I have a feeling that 2007 should be called the year of the broken Skyline.

Mine's been broken for nearly 3 months... Is yours broken, or has it been off the road this year waiting to be fixed (for any period of time)? And why?

Yeah... but only cause I wanted to make it a little less stock.... :(

Now it keeps biting me in the a55..... buuuuuuut... this weekend as long as no more turbos sieze it will be back :rofl:

Mine's been off the road since late February :rofl:

CAS died while driving fairly hard, overheated the hell out of it, needed a new turbo and decided to do everything in one hit. Work on it has taken forever having it done through a friend and now have totally lost patience and taken it to a workshop to have the rest of it installed. Should be pretty nice when I do eventually get it back though...

techincally no...

oh wait...

yes :rofl:

damaged front bar... with a long ass repair time...

f**k

last year was worse for me though, but this year, about 80% of my friends that drive have had major car problems... 2 being written off, and one being burnt to a crisp... the rest are things like, getting keyed, broken difs, blown turbos, warped brakes etc etc etc...

    • This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone
    • Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.
    • I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.
    • I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?
    • I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
