I'm guessing it's the Nismo wheels that are the new look? If so I think it actually looks quite nice!

Don't spose you have any high quality pics of the front bar (especially the lip + fmic area) from either front or side view ? PM if you do.

Silver car with black rims, that thing must never need to be washed!! :P

A lot more practical than my own black duco/white rims combo. Your car looks awesome, it's got to be one of the cleanest cars on the road, not even a stone chip on the front.

Love the new look, but then again it's a Skyline, how can it look bad :D

Hell yes perfect combo for lazy people like me :D

Car does look good mate.......IMHO All a GTR needs is a bigger set of wheels (original ones look a bit puny these days), also any body modifactions to them ruins it for me :P

thanks for the comments everyone...appreciate it....

with cosmetic stuff sometimes you just dont know...

cheers

Mate. That IS exactly how I want mine to look. I don't know whether be happy or sad to see it. I'm happy becuase it looks how I thought it up in my head - I'm sad because you've beaten me to it and worse still you're in Perth!

Can I ask - did you get a new front bar and so on? Bought new or anything like that? I currently have a veilside front bar and no rear spoiler. I would like to get the Nismo front bar and rear stocky back on and am thinking of going new parts...

Nothing on that thing I would change. Perfect.

thanks Matt,

I bought a new front bar and lower lip from nissan, I bought the speed holes from some place over east and had them fitted.

Nismo bar would be preferable due to having the speed holes already...you live and learn....

I would always go for plastic vs fibreglass to aviod chips as much as possible.

thanks for the kind words again!

      Wheel refurb?

      The powder coating came in at $250 EACH. The TRX rims got a coat of clearcoat on the outside only.

      Pops when backing off throttle, rough-ish sound through rev range.

      Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.

      It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....

      Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
