Please say you can make it! ;):D

And if you're keen, some of us on Southern Skylines could maybe travel down to Balclutha for a meet one day to see you and your car? Never seen a new generation Skyline up close - and yours is a very welcome change from the normal grey ones!

Unfortunately, I have a cocktail party that night for one of my wife’s friends birthdays. So I won’t be able to make it. Sounds like fun though.

Are the V series skylines generally accepted by other skyline owners, it get the feeling they are frowned upon as they are not a traditional Skylines. I could be tempted to come a long to a meet in Dunners or if you were coming south, I will keep an eye out for meets. Are they usually posted in this forum.

Good call about the color, you are right Grey/Silver is the new white when it comes to imports.

Chur, oh well! There will be other meets. :)

We literally accept anything, only criteria for coming along to meets is that you actually like Skylines/Cefiro's or something else from the Skyline family. :) Like my brother brings along his Mk. IV Toyota Supra to most meets, and we've have turbo Falcon XR6's, RX7's, Civics, Hilux's, motorbikes, and so on.

Hope the guys here won't mind, but all the action happens over on www.southernskylines.com in the forum there. Its pretty much a club just for the South Island of NZ. :)

We'd definately be keen to have you along as i've been wanting a late model Skyline at meets for ages now! If you see any other Skylines, Stageas, Laurels or Cefiros in Balclutha it'd be great if you could tell them about SSE too. ;) Always trying to spread the word - SO many people don't know about us.

Here's some pics from of our last meet: http://southernskyli...?p=37138#p37138

Looks like you have a few members, I will check out the site you suggested.

Not many skylines down here I know of one R32 GTR though. And there was 1 Stagea in Balclutha but i traded it on the V35. It was the same as the Red one you had in the photos of your last meet, but a 4WD one.

      R34 GTT RB rough idle problem with weird RPM gauge fluctuations

      By Joni Boi · Posted

      Bit of a late reply here as me and my wife have been really busy with new born twins. I finally got these issues fixed and it was something really stupid that caused all of this 🤦‍♂️... After alot of mucking around with trying to figure out what is causing these issues, I back probed one of the R35 coils on the power 12v supply, with the engine running it got 25v! And I thought, hang on..., this isn't normal. Measured my battery with the engine running to check for over charge from the alternator and it wasn't that. So then I dissconnected the R35 PRP coil harness and backprobed the power supply on the engine loom where the ignition coil harness connects, with the key on ignition (engine off) it measured 30v! So then I had to trace where that high voltage was coming from and it lead me to the brown relay "ECM & IGN coil relay" inside the cabin next to the ECU on the passanger wall. This relay feeds power to the ECM and ignition coils. Tried swapping it with another same relay. nah still 30v.. coming from the 2 green/white wires in the brown relay. So then I set my multi meter to the beep continuity mode and probed every fuse on the fuse box inside the cabin to try and find this high voltage power source. Wasn't any of the fuses inside the cabin. Then probed all the fuses in the engine bay and BAM, got my power source that was a 10AMP fuse called "ENG CONT". Pulled the fuse out, and what do you know... it was blown. 🤦‍♂️  So then I quickly replaced it with a new 10AMP fuse, started the car and yeah haha [insert extreme face palm]... The RPM blimping thing went away, car idles smoothly now like what it was before. I swear! I checked all my fuses with my test light twice before I created this forum thread. I think, maybe because one side of that faulty 10A fuse lit up on my test light, I must have thought it was still ok and not blown. But now I know to have both sides light up on the test light when checking fuses... I hate diagnosing electricals.... I'd take mechanical problems over electrical problems any day🤣. Drove the car around my suburb with the engine up to operating temp and it runs fine like before. However, I notice that my fuel pressure is still at 49psi. So I'm thinking this must be normal for my system as I've upgraded the stock fuel pump to a Walbro 255L/h with a constant 12v mod.  But anyway, I'm just glad to have my daily back on the road! Thanks everyone for the replies on this thread, all sorted now! One thing I want to ask you tuner guys, my base fuel pressure on the haltech main settings are set to 43.5psi from default (my tuner must have not checked the fuel pressure maybe when tuning my car?). Do I set it to what it actually is idling on at 49psi? Or just leave it ("if it aint broke, don't fix it/leave it")?

      That cannot have been a fun set of drilling. The stock "baffle" looks identical to rb26, I just cut fuel cell foam to fit the full length under the baffle.

      I understand your sarcastic exasperation. But to be fair - the baffles do indeed fit OEM cam covers. They did omit to say that you need to do a bunch of stuff. But they do fit them.
