Oh yeah and another way of seeing the whole 3.9 ltr thing is by not descibing the 3 chambers as combustion chambers themselves. The first section where air is input should be described as an inlet chamber or inlet storage (like a capacitor, it doesnt use its contents, just holds it while other processes are being done) chamber as no combustion happens there. The second chamber should be descirbed as the only combustion chamber, combusting 1.3l of contents and finally the last chamber should be described as the exhaust outlet chamber. Alot of people base 3.9l by saying that all 3 chambers combined are combustion chambers. What if the inlet chamber was 5 x the size (3.25l ) and the combustion chamber only extracted (0.65l) per combustion (so not using the other 2.6l at all until the next phase). By gary's calculations that would be a 9.1l. What I am trying to illustrate is why the combustion chamber should be the only thing measured.

Mr Skyline Man - i will repost something just for you. Let’s sum this up in a simple chart to visually explain how this works: 2 stroke engine (up, down) – 1 complete crankshaft revolution. 4 stroke engine (up, down, up, down) – 2 complete crankshaft revolutions. 6 stroke (rotary) engine (up, down, up, down, up, down) – 3 complete crankshaft (eccentric shaft) revolutions. If its a 2 stroke engine then it only expells 1.3l. If its a 3.9l then its a 6 stroke. So one theory will cancel out the other, its either 2 stroke 1.3l or a 3.9l 6 stroke. As it is quite obvious that its not logical for it to be a 6 stroke and its perfectly plausable to be a 2 stroke then it has to be a 1.3l. If you want to look at it from the rotor's perspective rather than the e-shaft then you need to think of one rotor being one piston that is able to produce 3 operations at once and able to complete three combustion cylces in one rotor revolution.

Like i said before, my hicas stopped and my powersteering intermitantly cut out. The problem was a loose earth wire. It would be nice if everyone that registered their problems replied back with the solution (if they got it fixed) to their problems so others can use the information, rather than just spit out a heap of issues.

I beleive the car is really unique. Simply by the fact that it was tampered by Nismo makes it special. The badges and the decal's are made and applied by Nissan. Just because it wasn't brought into production does not mean the car is a failure. Several factors would have gone into that like; it's too costly or the series 2 is out now, lets work on that one instead etc. There was some wierd red VL commodore that Peter Brock made one of and it never went to production - I am sure that car is worth heaps!

Rotor spins at 3000RPM = Yes, no body argues that and was settled a very long time ago. Flows 3.9 litres...? = It sucks and spits out 3.9l every revolution of the rotory but only spits out 1.3l every combustion cycle

It seems the drivers side is alot different to the passanger side though. Fixed mine, its amazing how dirty those points has become. Works like new now! Cheers.

^ Thats not a bad offer.

Im a gibli man. Bring on the leather driving gloves. Still nice though.

I think this guy has a thread in the forced induction section with his time slip and details.

You bastard, you ate all the pizza.

Thats if you believe that 3 combustions of a rotor is a complete cycle. Think about one combustion from each rotor is one cylce. Just becuase its not a full rotation from the rotor doesn't mean that it is not a full combustion cycle. I have a feeling your not going to try and understand that simply by the way that you write. You sound like a person who will view only what he beleives and refuse to see logic in any other perception no matter the logic. Please read the rest of the thread before we do the freaking circus thing again.

I have oil temp and oil pressure. But if I had to choose one i would choose oil pressure.

Only this year round it should actually involve pizza.

I also think our buddy 'skyline man' needs to read the rest of the thread too. Many arguments from other perspectives outside of Gary's theories are illustrated and well supported.

Is yours located before or after the oil cooler?

Only drove it for 20 mins so I suppose it may not have circlulated properly. Will try and go for a longer drive this w/e and see what happens.

Hey guys, Just installed an oil temp guage in my car and was wondering if my oil temp is accurate. Apparenltly optimum oil temperature is supposed to be between 80 and 90 degrees before losing lubricating properties. The reason why I ask this question is because my guage barely goes past 60 degrees on the gauge. It may have something to do with its location which might be just after my oil cooler, I have to do a more thorough investigation to be sure of this though. Its not that simple because it runs through splitters and an oil thermostat...

Dont worry, I did that too. When I was istalling some gauges I forgot to plug them back in and I got the hot air problem. Plugged it back in the next day when it finally occured to me and 'wooshka', feel that sweet cold air breeze.

WD40 is correct, that is a really nice spot with plenty of room. + the locals would be used to us since the putty run.

+1 for BBQ, -1 for fishing. I dont have the patience, plus if we are eating what we catch then I hope people have an appetite for toad fish. And if 80 people come, could you imagine 80 rods casting next to one another on a windy day....that sounds hilarious, make that +1 to fishing.

wasn't there one with him behind a giant camera?

Hey I voted no. I just heard that someone didn't like it and thought it would be funny to make a poll.

Some people are disturbed by seeing this insane clown everyday. Some people like it. Should he change it?

what does it make you wonder?

Maybe this needs to be a poll? I like BBQ's and perhaps a shortish cruise (1hr each way). Alot of people come to them because not everyone can drive proffesionally and not everyone can afford to break their cars at track and skid events...or have a car setup for it. However BBQ's and cruises on the other hand have the biggest turn out because all sorts of drivers turn up, young, old, experienced, inexperienced etc.
