Ok so most ppl on here are big Skyline fans, and hence currently own one. But does anyone else constantly patrol the auto trader etc. looking for ideas for their next ride? Personally, I can't help myself. I've only had my gtr for 2 months, but Im already looking forward. I think I may sell it by the end of the year, because Ive just seen the next STi coming out...and Im afraid it may be the very thing to break my Skyline affair. Has anyone else got an idea for their next car, and importantly, will it be a Skyline???

Currently only having an R33 Gts-t leaves me open to a number of options.. depending on how this one goes for 2 or 3 years I might look into either a 98 GT-R upgrade..

would love to own atleast one.. otherwise.. well - an STI could be nice, not a fan of the lancers, however - 350z i don't mind..

Not sure yet.. have to wait and see.. as for trawling the classifieds.. not yet.. not yet..

Just sold my R33gtst... yes, i am having withdrawal symptoms already! :P

I have a non-skyline runabout car lined up for me as my living/work arrangements don’t really necessitates me having car, especially a high-powered 'line.

But nonetheless, i have been on the lookout for a good value gtr, most prob an r32/r33!

just drooling at the adds at this stage, but one day..... cue evil laughter.....hahahahah!

so to answer ure question, next car is not a skyline but wishin it was.

Yesterday I picked up my new car. Did drive (still have) a '93 Gts-T Line. Now I have a Toyota Chaser JZX100 with a 1JZ-GTE with VVT-i. Its a bigger car, has great response and im sure if it had the same mods as the line it would leave it in the dust.

4-door and all, still a great ride. and its not a 'im settling down' car, its a sleeper. Got some double takes when i was driving home. well worth it thou. took 3 months to get to where it is today (my car hole), and is a bit more that the 33, but hey, you only live once.

My trouble is that everybody drives em now days and i hate to follow trends. Yeh i can see the reason why, no doubt, but i havent driven one since i killed mine 6 years ago. I think the next car will be a go kart/clubman with a 3sgte or something stupid fast like that, for weekend driving. Untill then ill have to get my jollies from the vtec and that damn annoying rev limiter.

Chasers kik ass :spcartman:

yes probably will be. I will consider a nice 34GTR. or maybe a second 32. Probably before either of those will be a silvia or 180sx, but that will be a rally car, not street car.

Also, you spelt "Costanza" wrong mate. :)

I dont think you ever stop looking for other projects....theres sooo many more cars I want to own before I die.

Some pretty standard ones like your R34 GTR, others a little bit more Obscure, that for some reason or other I am attracted to, and not nessacarily performance cars either :)

yeah i'd love to own an R34 gt-r one day.... one day but considering im only 18, the R33 gts-t goes nicely atm, next car will proly be an SS ute.... thats right a holden :), ( for work related purposes but ), i'll still keep the '33 no matter what the next car i own is.

as much as i love my skyline, i realise the dream cant go on for ever (DUE TO THE PROHIBITIVE COSTS INVOLVED)

couldnt go back to a slug, so was thinking sometihng like a b4 liberty

more sensible

still fun

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
