ahh, G'Day Skliner's !! (sup)

enough of that crap...........Does anyone know where I can find this info...

How many registered (on the road) model R33 GTS/GTS-T's are there in Australia and then in Victoria alone; (not interested in GTR's, or are they considered to be 'Skylines as a whole' by the road authorities).

I would also like to know, for comparison sake, how many current model Commodore and Falcons there are registered.

I know it's a big call, but I just want to direct the answer to a couple of knuckle-head work-mates who keep on saying that the (R33)Skyline is "so fucHing common....er, like commodores...er...'burp'...you see them everywhere!!!"

Rather than be like them, I would like to present some comments that are a little more factual and better presented er...burp.

If someone can just point me in the general direction?......

anyways Skliners,

chankya! :wassup:

the reason they notice them "everywhere" is because they notice them over other cars on the road.. thereby making their own shitboxes boring and blending into the background and a skyline something different.. therefore their hypothesis is inherently flawed..

bah fords and holdens....who pays attention to those rust buckets anyway... i wouldnt notice one if was painted fluro yellow with a billboard nailed to the roof... the only way id probably notice one was if it was eating my dust in my mirrors, and even then it wouldnt get a second glance....

their f**king common as...:):D:D

Why do you care what they say? ...and even if you did find out how many, it's still not a fair comparision as you know.

It could be the fact they are easily spotted now because they are different to what is available locally. God I gave up looking at Skylines after one year here, except for BNR34...BCNR33 and BNR32 aren't a big deal to me no more.

I don't see that many skylines on the roads among all the other JDM cars. Human nature you don't need to see 5 a day...just seeing 1 different Skyline...week in, week out it's enough to say they are common.

Why go to all the trouble just to prove a few knuckle heads...is there a prize to be won?

welll..in Canberra at least...there are nowhere near as many!

it's just a dumb arguement...

just as a test - anyone, anywhere in Australia sit at a major set of traffic lights and look around you. Guaranteed there'll be a Commodore or Falcon there somewhere. Probably quite a few. You can't say that about Skylines, anyone who thinks there's just as many is delousional (sp?)

There's heaps more than there USED to be, which is why people start these stupid arguements. meh i don't care anyway, if there's lots on the road it's obviously because they're great cars :):D

thanx for your support guys (and Michelle), I suppose I'm one of those "here are the facts" type of people. After reading these threads, I suppose I don't need to be.

These recalcitrants (at my workplace) can go an get sodded!!

Anyways................

Up the Skliners. (and the Irons)

Mark.

superspit, try and find how many cars where imported TOTALLY in a year and then see how many commodores are sold each year.

I read somewhere in 2002 when i imported my car there was something like 27k cars or so. say 15% of that are 33's then thats about 4000 in one year. holden sell in excess of 27,000 commodores a year.. eaaaasy!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.

      Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂
