Judging by the amount of lock-up smoke, your ABS isn't so AB.....

You didn't get a video? but guess who did!!

ya bastard, clicked it then quickly closed the browser about a milisecond before that familiar tune hit my ears..dont remind me about the near miss man, heart in mouth stuff, very lucky the oncoming lane was nice and empty.

Pride swallowed.

No worries, here you go... got a few of you in there but virtually all wind noise until Paul turns up. Don't think Nick had enough room to give it too much

nice video matt, looks like u took it while driving too lol, so pretty impressive considering. Was good fun coming down the freeway with so many skylines, if i hadnt been stressing so much about how much petrol i had left i might have enjoyed it more!

Many thanks to you for urging me to do a Drivers' Briefing at Casula.

Next time you'll do it! And somewhere in your speech, you must use the phrase, "...& don't do what I did last time"

hehe...

Matt - great video manoeuvre

One eye one the road

One eye on the rear vision mirror

One eye on the overtaking car

...umm hang on...!

Unfortunate that I missed out! Haven't been on SAU too regularly lately. Would have gone otherwise if I had known about it. Could have got the day off work. Haha. Looked like a nice turnout!

Actually stopped by Pizzas in the Mist before I tackled the Pass last night. Didn't see Josh though. Lol.

Definitely will make it to the next one... if there is one.

    • The powder coating came in at $250 EACH. The TRX rims got a coat of clearcoat on the outside only.    
    • Bit wet, but YUMMY
    • Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.
    • It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....
    • Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
