not sure what the point of this post is or whether it was made in jest towards more of the knowledgable members of this forum but thanks for your input anyway. -
So I Spun Out Again - Wtf Is Going On?
tripsteady replied to tripsteady's topic in General Automotive Discussion
this.i dont see how having more rubber on the ground can be detrimental to grip as long as the tyre does channel water away appropriately(which the ziex doesnt) Its not about me not liking the Ziex , its the fact that time and time again they have been proven to be the worst wet weather tyre every produced. Like I said "joe1458" good luck on your spinning out goals of 2013. in either case , having the ku31's with the same width has made a drastic difference.... -
Hey guys So my coils are causing serious misfiring problems and jerking at WOT in my r33 skyline gtst s2 Alternatives are either yellow jackets for $420 or Splitfires for $600 A bit out of my budget and have seen the Fuji Spark's for $250, has anyone had any experiences with them? Not looking to get more then 220rwkw out of this car. A bit wary of going cheap as the last time I took the cheap route with performance parts it bit me in the ass Link to said coilpack: Fuji Spark Coilpacks Thanks in advance for any long term experiences with these coils

okay ...understood , wasnt really looking at the fuel guage as an indicator since i wanted to see how many km's i would get per a certain Ltr of petrol and was told that while the fuel guage was useless , it did at least accurately display about 15km worth of normal driving when the low fuel light came on. I dont really care about the fuel level and all i wanted to see was how many km's my 19.62 LTRS of fuel gave me, I therefore thought x Ltrs = x KM would give me an approx of how many km's i am able to get per litre...that is all waiting for prices to go down before I fill all the way up(as we all know the prices vary differently dependant on the day of the week) -
300Km To A Tank... What The Hell? R33 Gts-T
tripsteady replied to tripsteady's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
Ok so filled $30 , noted it said 19.62 ltrs filled. Drove around and didnt hit positive boost at all(basically drove like a granny) Ive done 180km and the light has come on. to reiterate, mst of it was stop start driving with the occasional highway. i didnt fill it all the way up as i know the fuel gauge is deceiving(in any case needle rose to under the halfway mark with $30(19.62 litrs in from empty) , so i took note of the litres used and didnt really worry about the fuel tank until the light came on (verified that it can do 15km more once light is one until completely out). so in other words the most important info here is 19.62Ltrs = 180km of driving while driving in stop start traffic without hitting positive boost. Should I be worried that something is up? reset my ecu today , will fill up again and see how it goes. -

ziexs arent fine. they are terrible , and this has been proven time and time again among hundreds if not thousands who where unfortunate enough to buy those tyres. good luck with your crashing into $hit goals of 2013 -

thanks for all the tips although certainly did nnot appreciate being called an idiot or the air of superiority in which it was said. I was under the impression that the skyline had a 65L tank , yes I know the maths doest make sense but i filled up until I couldnt hold the pump down anymore as it was flicking back up and according to the fuel guage it was all the way to the top(a few mm above full) assumed this was what the skyline could hold. I dont see the point in driving a skyline and having to coast everywhere and avoid boost however I have been keeping my eye on the boost guage to make sure I dont go above positive boost. Filled another $30 at 1.61 a litre , did another 120km and the tank is empty once again car takes about 15min on idle and about 3min while driving to come up to temp , only let it idle for about 2min before I drive though.others have suggested resetting my ecu and getting it tuned. WIll also note that my car is jerking at WOT because of the coilpacks , this couldnt be raising my fuel consumption as well could it? In any case I am planning on tuning it after I install the intercooler. -

tripsteady replied to tripsteady's topic in General Automotive Discussion
i know its ridiculous...i dont understand how they are still being sold ANYWHERE. fitted some ku31s , havnt had a chance to properly test them in the wet , but in the dry they are fantastic and in slight drizzle conditions they didnt slip at all, even on boost -
thank you! what does the M at the end of GTS25TM stand for?

litres used --> 65L Kmsdone 300 Stock ecu only engine mods are pod filter , stock boost , and 3inch exhaust straight through with gtr cat and 3inch hks front pipe stock boost is around 5spi before 3500 and 7psi after. Tank is 65Ltrs and it cost me $75 to fill up @ $1.51 for 98 octane -
Hey Guys I own a 1997 R33 GTST S2. Recently had a oppurtunity to fill up the tank and reset the km's Tank is now empty and Ive done 300km! That is terrible economy. I know its a skyline and i didnt buy it for its thriftiness of fuel but 300km? Ive heard people doing 450-500 on a tank , this seems to thirsty for me - Done the 100k service - Replaced fuel filter - Replaced o2 sensor - Havnt been flogging it What else could cause my economy to be this bad even after I have done the above?

Car Jerking At Wot After Exhaust Upgrade?
tripsteady replied to tripsteady's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
will certainly not be going WOT at all then. Guess I just have to bite the bullet and get yellow jackets now. -
Car Jerking At Wot After Exhaust Upgrade?
tripsteady replied to tripsteady's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
doesnt that mean im in fact running rich so theres no chance of detonation? in any case il avoid going WOT until I get the yellow jackets plugs are iridium and only 2000km old...however i mistakenly purchased the non turbo one. could this be contributing to it?
