Well, yeah, because E85 isn't available everywhere and it has significant negative effects on the range of the car. It's great when you've got it everywhere you go. It's great for many racers (but not for others where pit stop refuelling time lost might be an issue). It's not great if the car is E85 only (because it can't be made to run safely on 98 if you've gone crazy with the compression + boost, etc), and you can't use flex tuning to get you by. E85 certainly made it easy to sidestep the hassles surrounding putting WMI onto a car, but only where any of the above are not application killers for you. If you don't have easy access to E85, or you have to drive across Australia, etc etc, then WMI is still your leading option if you want to push well past what 98 alone can handle. A 10L WMI reservoir will last nearly forever in many applications. Certainly more than a few tanks of fuel. Unless you're caning it on the track that is.

This means take it to a mechanic or auto-electrician and get him to do it. So you don't set the car on fire.

It's been working fine since WW2. Who is writing these papers?

17x9 BBS LM big brake clearance
GTSBoy replied to DaymoR32's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
Rebuild kits from eBay vendors, Amayama/Kudos/etc, brake shops (Midas etc)....and probably lots more. -
I think you're over-thinking/worrying about it. Whilst you can keep injecting water almost up until the point where the combustion is quenched out.....you really don't have to. You can get at least as much knock prevention/resistance/whatever you want to call it from WMI as from E85 without having to inject anywhere near enough water to cause the effects you're worried about. Whilst I agree that better control is better, the control that we have is certainly fit for purpose.

Doesn't sound like a problem.

What are you talking about? A kit especially for RBs that you don't have to do any thinking about? I mean, it's not as if the 3 or 4 different WI manufacturers don't already have kits that you could just drop directly onto any RB with only 3 brain cells functioning. It's really not that hard. And 10:1 CR with decent boost on 98 is no trouble, with decent attention to management and not grinding out all the quench pads, etc. Cams to help relieve some of the dynamic CR is always an option too.
-
Oh yeah, but while the compression was a bit low, it probably isn't low enough to cause rough running on its own. I mean, it might, but it's just as likely to not. Hence why I gave the laundry list. Many other things more likely to cause rough running than a cylinder down 15% or so.

I'm rather big on demotivational posters. Sometimes they make you think more than the overtly motivational stuff. Right now, I'm rocking this one.
-
Given the evidence of a significantly different cylinder health, of course it could be to blame. However, just about everything else on the car could be responsible. AFM, CAS, wiring and connectors for each, coil loom, dirty/dud injector and/or the injector loom. Low fuel pressure from failing pump, boost rag, blocked cat, burnt valve, chipped cam lobe, timing out, valve timing jumped a tooth.....do you want me to go on?

17x9 BBS LM big brake clearance
GTSBoy replied to DaymoR32's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
If those spokes don't curve back in towards the caliper any more as you go further out (radially), then you will be able to fit either the R32 GTR, R33 GTST or R34 GTT Sumitomo calipers (which are all basically the same dimensions, just spaced out radially via leg length differences) with a reasonable degree of certainty. If they do curve back, then as the caliper goes out radially, you will be at risk of using up all your clearance. R32 324mm Brembos are a more compact caliper than the Sumitomos, but obviously they are 22mm radially further out than the R32 GTSt calipers sit, so you will have to rely on measurement/trial there. 'Twere me, wanting big brakes for biggish power track work, then I'd be changing wheels. -
There are screws.

Because of the size (width) of the cone vs. the diameter of the thread. It's massively oversized.

Nah, he means a thottle controller to overcome the crappy pedal to plate mapping in the default ECU program. As a band-aid instead of actually fixing the ECU mapping directly.

How to check my R32 gtst fuel tank for rust/dirt
GTSBoy replied to LINK17's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
That depends entirely on how dirty the fuel going through it is. I've had my R32 for 20 years. Hmm. Maybe more. I have probably only changed the fuel filter a couple of times. The last time I can remember was when the engine conversion happened, which is about 8 years ago. -

If by "they are a bitch to get out" you mean it takes about 2 minutes, then yes. -
Smurfette R32 GTR build.
GTSBoy replied to khezz's topic in Members Cars, Project Overhauls & Restorations
I like it. I'm not normally a fan of colour flip paint, but that looks like a good choice for an R32. I think your choice of wheels is going to become critical to how it ends up looking. Something black would be an obvious choice, but I'm sure something in a metallic colour (not a shiny silver) will also work. -
How to check my R32 gtst fuel tank for rust/dirt
GTSBoy replied to LINK17's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
Fuel filter is above the HICAS solenoids in the engine bay. In front of / below the master cylinders. -

This is probably the first time that that has been clear. Sounds like it is f**ked. Throw it away, and buy an RB20E R33 Skyline.

The maps might well be different, but once you Nistune it (and you really should) you can put any image and any map in it you like. Auto, manual, Stagea, R34, etc.
