my first time in a skyline was about 3 yrs ago.... my mates mate was picking us up from school although it was non-turbo still felt like it went and the sound was great. then last year i was looking at buying a car and took this 32 GTS-t for a drive and loved it ended up being it.

now i have a love/hate relationship with it, when something isnt working or goes wrong i hate it but then wen a nice cool day comes along and i give it a boot my :huh: turns into a :(

funny enough my first ride a skyline was with a chick i picked up at a club,

she called me to come pick me up and what do i see

she rocks up in a 11sec gtr,

that thing was insane now i own my very own beast and only death will part me from a gtr LMAO

Owned an Australian delivered Toyota Starlet....yes the 1.3litre variety! Then brought a NA Supra 93 model....had fun but not enough! Took a ride in mates R33 GTR with N1s, twin HKS BOVS....speed and sound brought my sole.......out went the Toyota and in came a black R33 GTST....light mods....does not match the awesome sound of GTR............out went R33...in came R34 GTT with full nismo options..........had a blast..............still hungry for more..........didn't muck around this time...........in came the final fling....the R34 GTR VSPEC now with twin GTRS huffers..........got the sound, the speed, and the look.

Not exactly a skyline, but a Nissan turbo none the less..

My first taste of boost..

I had been on the lookout for a neat datsun 1600 for a while.. FJ20 powered would have been the ultimate, but alas my bank account didn't agree with such a proposition.. Until I had a call from a mate who mentioned a certain FJ20ET powered 1600 was up for grabs. I knew the car and had drooled over it previously in the flesh.. No way it would be in my price bracket... "He only wants 6k for it"
:):O

Next day my mate drives me down to the guys place, I have a quick snoop around, front mount, BOV, Haltech, monster tach with a couple of other gauges and all in all very good condition for a 30+ year old car. Koni adjustables and lowered springs. He starts it up and with a little puff of smoke the mighty FJ20 is quietly rumbling away. "Wanna go for a quick run?" I awkwardly snuggle into the nice little black Aerotech bucket (matching pair) and click the buckle on the harness.

We pull off slowly to the first set of lights. "It's still a bit wet so I won't be able to show you what she's really got" (It had rained earlier and the road was about 70-80% dry).. Lights green.. we pull off revs building and for a split second I remember thinking "Shouldn't it be faster than this?"...... Then BANG after 4k all hell breaks loose!! the locked diff clambers for grip as the car steps out as he changes slightly early into second. I'm pushed backward into the seat, car squats a bit and feels like we are about to take off! Sideways wheels still spinning he backs off a bit to try regain grip.. Third comes with some wheelspin then slingshot into 4th momentarily where a corner stops our progression.

:O
HOLY SHIT I'M IN LOVE.. One of the best feelings for me to date.. Negotiated the price down to 5k and tell him I'll be back with cash ASAP... Unfortunatly I was fair amount short of that figure at the time, came back to him a couple of weeks later with the full amount but it was sold.... Absolutely devostated!!! Oh well I would probably be dead or a paraplegic if I had aquired such a vehicle at 17 years of age.. Still hurts to this day though.

    • 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. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
    • It's TWO steering wheels actually. 😛 one for each hand They are wheels, and they steer!
