Come on fella's i need a bit of a reality check here. Who puts the most KM's on their Skyline a week? GTst and GTR?

Just curious. I seem to have gotten it in my head that these are fragile little cars that need protecting!! LOL!! And cant cope with general useage, which i know isnt true... Im still thinking of buying a cheap run around as a second car when i have to go back to a 40KM round trip to work and back early next year... ( at the moment im renting within walking distance of my work)

So give it to me..... I can take it.... :wave:

Heya, I have been using mine for work and general running about, totals about 350km per week, been a good car when I keep it serviced. But I have been thinking of buying a rolla' as a work car and keeping the skyine for weekends - done the maths and it should work out cheaper :wave:

Oh' its a R32 GTS4...

Man, I abuse my car in terms of usage.

I average around 700 a week in a 33 gtst.

Alot of highway/freeway type driving and I usually get around 12l/100kms.

Living 60ks away from your workplace is bad!

same boat man,

cept my workplace is all over qld- so at times i drive like 1200kms to work lol.

Prob average maybe 550-650km per week tho..

I car pool of sorts, so only take the 53km return trip to work 2-3 times a week. Throw in a little drive on the weekends.... fill up every 2nd week. (edit... 1.5 weeks LOL)

    • I'm with GTS, that's not an actual overheat issue. That's an electrical issue.
    • So, it's clearly an electrical problem. Either with the gauge itself, or the sender. It appears to be voltage sensitive (ie, alternator output affects the reading.
    • Yes, at this stage of SAU threads, I  automatically assume that anyone here knows that everything depends on each and every setup and its choice of parts and what an individual wants from the setup. I think your misunderstanding what I've said, I'm not saying your curve will move to the right.. I'm stating the opposite; that my setup has a much larger turbo than my last one, my current exhaust manifold runners are 2-3x longer than the last one, the intercooler is longer and thicker (hks 103mm thick), the itbs are now oversized from 45mm up to 49mm, and the plenum is now a larger Nismo plenum that's been port matched. As a result, I'm making more power, torque and boost 1000rpm earlier than my last setup. My curve moved left, in a big way. You guys with 800-1000+hp turbos should be considering hks v-cam or the other Japanese company Sakura who makes RB25 Neo vct adaptor kits for RB26's. they all make more power / boost / torque far earlier and higher peak numbers. Dahtone Racing modifies the Hks v-cam systems to his own specs and he also developed the worlds first and best dbw individual throttle body kits, to complement his V-cam. Every single car is 800-1200+hp and they all produce huge gains in response and peak power. 
    • I have a 2008 Skyline 370gt with about 160,000 km on the clock currently. A while ago, I noticed the temp gauge would start climbing but it comes down when I give it some throttle. I took it into the shops. The technicians comments are transcripted below. Reported they couldn't find anything wrong with the vehicle mechanically and they pressure tested the cooling system. Funnily enough, the technician commented that the temperature dropped back down when the car is stationary but this is when I'd notice the temp gauge to be climbing. Just wondering if anyone else experienced anything similar to enlighten me? Cos at the onset, the temps were going up one tick and then comes back down when I step on it. Now, the temps are climbing all the way to the top of the gauge, and it's making me very nervous lol. It also doesn't come down to the neutral position anymore. PS I do have a small exhaust leak near the drivers side caused by when I got f**ked by a really steep driveway at a mall I never visited before. Not sure if this would affect the sensor. Technician comments: Check and verify Fan/Cooling system - ALL OK max 106*C and fans operating at 100% Cools down right away. Checked Fan Operation - 55%@101*C, 85% @ 104*C and 100% @ 105*C Vehicle did not exceed these temperatures with max load. Temperature recovered back to 99*C after fan operation while vehicle Stationary.
    • It really depends on your setup. Mine is 'accidently' more suited to revving higher. bigger cams, turbo etc. Plus my super long first takes donkey years to come onto boost, so if it will move my power band to the right, maybe i'll pass on this. i have a G45-1500 going on there soon which I suspect might make it more of a fat pig.
