Is it a Skyline's only meet/cruise? I can bring a mate with a Supra and perhaps a 180sx.

Pred: I was expecting a higher terminals speed than 95mph from your car. What was your highest MPH that night? The helmet dose block out a lot of noise you need. Particularly when shifting close to the rev limit. I hit my rev limiter numerous times in 1st and 2nd. Jet: Scared you'll run a 15, huh?

Congrats Pred! Nice time. Bet it got the heart pumping like mad, hey?

The O2 sensor is only used by the ECU during closed loop operation. Even with a faulty O2 sensor your fuel economy should only drop a bit. 300km to a tank is a significant drop. I doubt it'll be your O2 sensor. Could be a bad tune, fault spark plugs, a blocked/damaged cat.

I'll give the etchings a miss, but you I can come if you like

Yes, I'm stalking you.

Yeah, the 2JZ-GTE shits all over the RB26DETT. On a serious note, IMHO, it's a better engine.

Congrats!

One of my biggest peeves... Clutch's are measure on how much power they can hold. It's how much bloody TORQUE, dammit.

I've got an old Blitz. Originaly had it venting to atmo (trumpet and all). Car ran fine. Now its plumbed back. Car still running fine. No noticeable improvements, just a tiny bit quieter. I suspect I have a VERY STIFF spring. Even at 1.4-1.5 bar the bov will open with a loud woooosh then flutter after the initial piston opening up.

CanberraR33: I'm getting it done at Skyline Performance. Do all you guys have Unichips too? Shame Autotech doesn't have a 4wd dyno, they had to road tune my car last year. Don't really like the idea of someone else driving my car on 1.4 bar around highways.

CanberraR33: That's great news, I'll be getting work done to the car this Wed. Dump pipe, front pipe, flex pipe and a few other things. My current front pipe and flex pipe are battered and beaten.

Collie St, Fyshwick. What have you guys heard about Skyline Performance?

I've heard a few bad things about xxxx...PM me or something. I go to Autotech, Jake is pretty good and Peter is a good bloke.

To get what done, exactly?

I can't help it think of Terrance and Phillip and "Kroof dinner"

Does your blitz bov flutter?

Yeah, that would suit a skyline driver

Guys, Can anyone recommend an exhaust place to get a 3" cat? TIA

Liar! You know you want my Blitz!

Oh, and to answer your question... Fuel economy would be marginally improved. During closed loop, the O2 Sensor is used. Anything else, ie WOT, it's ignored by the ECU. As for Performance, as above.

As far as I've had it explained to me the factory ecu works as follows from the engine speed input and the air flow meter input the ECU calculates a pulse width that should give a stochiometric air:fuel ratio ie 14.7:1. The with that speed and air flow information it looks up a table which contains a number. That number is a multiplier for the pulse width. I do not know for certain, but I don't think that the multiplier can be less than one, ie acts to shorted the pulse width with should give an leaner mixture then 14.7:1. If you are running in closed loop mode, the ECU can run leaner, but anything over about 30% load/throttle and the ECU will not enter closed loop mode, ie the 02 sensor isn't even looked at most of the time.

Get a Whiteline Handling Kit. You can go faster Btw: The 6spd TT Supra last night. Not bad...doesn't feel fast due to its down low torquey nature. But it's fast. Kinda like Den's car. It's missing the big torque hit as boost comes on.

But yeah, with time you'll push the limit further and further. Anymore pics from the cruise yesterday?

Dude, it's a GTR. You shouldn't be trying to scare Excel's
