Yeh i agree with u there skylines do suck:rolleyes:

Nahh seriously, they have big engines(in jap terms), they have turbos, there are alot of em around, they are easy to squeeze extra hp out of, they are relatively easy to work on and most of all they are well built.

U can do 200k on the engine and it should still run damn well unless u work the hell outta them and up the boost too much.

Y do u think the vl did so well over here?? all the same reasons

also the longest thread has been over 200 pages so it'll be very hard to beat that.

I will beat it dont you worry...

if people love them right about them I am personally attracted to the rear lights however it is funny how a few other companies have started producing cars with round tail lights!!!!1

and also the new ford is it that looks similar to the r34.....

they rock simply because they do...

love the styling...

love the power...

love the modability... (its a word damn it!!)

love the feeling u get when u first sit in one...

love the feeling i get when i sit in it every other time...

love the fact that when i see another skyliner they all show some sort of recognition no matter if theres is bigger and better (except when u come across an R31 or :D)

love the respect that they demand and get...

i love the car.

this doesnt just go for skylines but I like the fact that they(imports) seem to be far ahead technology wise compared to other cars...tell me what other 93 model and lower has 4 wheel streering abs all eletrics etc it seems as though only today other companies are making cars to this standard...?? correct me if im wrong

Not to mention what ford/holden which is a early 90 model that has a twin cam 24 valve 6 cyclinder engine.

Hey I think ford have just done it.. :D

10 years later.

Holden are behind the times still though.

That new 4ltr Turbo XR6 is going to get up and move.

Hey has any one seen the brochure book type thing ford sends ppls who have bought a ford before.

New XR looks quite nice I think.Nice lump in the bonnet, nice head lights.. Still they should have done this years ago.

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      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 ?

      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

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      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.
