Turbo lol. Ive gone with a rb26dett for the 33 gtst. Cbf for the head aches of having someone elses thrashed motor lol. Ill see what i hit on the dyno and post pics here. Thanks for all the help guys 

Umm yeah, that's like saying you hate guns then buying an AK-47.

Boggles my mind how people think the 26 is much of an upgrade over the 25. Older engine design with more flaws; GTR taxed parts and less availability; more prone to catastrophic failure...all for a negligible increase in displacement and a different soundtrack.

Don't forget them all being thrashed.

At least the RB25DET has a better chance of being less thrashed, especially if it's from an auto car (e.g. Stagea).

And that the newest engine you'll get is already 15 years old, a lot if people dont even realise that some of our favourite cars like the r32 gtr are already 27 ish years old!!!

God damn dinosaurs

Constantly trips me out that my R33 daily is older now than VH Commodores were when I first got my licence...I thought VNs were old shitters back then lol (they were)

Car is running perfect now. No issues st all besides having stock power. Have had a long think about it and came to the thought of just keeping the car stock and healthy. Also i have decided i would like to get a s15, evo7, and/or supra for a weekend car and keep the skyline as my daily.

This might sound stupid but if your burning through lots of oil check your PCV valve is working correctly

I’ve recently gone through a similar exercise with my Dads landcruiser which was using about a litre per 1000km

It’s done 305,000kms so we thought it was just worn rings. However I decided to pull out the PCV valve to check it, and it was stuck open. The vacuum hose going to it had split, so it didn’t have enough vacuum to open and close it and it got stuck

Cleaned it out with some solvent, put a new hose on and it’s using bugger all oil now, running sweet

    • The two diagrams are equivalent. The R32 one is just one sheet out of about 3 showing everything in the whole car all at once. And without knowing the functionality that occurs in the modules, they are both equally opaque.
    • 8v - 2.48ms 9v - 2.15ms 10v - 1.74ms 11v - 1.41ms 12v - 1.15ms 13v - 0.99ms 14v - 0.89ms 15v - 0.82ms 16v - 0.81ms I'm running these values on my RB20 Neo with 570cc Denso R35 stock jets and it's great. Also bought a set for my Legnum VR4, love these injectors!
    • Thanks for your reply,  Those blue/green wires running to the actuator aren't attached to anything, so I'm not sure how the central locking is still working. I will have to take a good look tomorrow, I don't have the car with me. After googling it seems like a pretty common aftermarket actuator which even uses the same green/blue wires the immobiliser required. i'll test everything tomorrow and if it's working i'll melt the solder, strip it, resolder and neaten it all up with some heat shrink. I don't have to understand it if it works hahaha I just don't want a fire/ short circuit. That R32 diagram looks more like a continuity chart? Can you make sense of this form the R34 manual? 10V is probably due to very flat battery, i'll recheck as well tomorrow, I did have to jump start it haha. Thanks again!  
    • So, COM doesn't mean comms. It means common. What common itself means will depend on the type of device. For a two directional actuator (ie, one that can push and pull on the same output rod) then the common will typically just be the earth connection. There will be at least 2 other wires. If you put 12V on one of the other wires, then the actuator will push. On the other 12V wire, it will pull. Can't quite make out what is going on with the wiring of your actuator. It appears to have several wires at the actuator plug, but there only appears to be 2 wires where its loom approaches the door control module, with at least one of the others cut off. I don't know these actuators off by heart. I'd have to look at a wiring diagram for one before knowing what the wires were about, and that's despite me having to replace one in my car not all that long ago. Just not interesting enough to have dedicated memory set aside for trivia like that any more. That actuator is an aftermarket one, not the original one, which probably died and was replaced. That might require some sort of bodge job on wiring to make it work. Although nothing should justify the bodginess of the bodge job done. As to the soldering job on the door module's loom plug. Ahhahhahaha. Yes, very nasty. Again, I cant tell you what any of those wires do. You'd need to study the R34 wiring diagram (if you can find one that shows the door module). I don't think I have any. I'd have to study the R32 diagram to start to understand what mine is doing, and again, even though I've had a problem with mine for the last 25 years (where it locks the passenger door when the driver's window reaches top or bottom of travel) I'm just not interested enough to try to to work it out. So long as it's not burning down, it's fine with me. Here's the R32 GTR diagram, which, confusingly, has rear door lock actuators and window motors on it!! As you can see, unless you understand the functions of the door lock timer and the power window amplifier, you'll never be able to work out how it works just from the diagram. I don't imagine that the R34 one is any better. Hopefully an R34 aware bod can help. FWIW, the two wires that are cut and joined look like they are both power supply - so hopefully it is not fatal to join them. The 10V you measured on the cut off free end of one of them is concerning. You'd expect 12V, and it might be the reason for the bodge job joining them together.
