Hey guys,

I have a fairly stock 97 r33 coming in a month. The plan was to do some minor mods (fmic, ebc, 18” magz, dump pipe) already has cat back and some A/m suspension. This is the thing, recently I have been thinking about taking the cash allocated for the mods and buying a 250 motorbike instead and getting my bike licence. So instead of a car how I want it I would have a stockish car but also have a bike to ride around on.

What are your thoughts? What would you do?

Either way, you will be happy. I think get the bike - you will appreciate your Skyline more, especially when you get caught in the rain on the bike.

What type of bike were you thinking of?? On your L's now you can get up to 650cc as long as the power to weight ratio isn't too radical. Maybe get a cheaper bike to begin on, then you still have some cash for the car.

Yep, same situation. Was gonna get a bike, then decided totally against it after hearing about other bike owners run ins with drivers who 'didn't see them'. So i saved all of my money towards the skyline. There is not a lot of room for error on a streetbike, not matter how good the rider is, you can't take into condsideration other road users stupidity.

having owned a bike - I would say go the mods on the car - no point splitting your money between two points and ending up compromising both....

you get both responsible and irresponsible people in cars AND on bikes, so why go spouting crap about either? just do your best to avoid them......

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
