Hello Australia from Siberia!!!I have a Skyline R33 ECR Type-S, RB25DE, 5 manual. At this moment in Krasnoyarsk temperature is -27C degrees, my Skyline is in very hard situation. Sometimes it falls to -40C, -47C :laugh::P:P . But there is one + , I can drift all over the road :P:D:D .

Japan cars are the BEST!!!!

:D:D

In Canada they plug there engines into something to stop them from freezing, do you do the same thing over there? Or do you just defrost it the next day ? :D

Are those temperatures only in winter?

Reminds me of a winter I had in Edmonton Alta. (where yes, they warm the block by plugging it in to the household elec.)

Any salting of the roads there?

Went to St Petersburg in '04; but the visit was arranged for June; not winter!

Terry_GT-R34 - no, here roads are sandind (sand), its dont help too much. LSD is helping in that situation.

some_cs_student - time clock. At extreme cold weather, time clock starting the engine each hour. It works some (15-20 min) time and shutting down automatically. Here 8 month in the year is winter (in Jan and Feb super cold) .

johnd320 - 50 % anti freeze (Castrol) 50 % water. It helps up to -50 cold.

DR JOSH - We dreaming about 15C :D:)

sneakey pete - lets change locations :D:D

P.S. sorry for my English ;)

Thanks for the reply.

Another question:- How do you source and locate parts and reliable troubleshooting information? I mean there's no Russian translation of a workshop manual (and English is not your 1st language - not that English translation material is that easy to come by either).

Has the Skylines Australia forum or the "ClubSkyline.RU" site been helpful to you? If so, in what way?

Your english seems fine to me :)

8 months winter....don't think I could deal with that, but the time clock on the car is an interesting concept, I was wondering how it survived without freezing :)

Heres mine in Hokkaido, Japan across the road from you guys. Our winter weather comes from Siberia, not as cold as you but does get down to nearly -25+ !

I forgot to put the car in the garage last xmas eve and woke up with hellish hangover and 2 hrs snow shovelling to dig my car out.

The anti-freeze I use is called booze!! Keeps me warm on the inside while well lubricated to function in the cold!!

My guess is you guys in Russia would get parts direct from Japan seeing there are heaps of people exporting cars to Russia from Japan.

Good to see the GTR emblem is still visible :D

Hicas: Your english is fine, actually its very good. Are there any problem arising from the cold climate? Rust?

Terry_GT-R34 - thanks to Japan engineers, Skyline still reliable even after 14 yers exploitation, and milage about 270.000 KM (My Sky is 1995 year production), Iam using this Sky 2.5 years, in that period I only change clutch disc (Koreian, I burn it during drifting :P , it costs 60$) , 2 links (QSTEN STB-109 45$) and fuel pump (Masuma 85$, quality of gasoline in Russia is awful). Its normal. In the same period of using, Russian car would collapsed. Of course http://www.clubskyline.ru/ helping some times. There are many users of Skylines, Silvias, Cefiros and other Nissans, there we sharing experience :P

elrodeo666 - You right. There is a site ( http://injapan.ru/ ) from which, you can order any part you Skyline need.

Some time before, I order there a Cusco turnbuckle (125$)

Btw , how much costs Skylines in Japan? Let it be BCNR-33 1995-96 year, or ECR33 with RB25DE?

Let me show you, my elder brother Skyline ---->

And some flaming

:D

Your English is fine ! Certainly better than a lot of others on here!

I could NOT deal with that weather. I seriously feel like capping myself having to live thru a Perth Winter.

( maybe 2 deg C is the lowest it gets)

How do you work on your car? heated workshops I suppose.

So do I understand this right that your car starts itself every hour and runs for 20 mins then shuts itself down ?

Thats pretty cool ! ( pun intended )

    • Do the following first and get back to us. - Clean and verify your IACV - Verify for vacuum leaks/post MAF leaks. (Pressure test is the best and cheapest way) - Do you have a BOV with stock ecu/MAF? If so, remove it.     
    • Hey all, The skyline I have is stalling when the engine is at normal operating temp.  When starting it while it is cold, it'll run just fine.  I have replaced the battery (bad cell), I have replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter and clean the MAF sensor.  Any other suggestions?
    • Thanks for all the information on this.  I tried ordering the parts from Amayama website and all 3 Solenoids are discontinued and not available.  Does anyone have any other websites to suggest that I could find the parts?   Separate issue-- I will start a new thread, but basically the vehicle is stalling when warmed up.
    • It's unfortunate what Tomei USA has done to Tomei's name in general. I'm very weary of ordering parts from them now. I only order direct from a Japanse source (e.g Nengun). At least their logos are different, so you end up knowing what you have. 
    • Update Issues 5 (plus #4) - 10 After making a claim about issue #4's missing part, DeAgostini Japan sent a whole new issue #4 and it arrived about 2 weeks after that. That was back in early March. It took another 4 weeks to receive issues 5 - 13 though. This update is for issues 5 - 10. Ove the 5 issues the front left suspension and most of the engine have been completed. The quality of the castings and fit of the parts is quite good, it seems better than DeAgostini's BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the Fast & Furious 2 movie, which (to me anyway) doesn't seem to have as tight tolerances or quite as accurate castings.  Each issue has a lot of info about the 1989 - 1993 Skyline range and other Nissan models from that era, but the focus is on the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo and the various racing it did in Japan, Europe (Spa 24hrs) and of course Australia. I've included some text translated with Google Lens in some photos and will add to them if there's anything worth including.
