You guys are hopeless aye lol.

Well a quick update on a few things with the R. I got my second reconditioned airflow meter put in on Sat, about time. while I had that part of the intake system taken apart I decided now is a good time to strip the pod filter baskets down and clean the elements. Um they ARE suppose to be green but were more or less black. After a bit of cleaning, 30mins worth I've gotten nearly 95% of the color back. Put it all in and guess what? Can you say more power wooohooo.
redynoed the car and made 265.8 kw (356hp) at 1.2kg or 17.3psi of boost. Torque when up as well and it comes on quicker and sustains it better.

Lesson learnt. Clean the air elements more often ya lazy bugger!

Wouldnt the ECU have something to do with it? Id say by 2007, most cars would have that anyway?

Almost everything with the powertrain is run by the ecu. Therefor, there will probably be no fuse to pull..

If Nissan were to do something like that with the engine, one way of defeating it would be to go with a stand-alone ems. Although, I don't know of an ems that could control something like that.. :confused:
 
Well I'm guessing that the ECU would give a shutdown signal so if you swap in an aftermarket ems (motec!) that doesn't controll that, it will never give the shut down signal so they'll never shut down....i guess.... Anyway I'm sure someone out there will figure it out...I atleast want a disable switch or something...

:lol: razor thats kinda common sense lol. Mine are cleaned every 3 months even though you don't really need to. :D

Actually the ATTESSA system is a stand alone unit which communicates with various sensors to control the fourwheel drive. The same with the HICAS both of which in the R23, R33, & R34 were located under the rear partial shelf in the boot (trunk).
 
And to only further comment you can pull one of two fuses to get them into 2wd mode but on the R33 and R34 the clutch packs which engage during 4wd use are pre-loaded and over heat if the fuse is pulled. Only the R32 were not pre-loaded.
 
I am a huge Nissan Skyline fan. My most favorite at the time being would either be an R30 or R31, because I might be in possession of one soon. I plan on using the RB25DET in it with a manual tranny out of an R34 for the 6 speed. It will only be 2wd though. I do plan on upgrading the hubs to newer models as well, though.
 
There are quite a few different GETRAG boxes but yes one of them will bolt up just fine. Though honestly for the price of it, the R33 GTS25t box is a damn sight cheaper not to mention you can get an OSGiken gearset for it making strong enough to handle 800hp easy.
 
I was talking to a guy at the Aussie V8's at Pukekohe a few weeks ago. He mentioned the holden straight 6 (the nissan designed one) with the rb26dett head bolted on the top, custom exhaust and inlet manifolds and you've got an rb30dett.

That ever been thought of before? I know of the RPS team with their R31 3.0 litre block and whatever head it was, but the holden block?

Didn't know that. Thanks a bunch for the info. It is time again, for me to do my research. :D

Yep has many times. It has been done quite a few times in Japan. Here in NZ though the popular combo is that block with an RB25DET head on it. The main reason for the RB25 head is it much cheaper to begin with. There are a couple of R33 GTS25-t's with that block and Rb26 head combinations though. It produces a lot of torque due to the displacement.

Keep in mind though that block isn't very strong and the support cradle is much smaller than the on in the RB26 block.
 
I swa both an R32 GTR and R33 GTR yesterday during my errands.

Wish I could've seen an R34 GTR, but I doubt finding something like that in South Auckland :lol:

Don't get greedy, be thankful they even sell Skylines in your country :lol: If I ever saw one on the street I'd probably piss my pants, considering I've never seen one in RL :(

You would have to go to a track or show to see em becasue they can't be driven in canada.

Without having to follow your link that is correct. There is a wee tiny loop hole in the Canadian import laws which allows "Classic" cars to be exempt from meeting certain criteria for importation.

As far as seeing "skylines" gee on any given day of travels I can see up to 30 but on average about what cobra boy has posted.

As far as an R34 GTR there is a few here, how many I don't know for sure. In my NZUPI club we have a 2000 Vspec in Bayside Blue, and a 1999 Silver non-vspec in it. I've seen 6 different ones thus far so there are at least 6.

Given outside Japan New Zealand has the highest concintration of Skylines in the world. I had done a check a few years ago and there were over 31,700 Skylines roaming our streets from the R30-R34 skylines.

I said the powertrain, not the drivetrain. :lol:

ah yes you did, but you are still wrong. The only thing the ECU controls in the powertrain is the ignition, fuel maps, and boost to 1.0 bar. The only difference between the R32,R33 and the R34 was the variable boost control if you had the centre display option. Without that the boost is still controlled by a small solinoid mounted to the right hand strut tower.

