Hey Maverick I did check yours out and it to appears to be in Smick condition also(Definately not a POS!) :P

I got lucky with this one, its real neat, importing is always a gamble but honestly I would have been very happy with anything that was'nt a Lemon / POS.

Heres a few pics of the motor...

Thx dood.....needs a fair bit more TLC yet until shes sparkling clean :rofl:

BTW, I take back what I said earlier in thread regarding tramlining....drove my Car last few days with factory wheels and as new tyres, did'nt tramline hardly at all.

Turns out its my Dodgy 'worn on inside' tyres that were to blame, maybe the extra width didnt help either, but whichever it currently borders on the dangerous...!

is that a 34 motor?

It's not a 34 motor. At least im pretty sure it isnt. Looks clean though, probably recent rebuild.

About tramlining - I find tramlining has everything to do with the type/wear on the tyres and very little to do with the actual width of the tyre. I've tried a set of worn 245's before and they were basically undriveable on city roads and a set of new 255's which had no detectable tramlining at all.

This turned out to be the case in mine :(

Had to use a set of Factory GTR rims to comply it, they had brand new tyres....and my car did not tramline at all :D

My tyres on my R34 GTR rims are worn on the inside quite badly and some look to have been overinflated as are worn in the middle....I'll keep driving on them for a while yet...but geez do not let go of the wheel on a 'secondary type road' or you'll be off it ! :thumbsup:

Nope...sum1 asked bout the motor being R34...u can tell it isn't as the 34 GTR has different writing on the coil-pack/spark plug cover

Nah...it ain't a 34 Motor :D

I painted it, basically to keep with the R34 theme of the car......well it has R34 wheels and I figure thats enough to start a theme :) :)

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
