Ali-turko, dont mean to offend, but people like you are the reason people think skyline drivers are wankers.

No. You're the reason cousins shouldn't marry.

ali-turko didn't do anything wrong - he's new to his car and thought we were talkin bout real products, and if you look at the functions they're damn good products :P

Everyone mods their car how they want it. We can all still laugh about it.

my my, such wit and guile! I really wish you wouldn't talk about your mother like that. I was merely making an observation.

I get a bee in my bonnet when people buy these cars "coz they're kool" and have no idea whatsoever about mechanics. I've driven an r32 GTR, and to tell you the truth, I was overwhelmed by what an amazing vehicle they are; I didn't feel worthy of it at the time I drove it, as I knew that you would need to be fairly switched on to drive it to it's potential. An (89) R32 GTR is also a 16 year old vehicle now, so I would like to think that those who drive them would have an inherent understanding of the goings on under the bonnet, the high likelyhood of something going bang if it's not maintaned to a T, and at least knowing that the turbos will most likely need to be replaced within the first year of ownership.

So that's why I get pissed when some squid with NFI goes out and buys a GTR with no concept of just what an amazing car they are, their heritage, and as one of THE best cars to ever come out of Japan, and wants a swichable 3L kit/ choose any other mod that someone with a clue would at the very least question the feasability of.

There are only so many GTR's in existance, and even fewer in Australia, and they deserve to go to worthy homes, and one day I would like to think that I'll be able to own one, that's if there are any left after so many of them being wrapped around poles or neglected to destruction, by people who buy them for all the wrong reasons.

So Ali, if that doesn't sound like you, I apologise, and at least you were man enough to admit that you made yourself look like a dick, which I do respect. But please, look after your damn GTR, get to know it intimately as they are very special cars that need lots of attention and respect. and for gawds sake, think before you speak, haters thrive on stuff like you said to confirm their beliefs that skyline drivers are wankers with no clue.

my apologies for the hijack. :lol:

Mate,

I think you make some good points and arguments. I too get frustrated with the whole car seen at times. Especially when people pigion hole skyline drivers. You know when you are at a party or whatever and the conversion turns to cars as it often does, on average how long do you think it is before a car conversation turns into a drift or 1/4 mile debate eg,:

Trev: "Mate, my BOV is sooo tuff, you should see how much faster I can run the 1/4 now mate..."

Alex: "Bullsh*t, your BOV sounds sh*t mate. I got a D1 spec drift BOV which sounds way sicker. My ride is sooooo arsy now mate." :lol:

I just try to see the funny side of all of this and like others have said let people do what they want, its not like you can stop them and at least its entertaining.

precisely!!! I just hate the fact that you have to be careful who you tell that you own a skyline, because more often than not, they automatically presume you are "one of those wankers". all because some twat thinks if he buyz a skyline wiv a big arse bov he'll get chikz. I tell ya, it's a hard stereotype type to sway people from.

but yeah, I still have a laugh at their expense, although the joke is completely lost on them. *sigh*

oh well, at least we can see it :lol:

seriously jezzerrr, you need to calm down and take a few deep breaths. ANYONE can buy ANY car they want for WHATEVER reason they want to buy it for. in the end, it is still up to them how hard or soft they drive it, how the modify it, and how they look after it in general. there is no one single individual that cuases a bad name for skyline owners as we all, in some way or another, have contributed....its just not visible in your own eyes. End of the day, you have to deal with it.

BTW, that was a lame mother "joke"

wow, I wish I could be as balanced and diplomatic as you. I know all that, but I'm still entitled to my opinion. did I say "because I think this way, you need to change!" anywhere? no. So what you're saying is, it's not right to be passionate about anything? Because someone buys, say, a Picasso, for the sole intention of laying a big turd on it, an art afficionado should just be cool with that, because "in one way or another we all contribute"? puh-lease.

The joke was meant to be lame. crazily, most mother jokes ARE lame as a rule. probably even more lame than cousin jokes. but thanks for stating the obvious all the same.

Oh and, you have to deal with the type of person I am, because, at the end of the day, we all contribute one way or another, so if people like me weren't around, the balance would be skewed and the universe would implode.

:lol: Honestly dude, unless it's right in front of me, I don't really think about it hey. I dont walk the earth thinking of ways I can rid the world of people that abuse cars. You're right, it is anyones choice what they do with what they buy. when the subject comes up tho, I'll still say what I think, if I feel like saying it. It did, and I did. but anyone is free to tell me I'm a wanker if they truly believe that nothing I have said is legitimate.

Hmm its getting a little to serious for people just giving their opinions dont you think. I agree with both of you, sure its nice if people respected and understood what a good car a gtr is and how to treat it, but on the same token not everyone does know and maybe they do buy a gtr for the "image" or whatever. wldcrd is right, they can do whatever they want... after all its just a car, and its not your car they're doing to.. Try not to get to stressed over something you cant control or you'll die a young man!

I'll make a serious effort at a reply

If you had a 33 gtr then it would be easy....

On a 32, a panel filter will not give you hardly any induction noise.

A pod filter will give you induction noise, but hardly any turbo spooling noise

A ball bearing turbo will give you turbo spooling noise, and a pod filter will give you induction noise. Easy

:D

young my arse! I'm 27 :D 28 next month :):(

meh. it only annoys me when it's right in front of me. other than that i couldn't give two hoots what anyone else does.

yeah who would have thought someone would actually make an electronic BOV. talk about the definition of poser. I mean, i gotta admit, when I had the Magna (now we're talkin) i wondered what it would sound like to have a bov on it, but I couldn't be bothered with the time and money for a turbo setup, but i sure as hell wouldn't have wasted the money on a bloody electric Bov. To tell you the truth now that i've got the noisy bov thing out of my system (by having one for a couple of months), I'm looking at going back to a modded stock airbox and plumb back so it's not so obvious

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
