Hi SAU forum members,

Been meaning to do this for about a month...

Just mooved back to newcastle nsw after a stint in WA and just bought my first skyline.

Its a mildly modified 2000 r34 gtr vspec with a few minor issues (e.g. busted awd, wiring issues and a defect or two) but still a great car.

The plan is to get the issues sorted and to do a track day here and there. In the mean time i hope to go on a few SAU cruises and meet some other skyline enthusists (nutters)

welcome.

please elaborate on "busted awd" lol

ahh...not working...lol

Not totally sure of the root cause yet to be honest. But the last owner's tuner assured me it was either the transfer box clutch or the high pressure oil pump that controls the clutch. Aparently it was imported in 2006 with the problem.

I'll be getting my mechanic to look over it once my daily arrives. In hinesite, i probally should have checked it out more throughly when i bought it. However i got a good deal on the car and will still be a good deal even if i have to replace the whole drive train (hopefully it wont come to that lol)

Either way, it made hitting boost in the wet interesting until i replaced the bald rear tyres(not from me!!!:whistling: )

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      Yes, but it's not as easy as pulling a fuse on anything other than an R32. There's a routine you have to do, involving disconnecting a loom plug and bleeding down the preload.

      A question for tuning awd, is it possible to disable the AWD? The stagea is an EA/T AWD, Toshi had said on a GTR, he was able to disable it and make it 2wd. Just wanted to double check if this was possible

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Lithium · Posted

      Whoa, that's a name I've not see for a long time! Sorry to hear about the engine / turbo damage.  Fwiw with any engine problems it often really a case of just seeing what happens when it's apart, ymmv - I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the damage isn't even from the turbo failure, or possibly from a combination.  The airflow between cylinders isn't dead even, injectors can go off over time as well, with the turbos overboosting if you didn't have upgraded fuel system there could have possibly been a bit of leaning out - stock triggering is often a bit unreliable by this age too.  Basically its an old engine and a few things could have been going on, and you won't know how much work is needed until the engine is apart.

      I'm just shocked there's a euro driver on our roads who is thinking of other road users and not attempting to blind everyone. I wonder if Prank uses his indicator too...
