You turn the stereo off, because the FUCHS! sound of the wastegate is way better anyway.

Bahahaha, +1 man. I drive to work along the Northern Ring Road, and I find myself pressing pause, so I can rev and flutter @ 103km/h.

.. when you walk back to your Skyline at the end of work, and shriek "Skywiiiiiiiiin" when you come back to your baby. (seriously got some looks once when I did that infront of some people, LOL)

... you come on here, read all these posts and feel like you're not paying enough attention to your baby, so you jump into some trackies and a hoodie, go outside at 9 PM and enter the house for the first time at 11:15 PM, satisfied that you have scrubbed/vacuumed/dusted your interior to the last inch, and have opened the bonnet to rub down every freaking part that you could reach with a dry cloth to ensure 'she' feels appreciated.

When your car is parked and you still get pulled over

Haha. Its happened to me too. I was parked while my mate went in to buy some drinks for a party, I was laughing cos my mate looks like he's 15 even though he's 20 and cops were driving right by him, and the cop parked next to me... signed me to put the window down and said: "Just take it easy son". I'm like: "Um... Always" and he goes: "I know what young kids like you do in them powerful cars and it never ends up pretty, so just take it easy."

And then he reversed and took off.

Sorry for digging but i read this thread all the time and felt that i had to input...

You know you drive a skyline when your driving down the road and see a booze bus with plenty of coppers and you turn in the nearest street only to see other skyline owners hiding and biding time.

you get pulled over by the cops only to have your mate in the back seat do a perfect impersonation of a VL turbo flutter+scream and have the cop jump around and look for it (true) LOL.

and you know that the only thing that can beat chuck norris is a skyline.

when the young girls think its 'hawt' and the older ones think you're retarded for owning it.

When no one believes it'll smoke a f**king mustang gt and you cant prove it because of a boost leak.

When your friends always try to get you top trade it for a mustang, even if it does have 600hp and nitrous hookups its no skyline.

...when you are on a airplane sitting on the tarmac the plane is taking off and you make BOV sounds shifting gears only to have some other kid think your retarded.

... and when your in an airplane taking off and you think to yourself "my car has more torque than this thing"! :)

    • For sure the later RB26 variants had a different setup (6 cam voltage sender?), but the RB25DE/DET share the same ECU pinout/PCB footprint, and at the ECU plug it ends up being 'throttle sensor in' & 'throttle sensor out' (to A/T TCU) ...you stick a multimeter on these pins and you'll find them directly connected (0 ohms) ; I had an pair of Nissan ECUs on the bench long ago, and I noticed this throttle sensor in/out link, actually linked to an op-amp ...which was unpopulated on the NA board, but present on the T board and I went 'ah-ha!' in some moment of clarity... ...it wouldn't surprise me if they changed strategy here though (in the software and actual monitoring of this signal), because they did with other stuff (A/T signals).. and 0.45v as a trigger point makes sense, as that's what the external TCU units expect at idle ; kudos, thanks for that insight...I suppose it boils down to whether or not Consult can display real time data of that signal's voltage... ...in any event, it presents the same target...ie; rotate TPS unit to achieve 0.45v to suit both ECU&TCU, and where do you goto from there? Just disconnect TPSwitch connector and/or that plus TPSensor connector....or do you go for the throat and disconnect IACV solenoid and see if it still stalls? (probably throws a recoverable fault code and goes for default idle strategy?)...
    • I’m also conscious that e85 is slowly being phased out. Not all United’s have them anymore. Can’t take the risk of being low on petrol and assuming the servo will have it. 
    • MR HAMMER has said his piece. Painted up to avoid Rusty Rusty. Actually lines up well. (i.e it lines up the same as the unmolested GTR guard). Turns out the GTR Strut brace does foul on the bonnet vents ever so slightly. May need a little bendy bendy if intended to keep using with a strut brace. So spacing it out to clear the FAST102 is not an option. Annoyingly, the bonnet vents also foul on the heater lines running over the engine. Given this engine does not EVER require a heater, a delete loop is going to be used. Don't worry, the defogger uses the AC. The heater is basically "Do not use the aircon and turn the fan on". It will still be effective, I promise.... once I get the system regassed... Will have to revisit with unvented bonnet I suppose, and suitable strut brace. There's plans to do this and other things tonight and bleed brakes (there was a weep) and put the bumper back on, and take Good Friday morning - Because troubleshooting on the side of the road limping it home at midnight tonight is ... not very smart.
