yeh i was thinking that too, but the car hasnt done many km's, so i hope its not that, ive treated it good, and its only done 70,000km..... what would be a good diff upgrade?

what exact model of tyres do u have?

if it spins third trust me mass, they cant be good :P

i got some new toyo t1rs, and although i dont have much power they are like night and day compared to my old tyres.

you dont really believe the odo do you :)

well i dunno, but my car is pretty clean Arup, and drives fine, id say it has around the 70,000km on the clock, by looking at the interior and the wear and tear its not bad, so i dunno how many k's but id believe it.... i am due for some new tyres, but its not just that guys, it spins them easy which is wat im trying to say, before the work was done i couldnt even chirp 3rd, i even struggled to spin 2nd with these tyres....

yeah your car is a very clean one, one of the best ive seen, i see what u mean, lots of extra power compared to before :) cant be bad!

i guess when u get your car back you will have plenty of fun frying your current tyres before u get some new ones :P

lol, i will indeed, just have to be carefull not to fry other things!!!!!

thanks for the comments, i think mine is a clean example... i have to take u for a spin soon Arup. Pete, you and i have to go for a cruise soon..

Is the condition known? The $600 1/1.5/2way second hand items have an unknown condition/possible rebuild.

$800-$900 second hand are generally a good second hand item.

Thats what I've came across anyhow. Obviously there are some good deals floating around, just need to be in the right place at the right time. :)

yeh i dunno man, mine seems fine for now, it was just a thought, cant really spend that money on a good working diff atm...

was thinking of working my gear box a little....

yeah i doubt the diff would be that much of a problem. best to save money for other stuff that might break.

either way, cubes, for you info you can get 1.5 or 2way kaaz lsds brand new to your door for $1150 with 2 bottles of oil, so i think 8-900 for a second hand is a bit on the dearer side :)

tuner just rang me and said he found 2 cracvked plugs while tuning today, had to replace them..... i have to say skylines are a hastle some times, he had to take the piping off 3 times LOL...

i cant wait till saturday.....

I've had issues with cracked plugs, that was such a nightmare. I had the plugs out 2 times and couldn't see any cracks, the third I found one plug with a crack, the tuner found another 1.

Need to be very very carefull tightening the suckers up. Keep it 90degree's, I was lazy and left the cross over pipe on and used a swivel. :)

yeh i know he was telling me, he took them out the first time to gap them, then had issues later so he checked them out to find one cracked, then again checked them to find another one cracked.

hey guys, my car is finally back..... overall im happy, although there are a few more things needed...

the car is a little laggy, hits full boost at close to 4000rpm, which is the bad part from all this, but i have to say its a lot stronger....

the car pulled over 240rwkw...

which i think isnt too bad, with the standard engine and cams...

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
