congrats mate :)

good idea to buy them stock, you know it hasn't been molested by someone. Also gives you a better chance of getting a good life out of the engine rather than buying something pre-flogged. That's why I went for a standard car this time around - and RB25s have plenty of go even when stock :)

I don't know if really standard, tidy cars will become more popular as they get older but having a car that drives as Nissan intended really makes me appreciate how nice a balance they've gone for. Why you would want to put a loud exhaust on it, lowered on rock-hard coilovers, body kit, dicky stereo with bright flashing lights etc... is beyond me. They're a beautiful drive to begin with!

When I get the money to put a stereo in mine I want it to look like an OEM head unit.

heh funny thing is you buy a skyline with the intention of looking after and it treating it well. That all went out the window when i realized it was so easy to throw sideways stock then spending the money on the engine to make it go harder,

You dont buy a skyline to drive it around like granny you drive it like you stole it >_<. Im lucky to be in a place whre there are two skylines and i am unbeatin in this town with a mildy stock R33 gtst .

Haha... yas took me the wrong way..... i got a list of mods on plan for this car a mile long... and i intend to have fun with this car but i also wanna treat it with a bit more respect than i have my previous cars,

im completely determined to buy a 2835 pro and up the internals, then run nos and see what time i can run with this car....while at the same time i wanna keep it as an everyday driver...nice interior and all that

but yea im extremly interested in seeing what i can do with this particular turbo.....nothin to big just nice n comfertable :no:

      Import insurance in 2025

      I would hope so. I worry that it also might depend on whether the person working on the claim has had a good day or not. I could imagine that for example modified brakes would be an easy thing to point to for affecting the outcome of an accident. I don't know. I will keep paying my premium and hope for the best. But at the same time keep safe distances, drive defensively and avoid dickhead P-platers in lifted utes

      Coc or nox of nissan skyline

      I was just working on the assumption that a cammed V8 is significantly less polluty than a Japanese I6 turbo was at the way they tested it in an IM240. Perhaps I'm wrong! Perhaps cutting one of the readings I got in half is a tall order. I don't know too many people who actually got their cars emission tested with a RB to really compare the data.

      I thought it was just if “the modification effected/caused the incident”

      Ok, good to know. I have open loop I think, I forgot which ones which but I am running the o2 sensor, brand new and I got a new boost solenoid because my last one was faulty and overboosting by a lot, but it's still technically overboosting. Haven't really bothered to hunt it down as I don't send it hard regularly.

      You should not be able to see much smoke behind you if the mixtures are good - for ~13-14 psi anyway. It's not like you need to be running hell rich for only that much boost/load. Your tune might be a tad too rich. The tuner might have done that because they like to run a lot of timing. It's impossible to know what's going on from here. It won't be the actuator. It won't be the MAP sensor. Regardless of if by "MAP sensor" you mean either the Neo ECU's boost sensor (which is literally only that, a boost sensor so that the ECU knows a) that it's achieving boost, and b) that it is not overboosting) or you mean the dash gauge's MAP sensor (because it can't have any effect at all), or you mean the boost controller's MAP sensor (because it is very unlikely that it is running in closed loop, and so it is effectively just used to know when the pressure goes positive and so you can see the boost on the display, for the most part).
