Hi guys, here is my pre-Skyline car that I would like to sell. This is what I've said in the ad online.

***PRICE REDUCED*** This is a great car that I'm sorry to be selling, but can't afford to keep as I've upgraded to a more powerful car. This car has low kilometres for its age, even cars newer than this have more k's on them. I've only had it for a few months after buying it from a dealer, who installed a new timing belt and new front brake discs before I bought it.

Since then I've had a new radiator and reconditioned air conditioning compressor put in, as well as an iPod compatible stereo head unit and four new speakers. Regrettably there are some cosmetic issues. The paintwork in places is faded, the rear window tinting is rippled and there is a dent in the left rear corner that I've been quoted $450 to fix. The electric window control on the driver's side is loose, but it could probably be fixed with a bit of glue.

The good news is that this car is fantastic under the skin. You can literally drive it all day and still feel fresh at the end. I drove it 1700 km in a weekend once, including a non-stop five hour stint, and it was wonderfully comfortable the whole way. It's fun to drive around town too, the 2.6L V6 sounds great. As far as fuel goes, well it's no Prius, but I usually get about 11.5L/100 km around town and 8.5L/100 km on the highway running 95 octane fuel (which is the only fuel I've put in it). It had no manual when I bought it so I've had one sent over from the US. The stereo system, which I've spent over $700 on, is very good.

This is a great cheap coupé that will last you very well. If you need a town runaround that's more interesting than a Corolla, or if you need a highway driver that's got more power than ... a Corolla, you'll be very happy with this car. Offers will be considered.

*** The car has been involved in a low-speed accident since listing. The damage from that accident (slightly chipped paint and so on) will be repaired prior to sale or the cost of repair will be deducted. ***

      Rb26- Enlarging Std Throttle Bodies

      By Predator1 · Posted

      bump. Anyone had this done? either 49 or 50mm? Been pondering what to do while mines in storage. Been thinking of DBW but if I do that, then might as well do this too. Want to retain 6 throttles. I have a fully build head(CNC, OS valves, 286/278 cams, etc etc still running squish), and a Greddy old school intake with port matching. Head bench flowed 300cfm. Wondering whether bigger throttles will give me any gains. Makes 563kw.

      It's the same with many brands that find their way into promotion via Youtube channel sponsorships. Those stainless guys, e-mail cut shippit, various other service and product companies.... they try to make it so that the only name that comes to mind when you think of doing those things is them, and then you just go get their stuff because your favourite channels are using it, so it must be good AND good value. Notwithstanding that the YT'ers don't pay anything for it. But a lot of people are not that sophisticated.

      It's surprising you say this because talking to someone who headed Toyota's CARB certification efforts and was now working for Mercedes doing similar things he said he never had a case where he found that it was necessary to reduce ignition timing for that reason. Knock limits yes, but never because of in-cylinder emissions profile. I'm guessing between EGR and the number of TWCs modern cars stack in series it's not really a problem. I really doubt the NEO is that big a difference. You get what, EV6 injectors, coil on plug, a cold start valve that works off coolant temp instead of basically fixed time constant valve, and... I really can't think of anything else. Not like Toyota where they shipped first gen GDI in the 2JZ-FSE.  Something I didn't realize is that Japan didn't revise their emissions standards for light duty passenger cars between 1978 and 2000. I'm guessing there's a bit of phase-in, but that explains why 2002 killed a bunch of JDM sports cars off all at once. FD3S, A80, S15, Z32, R34, Z15A GTO all died off for that reason. And explains how all these cars got away with no EGR or much of anything other than a TWC and charcoal canister for the longest time.
