hehe rigga..yes the good old boulevard.....my mate stakked his skyline there lollllllllll

its a great time to buy a skyline atm. Its a SHITTTT time to sell. The only way you will get rid of it quickly is to sell it dirt cheap.

I advertised on carpoint & unique cars. Advertised the car for 17K, I was looking for 15K because i wanted to get rid of it quickly because of financial troubles. Had a few tyre kickers and ppl wanting to drive it etc. I personally think that 15 was far too cheap, because i purchased the car a year ago for 22K. It was quite a nice example of a r33.

Eventually sold it to a mate for 15K. Lost out bigtime! I'm never buying another skyline again. The fines/canaries/epa's drove me insane. The car was nice but the running cost of up to 300+ bux a week in petrol was bullshit. The car depreciated hard in one year and because of all the bad publicity etc ppl dont' want to buy them unless its shit cheap.

Prepare to lose out. Thats all i can say. But put it this way. The longer you hold onto your car, the more you will lose out again. you might as well sell it now. R33 will fetch you probably 14-17K for a mildly modified model.

good luck.

I've had my car for just under 3 years now and I've never been pulled over or defected in any way. I guess its probably because my car has more than a bees dick clearance and the exhaust is a legal sound level :thumbsup:

As for running costs, I drove it down to Phillip Island for the long weekend and got 283km to almost half a tank of fuel... says something about the tune its in :uh-huh:

      After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
