Hi,

Im part of the skyline owners club in the uk and was having a look at your forum,

Its really good,

Have a look at my gts turbo i got her last week and im starting to do her up.

Its quite unusual for a young female to drive one of these cars in the uk as there seen as a mans car,is it the same in Australia?

nice one... most of the girls I know in england drive Micra's n 318i's.

Welcome to the forum. Over here there's still way more guys in Skylines than there are girls (think about 50 to 1 according to my guesstimations). Girls in imports usually drive FTO's, silvia's and the occasional R33 GTS or GTSt.

Enjoy your stay... and prepare to put up with a few hundred posts from guys askin if you're fit :rofl:

Welcome to the forum, and nice looking car as well. Great looking kit. Pity you are putting such large rims on. Prepare to be extorted for tyres. Anyway, enjoy the car and hope to catch you around the forum.

BTW watch that Roy guy. He's off to the UK soon and before you know it he'll be taking over you garage and sleeping on the floor :(

Troy's moving to the UK? oh my god... how's he gonna get sunburnt n go all pink now? Make sure you buy something proper while you're there n bring it back as a personal import.

Hey, this thread is not about me, anyway its no sin; getting sunburnt, sleeping on friend's floor setc, is it:)

We do love doing crazy things to them,i have a bit planned for mine just need to save up the pounds to do it.

Thats the great thing, the pound buys a lot when you are looking at Jap gear. Its so cool now that there are more jap cars coming into the UK, you can only do so much with turbo fwd cars pumping out 150hp:(

...and the cost of gettting them registered etc isnt as prohibitive...rather then a Sierra i can so easily see myself hooking up with another R32 once i have settled in...keep an eye out for me later this year cruising around Clapham Junction, ill be easy to spot

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
