Hi All,

I've recently bought my skyline! I just love it - a black, R33 GTS25T and lowered. Have got to say that is one good manual site...just wished I'd seen it before I bought mine about a week ago :ph34r:

Anyways it's probably been asked before, but since my car didn't have an insturction manual, there were two questions I had: Thx in advance

1) I was wondering if it was normal for the HICAS light to come on and the go off a second or so after starting up the car. It never comes on while driving.

2) My oil pressure light stays on for about 2 seconds and then goes off which is when the needle on the oil pressure gauge starts to move when I start up the car..this is normal right? As far as I know, the oil pressure levels vs. RPM are ok as far as I can tell...am I being paranoid?

They are nice cars!

Cheers fellas!

Most cars run through a self diagnostic when they start up.. it's when they don't light up you get worried :(..

nah it's normal.. hicas & abs & oil will all come on.. than go off.. oil should go up to about 6 until it's warmed up.. than head down to about 2 - 4 operating pressure..

glad you enjoy the manuals..

Phew, thats reassuring! Since when I checked it out, my mate who was with me at the time was getting more excited than the dealer! Took it for a short drive and before I realised it he's encouraging me to leave a deposit :D

Anyway, I'm pretty broke atm but eventually I want to put a cat back exhaust system in and a direct cold air intake. I heard that's supposed to put power up into the 200+ kW @ the flywheel alone! I want the car to still sound the way it does now though..kinda like a low growl...subtle but nice.

After that, tint the windows, put a nice pair of seats in like Duncan's and a proper head unit...and a new bonnet with a subtlely stylish but functional scoop to lower under bonnet temp.

Really want to change the oil and oil filter along with the spark plug and fuel filter myself but that might take a bit of developing my knowledge first!

Well, thats the excited ramblings of a new owner for now.

Cheers,

AF

Really want to change the oil and oil filter along with the spark plug and fuel filter myself but that might take a bit of developing my knowledge first!

all of those are pretty easy to do yourself, have fun!

thanks for the uploads Links, been looking for a while...

No worries Joh - AF man.. don't look @ the fly - count @ the rear wheels :P..

As for spark plugs and so forth - depends on what year the car is... everyone recommends oil + filter + spark plug change- depending on where you get it from if it's just been compliance oil + filter should have been done..

Good luck with it..

Thanks guys for the tips! But guess what? I was late for work one day and I swung my car into a tight park between another guy's car and the steel support beams...guess which one I hit??

It was the post - on my left rear panel just after the door :D Now I've got this mad scratch about 30cm lond and 15cm wide that looks like a giant car was sharpening its claws on the side of my car...it was barely one week old at the time :):D

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