The "VVT" does not in anyway shap or form alter the cams in their opening and closing of the valves, it mearly shifts the ignition timing around, again this is nothing more than a different ignition and fuel map. From memory the R32, R33 had two sets of maps and the R34 had 3 sets of maps for fuel and ignition.

So how does it control most all of the powertrain? This isn't anymore than most any other car since 1990 other than the boost control.

This displacement on deman thing must be something a bloody magazine has drummed up. I've yet to hear any official word on yet. Has anyone got an viable information on this other than something like motor trend?
 
So your telling me a fuse will control the opening and closing of 2 cylinders, air-fuel compensation, and timing? - SkylineGTR_guy :lol:

I stand by my statement. The ecu handles almost every aspect of the motor. The air-fuel/timing maps are the motor. Without them, you have nothing.
 
Where did Skylineguy get this information?

Either way as mentioned it only handles currently ignition and fuel maps as far as powertrain.
 
OMFG! MTV gave away an R-34....Some 16 year old girl form Rhode Island won it.....I bet she didn't even know what the hell a skyline was. damn B*tch.

I mean sure It's ugly as hell but nothing a new kit and coat of paint won't fix....

:lol: here is what Sean Morris said:
You should have heard how much crap I gave Craig over the rims . He wanted some rims "just to roll around on" .
And they ended up staying..... oh no....

Now I have to go on anti-depressants....
this sums up my feelings "If I had known Mtv was giving away an R34 I woiuld have dropped out of school and quit my job so I could sit home watching TRL all day with the phone in my hand. I'm going to go hang myself in my basement with the thought of some dumb ***** owning that car. Guaranteed she wont even bother trying to drive it. It will just sit in her driveway until she sells it..."Why is the steering wheel on the wrong side? I cant drive stick!"
****!!!!! "

as for the info i found, it was on GTR.CO.UK at this point I thinks it's just speculation....Anyway teh way that DOD works is that the cylinders keep moving but the feul supply is cut off, thus saving gas.
 
OK GOOD NEWS!

According to Sean Morris:
Nope doesnt still have its balls...... they are in a box sitting beside the lift...I put the twin turbo setup back on the car.
The ATS clutch is sitting behind my desk.......
All the good parts are off the car waiting to go on Wasabi...

Wasabi is the next skyline project.
 
WOOT:

Congratulations to Nissan who managed to get a triple victory at Suzuka on Round 8 of the JGTC. This race was especially important because it will mark an end to the legendary Skyline GT-Rs Japanese GT racing career where the car, could arguably, have been said to be born.
-Motoyama-Krumm has won the Driver's Championship for the GT500 in their Skyline GT-R
-NISMO has won the Team Championship for the GT500 with the Skyline GT-R
-Kino****a-Yanagida has won the Driver's Championship for the GT300 in their Fairlady Z
Here's a rundown:
The Calsonic Skyline GT-R managed to win round 8 of the GT500 JGTC. More importantly, the Xanavi NISMO Skyline GT-R came in 3rd and Esso Supra in 7th. After Round 7 Wakisaka-Iida's Esso Supra was leading the series with 6-points, with Motoyama-Krumm's NISMO Skyline GT-R in second, with their third place finish in round 8, NISMO not only was able to get a come from behind victory for the Driver's Championship they also managed a win in the Team Championship.
On a side note: This was also the last race for famed racer Keiichi Tsuchiya, aka "Drift King", many of you might know him from his appreances on all those OPTION videos and he is also considered the father of drifting's popularity in Japan. In his last race he managed to finish 2nd in his ARTA NSX, ahead of Motoyama-Krumm, and sandwiched between two GT-Rs.
 
Cadilac tried that same system a number of years ago with the 8-6-4 V8. while it was sort of successful it was also very damaging to the engine. They had a number of engine failures due to small amounts of fuel leakage which cause a very band lean burn. They also tried without success in cutting the ignition but again found detination issues so scrapped the idea totally after three years.

It would be a huge step backwards. If you want performance you have to sacrafice economy.

i also wouldn't believe anything you read of forums or websites unless it is right from Nissan on this.

As I was saying I DONT WANT IT! :lol:

Yeah I know cadillac tried that before, but I think that either GM or FORD has done it successfully, I guess they were going to use it on SUV's.
