of the scale. As I said above, the sensor heater is not enough to keep it hot enough when there is also little heat in the exhaust flow. Give it a blip and it would start swinging again, then peter out again. Meanwhile, idle speed control would run just fine, because unrelated.
    • It's not even O2 feedback, it's just simply when the ECU sees the closed TPS signal for whatever reason the idle will start steadily dropping until the engine dies. With the TPS adjusted to not trigger closed TPS it will idle at some ridiculously high RPM and something like 6 degrees of timing. In the absence of getting eyes on it personally and a lot of quality time doing diagnostics I couldn't tell you what the real problem was but it was interesting nonetheless
    • Oof. One of my mates has an R34 GT-R that he initially was a "I want to go twins for response and convenience" on his stock 2.6 with Kelford 272 cams, but his friends are pests and were always in his ear about their place being in the bin.   Eventually one of the 2860-5s decided to add it's own input and force his hand, so he conceded and went for a Pulsar 6262G ("G35 900") with T4 0.85 hotside.    Here's an overlay of the results, same cams, same stock bottom end, same boost, same fuel, just from a pretty tidy 2860-5 install to a Pulsar turbo on a 6boost maniifold on BP98.   Worth mentioning here, it may seem like a dead horse thing but the dyno plot doesn't tell the story of how much better it is to drive - transient response has completely changed the car, he used to have flat foot shifting to stop it having to wind up again on gear changes even at >7000rpm... now it builds boost faster than that even short shifting.   It's 100% transformed the car before you even consider how much better it holds on: Pulsar and Garrett aren't the same, but from our experience if you're just looking for a better drive and the ability to make the same or more power I think the divided G30 770 would probably be the smallest I'd go to.
    • Great work Duncan, any events local you will give it a test once all done?
