Heh, congrats! I've only owned mine for about a month now (r32 gts-t) and I've dropped back to being a student this year! I have no idea how I'm going to afford the habbit! But I love it nonetheless!

The 125kw @ the wheels she's got atm just isn't enough! More I say! :D

HE HE HE --- ahh...sweet memories...i still remember the first time i saw my line and took her for a test drive the 1st time and not having to sleep properly for 3 weeks thinking of the day that i will come back for her to pick her up...i even dreamt about her in my sleep...it was that bad.

i still get butterflies when i cruize in it...i love my line...the best ever. ( so far )

i'd say...start saving up...i made a promise then that i will leave the line as it was then...but i have broken that promise and i did some engine mods.. HE HE...very expensive i must say.

but best of all...ENJOY mate...and welcome to your new addiction.

I've had my SII for about 10 days now and I FULLY understand your feelings towards the car Brave!!! :P I go on all sorts of pointless driving trips, and it's the first car I've ever owned that when I get home again I feel like I'm not ready to stop driving LOL

Ahhhh boy do I know how you feel... has been... 8 and a bit days since I got mine. My fuel bill is disgraceful, anyone who even looks at my car, I offer them a ride :P I could just drive and drive and... drive. I'm hooked as can be :( If I didn't need my job to pay off the car & fuel it up, I'd quit and just cruise all day.

LOL me too, my fuel bill was $110 in the first week lol...it's now $140 after 10 days

Had my car for 5+ years, I got it back on the road after a 3year stint with public transport (The courts insisted :P ) and I'd forgotten how much I used in fuel every week :)

Got to experience that same Buzz a second time, it felt so good to get back in the drivers seat and feel the steering wheel again :)

I congratulate you on the return to your skyline! Enjoy the buzz once more. i couldnt handle having my skyline in the garage and not being able to drive it for three years, i think i would end up in therapy of some sort!! :( Hasnt fuel gone up in three years!!! :)

    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
    • Run some injector cleaner through it I had a similar issue that plagued me for months, even tried replacing the cat. If one or more injectors are blocked up the ecu sees ping so pulls timing and makes the tune rich overall, you'll see black smoke coming out of the exhaust and like me assume it's running rich but it could only be one or two cylinders  $10 bottle of injector cleaner and the next time I hit boost it pumped out a huge plume of black smoke, cleared the blockage and then ran great, if that's not the issue it's only a cheap thing to try haha
