hey guys, something that i've been noticing recently is that driving my 32 GTR around before the water temp is at operating temp, the car runs like it has a heap of timing pulled out of it..
i only drive the thing once a week if that, so it's hard to remember if it always did it, or if it used to do it a little bit but it's more prevalent now or what the story is..
i'm not talking about lack of power at full revs or even on boost, but to even get the car moving upto traffic speed (ie.60-70kph) it seems to need an added 40% throttle and almost needing to get it onto boost ..then after 5minutes (once the needle on the water temp guage gets to 1/3 -- just below where operating temp would be) it's like the computer chucks in 8deg of timing and it picks up 40-50% more power magically
i've also notice that at pre-operating temp the car @ idle / clutch in, the vacuum/boost guage doesn't drop as much, then once upto proper temp the thing will go deeper into vac at idle
just wanna know what the story is, if it's normal or not
cheers
edit:
the car has stocky computer.. just has a pipe, intake pods, more boost.
also had to resolder the afm's a little while ago cos of the "surging" issue that i've read a few people have gotten
