r/SkyLine

I have an R 34 GT and I would like for it to sound better. I don’t know where to go with the exhaust system. Please help.

I’m writing because my ex partner bought a skyline R33 from a seller in Melbourne, $25k. He was told that it just needs a few fixes to be roadworthy, but 6 months later he was told it’s irrepairable.

He wasn’t told about the chassis being damaged, and when he first found out 4-5 months ago he took it on the chin and said he will get it fixed, that it’s okay and he’s learning. He worked his ass off to get the car, like most people do, but he had just finished 6 whole years of looking after me full time when I fell into bad mental health and agoraphobia after my parents died.

I met him when I was 15, he was 16, on CSGO. We were long distance, I was in Tasmania, he was in Victoria. When I turned 17 my dad was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and my whole life turned upside down. I had no choice but to leave my friends and siblings behind and move in with him and his family.

When I tell you he was the most patient kid with me, I mean it. My mental health spiral wasn’t easy for either of us but he suffered just as much as me, if not more. I am getting better but I’m disabled and can’t work a normal job- so I’m starting my own business and he still supports me in every way while I do it. I am heartbroken for him.

This car wasn’t just a purchase goal, it was symbolic to the 6-7 years of mental health struggles we both faced. He cooked, cleaned, bathed me, took me to all my appointments, sat with me at hospital when I was trying to give up. He fell into his own spiral, which makes sense considering how much he was carrying for the both of us. He told me a year ago that he spent many nights in his deceased grandfathers car… literally contemplating his exit. While I dealt with those feelings my whole teen life, he was 24 telling me this and it felt heavier than anything I have ever experienced. He wanted to die.

I don’t know what exactly I am doing by posting this. I don’t know any of you and you all don’t know me. I’m just hoping someone has advice? The guys at the repair shop are so sweet and they really didnt want to tell him. It took them 3 days to call him and tell him the news about his car. I just got off the phone with him too, and he said to me “I’ll just take this as another life lesson”. 😭

What do I do to help… is there a legal route? I can offer artwork commissions in exchange for money, so if anyone’s interested please message me. All funds will go to him. I don’t know what else to do.

Hello Ladies and gentlemen, I want to buy a skyline I'm in the U.S Specifically in Maryland I'm trying to get a Automatic, I due wish I could get a Manual but due to my left foot Injury I can't really drive one only automatics or semi automatic which I usually go for now unfortunately l.

Anyone know what websites are good to buy one? I am looking more into the sedans, Turbo or not.

Anyone got good suggestions comment them thanks 🙏 fellas.

•This is also my first time trying to get one also

Hi All,

I have an issue with my ATTESA System on my BNR32. I've been hunting this issue for years, but with very little success, so am hoping to find someone with a knowledge of this system.

What's happening is that at motorway speeds (60mph+), only on part throttle (1/4 throttle) the car is lurching, vibrating and bucking. When I'm off throttle, it's very smooth, when I put my foot down it's smooth.

When I remove the fuse to make it RWD only, it's completely smooth.

I can see on the torque split in the instrument binnacle that the car is blipping torque to the front wheels, as the needle jumps. Presumably, this is what's creating the lurching.

The engine, prop shaft, rear diff and gearbox are very solid.

I've tried to learn about the system, but I've never really found anyone who's had a similar experience. Most of my driving is low speed around town, so it doesn't normally impact me.

So here's where I'm at...

I understand that the torque split gauge in the binnacle isn't telling me what's happening at the wheels, but is actually telling me what signal is being sent by the ATTESA ECU? If that's the case, and I'm understanding it correctly, root cause is unlikely to be a hardware issue.

In terms of sensor inputs to the ATTESA ECU, my understanding is that it sends power to the front wheels, based on G sensor, rear wheel ABS sensor and TPS readings. Please correct me if I'm wrong here, but these seem to be the inputs which may be most likely to cause this?

I can rule out G sensor, because the system operates ok at low speeds and full throttle. (Or maybe the lurching is still happening, but less noticeable at lower speed?).

I've replaced the TPS recently, and it's functioning ok, so I believe it's unlikely to be causing this problem.

That leaves me with ABS sensors on the rear wheels, next to the diff, or potentially an issue with the ECU itself.

As I say, this has been going on for years, and I've never managed to get to the bottom of it, so would really appreciate any help or guidance from anybody who knows the system well. Even if you can tell me if I'm completely barking up the wrong tree... I really don't want to start firing a parts cannon at it, but I'm concerned that the vibration and bucking will create problems with the hardware.

Thanks in advance.
