GTiR use timing chains. and ther will be no crank over at all if the valves are hitting the piston.. i might come have a look wher u located..?

the timing chain is alot stronger (opinionated) than T belts. and dont need changing.

check how much oil u have. perhaps ur mechanic forgot to tighten the sump plug and ur oil leaked out.

sounds like its cranking over. so im guessing its gonna be no spark. they check ur ignitor.? get a compression test

all cars run shit when cold. its just they run a different map and have the auto choke on. u shouldnt drive a car hard untill it reaches operating temps.

No offence but you almost seem as though you have as much mechanical knowledge as the rest of SAU. Since when does an EFI car have a choke?

And whose opinion that a timing chain wouldn't be stronger than a belt?

Sif a chain would be weaker than a belt. I've only ever heard of one timing chain breaking before. Usually people blame the chain for being noisy when it's actually the tensioner that's broken or a guide. Anyway, off topic.

You are, however, possibly on the right track with spark. That would make sense with fuel coating spark plugs. Do you have a spark tester?

don't take this the wrong way, but all that to achieve 300rwkw and not to really use it?

like you said, there's a valid reason: owning too many cars and hardly driving it.

and i'm speaking generally here; but doesn't anyone plan things anymore?

why i want the skyline?

what i want to do with the skyline?

how am i going to achieve the above?

just seems a shame that's all. alot of hard work and no enjoyment.

Yeah Ive had the car for 3 years, I bought it thinking id have it for 12 months like my other skylines.

But it grew on me, but i need to see as life has changed rapidlly for me in the past 6 months.

So in short yes I did think about this, Ive had 3 years with the car, yes it only reached its goal in the past 6 months, but now life has changed and I dont use it nor see it anymore. So I may as well not have it at all.

Its sad but its time to go and move onto something else... Im not giving up the thrill of performance cars/bikes, I still have the S15 and the GSXR...

lol yeah, the new owner was roasted on cb for trying to race someone who was driving a corolla or something and then having a mate moon him out the window when he refused....sounds like an A Class skyline owner!

    • So, when are you trying the new GR86 or BRZ?
    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
