Hey guys i have recently purchased a nissan skyline 350gt v35 2004 coupe and i love the darn thing, just a few noob questions i have if you could assist me it would be grealty appreciated!

first thing is i have 2 original sets of keys though the central locking buttons and boot release doe not seem to work and is bothering me quite abit, just need some hints/tips before i go and take it for further investigations.

the lock and unlock buttons seem to work fine when i open the doors manually with the key however the buttons on my remote do not work and i have replaced new batteries in both! please help with suggestions/advice

also the door lock sitwch on the drivers side works fine when locking unlocking however when i press to lock only the passenger side locks but not the drivers side and when i unlock both unlock fine....please help with suggestions/advice

also i am located in sydney so if anyone could advise me on where or who can install a radio expander for my car? or where i can purchase one and go to get installed? also how much this would cost me?

also seeing as i dont know much about the car myself when the vdc off is displayed on the speedo it means it is off right? lol just want to set things straight, also when i start the car the "slip" button lights up for a split second and when i am fanging the car the slip display lights up for a split second as well, advice please

i dont have a reputable mechanic i go to and i want to get my car serviced on a regular basis, any suggestions on mechanics in sydney (preferrably south west sydney) or garages that work on these types of cars in particular who know there stuff?

and lastly for now, what oils/spark plugs am i looking at to replace? my car is a 6spd and has done "36k" kms lol well who knows what it is ay

thanks heaps for your help/advice/input....

    • Hey all,   I’ve got an RB25 with a trigger kit that includes a crank wheel, and I’ve hit a wall trying to sort a timing belt tracking issue. The belt either rides right on the edge of the cam/crank pulleys or walks slightly forward once the engine starts. It tracks okay-ish for a moment, then creeps right to the edge—and honestly, it’s stressing me out.   I’ve spent hours removing and reinstalling the belt, double-checking everything:   Tensioner setup is good, checked multiple times Idler pulley and washers are all in the correct places Followed the RB25 timing procedure step-by-step     The only thing I changed was the rear crank washer—I swapped the OEM one for a Neato version, and it made things worse. The belt now sits even more forward than before. I’m beginning to think the crank trigger wheel itself (from the trigger kit) is the issue—poor design or slightly off dimensions.   What’s strange is that with the previous belt setup, it actually ran fine for a couple of years—around 4,000 to 5,000 miles, even with hard driving and high RPMs. But even then, the belt was always riding right on the edge, and I know that’s not ideal or safe long term.   At this point, I’m debating whether to:   Machine a few mm off the crank trigger wheel to bring it back in line, or Replace it entirely with a better-designed unit     Only thing is, I already have the Cherry Hall sensors, bracket, etc.—I just want to replace the wheel only, not the entire kit. Anyone know a brand or supplier that sells just the crank trigger wheel on its own?   Would really appreciate any feedback—especially from anyone who’s run into this exact issue and found a reliable fix.   Thanks in advance.
    • Hi...a little refresh. Is Nistune gonna be enough to run BoV? Or do i need some proper ECU? 
    • Yep that's pretty much what I want to see. Racecars that look and sound like the Group A but with newer tech underneath to make them faster and safer. I'm sure there's enough VK-to-VN commodore, E30 BMWs and Foxbody mustangs shells around to make up a decent number of cars with hopefully a couple of sierras, rx7 and R31s in there too. 
    • Contact Jessestreeter.com/Skevas Racing/JustJap for a new r34 rb gearbox or go a cd00# conversion. No point playing with unknown condition gearboxes.
    • Such a shame places like Amaroo Park have been redeveloped, smaller tracks always make for good racing. Cheers for sharing @PranK there's some good Lakeside video's too. Its so hard with older the cars as parts are so rare and everything was made for a particular chassis at that point in time. Even the V8 Supercar Blueprint era cars are all different between each chassis within a team as they learnt things and made improvements. The COTF cars between each Chassis builder is different too especially motor/oil systems/intakes. The Group A stuff is worth so much too especially chassis with good history. The only way to do it would be composite panels and similar engine drivelines to the original cars. Ford sierra running Focus RS driveline, Commodore running a short stroke LS/LT or a Falcon with coyote and a H Pattern dog box. Could use a standard ecu across all models with a Torque Map and DBW for parity which is not even used in Supercars currently. Hell a TCM is almost a full chassis car these days and the suspension is not even close to standard style in the front running cars.
