It's back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Picked it up on Xmas Eve, had a great time in it so far but I'm still running the new engine in (it has been completely stripped and rebuilt now) so it'll go back in Jan for the last few bits to be fitted and get mapped.

Done 550miles so far with another 450 or so to go then mapping here we come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice car, nice engine bay

How many Skylines are there in the UK?

In Sydney for example, if you take a quick drive to the city on a Friday night you'll see around 5+ Skylines - are they that common in the UK?

Wink - There's probably over 1000 (at a rough guess) but most are nearer the south of the UK. I've driven over 1000km's in a week and only seen one other (a very nice R34GTR in Silver).

R33GTST's seem to be the most popular, then R32/R33GTR's then R34GTR/GTT then R32GTST's being the rarest.

did it occur to you that they're rare because they're the slowest and oldest of the ones he listed :P The UK has virtually no import restrictions, and the process is a lot simpler than ours, however the end-cost of importing (taxes, duties, customs etc) is a lot more than it is to Australia, so if you're gonna import, you make sure you get a good fast car to start with. R33's and R34's also have stronger factory Nissan support in the UK as they were both sold locally (grey imports, just like the R32 GTR was sold here).

but y ?

I would have thought the engine that came in the 34 would be far better than an older RB26...

Any gains in power would be minimal I would assume.

34 gtt's came with neo RB25's....which is what that car there is, a GTT not a GTR

looks so damn sweet B)

      I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.

      I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      By uchoa · Posted

      Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
