Ok fellas. This is a car im looking at purchasing here pretty quickly. Spoken with the seller quite a bit and hes a stand up guy. I wanted to get others opinions on the underbody though. Im assured its just surface rust and nothing to really worry about but i wanted to get a second opinion.

From the pictures what do you guys think? See anything terribly wrong?

Appreciate any input before i throw down the cash on my second skyline.

Looks to me like it was driven in snow country a lot and picked up the salt from the roads (they salt them to melt the ice). I asked a few ppl about the salt roads and the cars from southern japan (tokyo or further south) are less likely to have been driven on salt roads much. Based on what you can see in the photos, there's probably more rust lurking elswhere.

cheers

Care to elaborate? Why? That doesn't really help me.

this is only the rust you can see ,once it has got into the seams of car ..the stuff you can`t see ...car is basically farked..get some photos of front towers.. if there is any rust stains on seams near tower bars than car is genuinely rooted ..meaning rust is in bulkhead and cannot be fixed

this is not an uncommon problem and cars have been knocked back for compliance for it,personally i would not comply this car..going by previous experience :cheers:

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Given by the sheer number of questions about offset, absolutely not. If you had the information formatted this way: Space from R34 GTT hub to outer arch = 100mm Space from R34 GTT inner hub to nearest suspension arm = 90mm. (making this up) Buying a wheel that was advertised as Enkei RPZ5 Diameter 18in Width 9 Distance to arch = 84mm Distance to suspension arm = 76mm 100% of people would know instantly if it fits. They would absolutely also know instantly how close it fits too, and no questions would need to be asked. You would know you would have 16mm from the guard and 14mm from the suspension arm.

      Ah ok, for example for the apexi ecu I heard that it's pretty limited with the information it can give you. Also not sure why Nissan used the consult port over the obd2, what the idea there was.

      Diagnosing with and without is mostly the same. You need to know, as Duncan asked, and what conditions. Car hot, cold, idling, driving, if while driving what rpms, is when you're varying, or is it when held constant.   From there it's understanding what can be causing it. Starting with pretending all of the sensors are correct. Which means if it's going rich, why would it be thinking more air is going in than it is, and under what conditions. So things like if only when under boost, it could be be a loose intake piping joint. It's just understanding the system, and understanding when/how the problem occurs, and then if it's only occuring in specific scenarios, what can be causing it.   ECU specifically, if it's aftermarket, it'll have software you can use, for the Skylines on factory ECU, there is Nissan Consult you can use. Most ECUs have a way to get data from them.

      How do you go about diagnosing ecu's that don't have data logging, is it more experience at that point and just trying out things that you think will fix the issue?

      Stock O2 are basically useless beyond anything at stoich. Any misfire will also be seen as lean. The stock O2 also read a collective exhaust gas volume, not each cylinder. Sputtering and missing means not each cycle is firing, and some are. Which means even if rich, as shit, on cylinders as they miss, they'll read lean, but the cylinders that did fire will read rich, and combined, well, they can read anything from rich to lean.   Start with the basics before even going looking at sensor values.   Edit: I say the above, and that's coming from the guy with a few thousand dollars worth of scan tools sitting right beside me right now that I use frequently for my job.
