Do You Have Many Problems With Your Car?


Recommended Posts

a quick summary of what i have had to do to my car over the last 3 months that i owned it - timing and other belts, waterpump, rear light. Apart from the waterpump (which was covered by warranty), i had to pay for the rest - came to a total of nearly $300 (mind you the lights i ordered from japan through the dealer). Then there is the petrol - ultimate @ $1.50 a ltr (usually about 30 ltrs). Next there is going to be my exhaust, turbotimer upgrade and 5000klm service - well thats gonna be inexcess of 1600 easily. - coming to a grand total of - almost 2000 in 3 months...

Just adding - if i knew i couldnt pay for that, i woudl have just stuck with something that is not a turbo or an import....just my 2 cents

Have a look at this shit:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...c=114042&st=220

Honda Integra or Skyline? you got pwned bruss! prove you got a skyline/integra or whatever and take a photo of you next to it holding a sign saying "Hey bruss! SAU Bruss!"

oh yeah, skylines arent generally that cheap to maintain. They eat your fuel too. I hope that answers your question. LOL!!!

Dude chill the f**k out, shit costs money but if the car has been maintained well logically you shouldn't have as many problems. Keep posting shit like you are at the moment it won't be long before your banned from here.

well arnt your a tank poombah speaking on behalf of everyone on SAU. if noone cars then why does everyone keep talking in my posts. instead of sitting there like a fat shit why dont you start a constructive post of your own. mabey you should stick with the civic. it obviously suits your personality more. also my topics are no different to anyone elses. WTF IS YOU PROBLEM?

I have started constructive posts of my own Newbie, I no longer need to ask questions as I have gained a fair knowledge of my car from the *useful* posts that are started here

I'd tell you what my problem is but everyone else has pretty much already said what I think aswell.

& Judging by the majority of posts on your thread, people keep talking in your posts to bag you out

Loser.

Seriously tho it aint cheap since ive owned mine these are a few of the things ive done:

Waterpump replaced

Steering rack replaced

Coil Packs Replaced

100k Service

Tired Shocks/Springs replaced with coilovers

Turbo Timer

Intercooler

Numerous 5000km services

Climate control unit (yet to be replaced)

Electronic boost controller

They are sports cars and need to be treated as such, If you drive them hard then you must be prepared to service them often and fix bits and pieces when they die thats just the way it is. All in all good fun but can be pricey be prepared.

Edit: and dude relax

thanks for the 2 cents TOF.......another big brother cantidate right there

I'm probably contributing to this site becoming NS by this post but seriously what are you trying to achieve from your pointless topics?

BTW what is your next topic? How often do you wash your car? How often do you change gears? How often do you switch on your headlights? How often do you turn on your radio? First car, which should I get Civic or GTR? Already own Skyline, how to start car?

Sorry mods for this post, but magpies topics are really cluttering up normal areas of SAU and it's getting on my nerves. :)

EDIT: I'll contribute, I've had many problems when I bought my Skyline but that's because it was very cheap. The whole car has probably been replaced but nothing has broken yet! Damn cars stealing your money :wave:

    • Hello,new to the group, I bought a R32 from auction recently, wondering if anyone knows the cars history, seems to have the usual go fast bits on it, plan is to do an engine swap- add 2 extra cylinders and 1 extra turbo. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/i4rjmlzubjbwjtguh6f4s/IMG20241011140744.jpg?rlkey=q0lumm251377vknbqktfwrycq&st=7scvwx4e&dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ro24qmwzlczzlfsr4y05x/Screenshot_2024-10-10-10-49-23-90_9a2f5bb2149dae94cd1e190effc09b33.jpg?rlkey=oyguh26ttshlf04ccp48odf4v&st=xloae97b&dl=0   New to forums and posting pics, if links don't work, take it easy on me, 42yrs old and I tune carburettors!!  
    • As far as I know, Infiniti stopped importing vehicles before 2020, even though they were still selling their stock for at least a year or 2 after that, they were older build years, therefore, you can import a 2020 400R, because you couldn't buy an AuDM 2020 built Q50 RS. As for insurance, you might need to go through one of the enthusiast insurance companies, they tend to insure a lot more grey import models than the mainstream insurers as Duncan mentioned.
    • loved seeing the zenvo on the a1 just after the hatfield tunnel i was the guy in the white van trying to egg you on it sounded awesome and those exhausts glowing red inside insane cheers for the thumbs up tim and tom.
    • So.... when I'm finally getting around to having my power steering leak sorted, now it looks like I've got the same issue most A/T Skylines are having. My A/T light will randomly come on and I'm stuck in 3rd gear until I turn the car off and on again. Only 3 weeks ago I did a complete transmission service: Oil flush + new gasket + new filter. This came out of nowhere!! It wasn't like the car was driven hard. I drove about 3 mins down the road to get fuel and boom!!!  Anyway, I have a few questions and hope you fine people can help me out here. All questions are in red. 1. The solenoids: I was looking at the parts catalogue in Amayama and I could only find the Solenoids as an assembly. https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/319404ax05 I read in another thread that Solenoid A = 31940-4AX02 & Solenoid B = 31940-4AX05 but the Amayama product has only the code of B. Is this the right part? Can anyone who has done the Solenoid changes or seen them confirm if this is the complete set of A & B?   2. Gasket and Filter: I'm not going to try change the solenoids myself because it seems difficult to do in a home garage with just 2 jack stands. I plan to take it to a shop and get it changed. I was also going to buy the transmission sump gasket at the same time so I don't reuse the same gasket. Should I just use the existing gasket as it has only been on the car since OCT 19th? (~3 weeks) Should I be buying a brand-new gasket and a filter? Does this job involve taking the filter out?   Thanks in advance to everyone. It's hard to find a video of someone doing a solenoid change on a R34 so any help you can give answering my remaining questions would make me less stressed.
    • Yea - From what I have seen from the video, the car idles like any R34 lol 50PSI of fuel pressure is hardly super abnormal, the regulator is working because the pressure remains static when the throttle gets revved, i.e pressure remains the same when manifold vaccuum changes. Bigger pumps on stock rails always bumped the pressure in the rail without using an aftermarket regulator to change that. Do you know what your IAC is actually doing? Has there been any data showing the stepper motor % etc? There's no way your idle is actually moving around the way the cluster(s) are indicating. You would hear the difference with the engine RPM flying to 3k and 1k in mere seconds. I'd be checking the wiring to the tacho. What the tacho is telling you and what the engine/ecu is telling you are different things. I assume your ECU doesn't display the spike. So whatever is telling the tacho to be at X rpm is doing something weird. When the going gets insane, you're on the wrong path. You've ruled out plenty of things that are working correctly/aren't the issue. Your idle isn't doing what the tacho is indicating. You have two seperate issues, I don't think they are linked, and the idle seems reasonably okay unless it's stalling which.. well, it hasn't. Troubleshoot the stall if it occurs by figuring out what your IAC is doing vs what it is being told to do.
