This was discussed in the site idea/feedback section but anywayz. Its good the made a point of mentioning it. Brings it more into the mainsteam - most people still don't know what a Skyline is or why it even has the following it does. When they sit in one and hear it ripping thru the gears then they quickly learn :(

Hmmm "there will be much chat when the V35 appears..." (paraphrase) - i'm not sure about that. Very few can afford a R34 GT-R as to, little own something even newer and more expensive. It's a whole different group to the commondoor HSV set!

Most are here are under 30 by the looks of things, but still many of us can eat 50 year olds in their 2002 Clubsports no worries ;)

Thats just hype talk about the 35, basically a big name drop. It was in wheels after all :(

I reckon most ppl know what a skyline is but still dont respect em. Cmon there are more lines out there than manaros but its still the comon misconception that u need cubic inches to make power.

Does anyone know how they were rated?

Who cares about performance forums. Too many REM's there. (Raging Ego Maniacs)

Be glad there's no market interest for skylines in Aust - if there was, the fuctory would import them and then they'd be subject to heaps of import duty and luxury car tax and stuff...

(Don't know for sure, so correct me if i'm wrong, but I think they are cheaper coz they are not imported by the factory.)

Put it this way. The S15 is $40k and it runs an SR20.

So the r33/34 would be in the $50-60 range.

To counterpoint, how much would Lexus charge for a Soarer (!!!)

im sure when the v35 gtr is actually released there might be more guys in japan selling r34 and going to v35, therefor with more r34 on market, you could see price drop a little bit...

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
