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:

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      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?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      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.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
