All Japanese import cars run rich mate, my 33 GTS always has a strong smell of unburnt petrol becasue it is tuned for the higher RON japanese fuel; we have a lower octane fuel here so it runs rich.

if its something that concerns you a lot, you can buy a programmable ECU and lean out the mixture a bit. should improve efficiency.

no, that shouldnt be the case. A simple test to see if you have a fuel leak is when u take off ur fuel filler cap near empty you should get a PHSSST noise... I dont get it in mine and I get a fuel smell coming from the fuel cap. Possible breather hoses have perished I just havnt had time to take all the shit off and find out how to get to it. Anyone know an easy way??

      Putting r32 coupe tail lights on a r32 sedan

      By mattyve · Posted

      Hi fellow SAU members, I want to put coupe tail lights on my R32 sedan. I have been told it was as easy as changing the boot lid and the tail lights and possibly the rear bar. I have since found out that this is incorrect after buying the lights and boot. The coupe boot dosnt allow the boot to oprn on a sedan and the tail lights won't fit either. Has anyone done this or seen it done and could help me out with some guidance or instructions to get it done.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Interesting that it has 2 to the USB stick. Are the ones to the USB stick different? Or labelled anything at all? Telstra 4G is Band 28 is the long range one you want, it's 700mHz. I'm trying to do some reading on the Cel-Fi stuff, but I can't find any decent info online that makes me feel comfortable being able to work out the sort of antennas we could get away to swapping it over to. The antennas I'm starting to do some stuff with at work, are a transparent antenna. They're designed to stick onto the window. Which means you wouldn't even have the antenna outside the car. Volkswagen have just started using the exact same types of antennas on some of their new cars (And from the same antenna manufacturer). But, RF stuff is a bit of a dark art some days, and getting it wrong in your car could make for a terrible waste of money trying to swap antennas :S

      What do you do with all the spares?

      I'm not going to lie Duncan, Saturday and Sunday were pretty rough days. The sort of work I was doing would previously have ended up with me spending about an hour and a half chatting with Neil. Firstly about something I had a question about, and then both of us rambling off on tangents.  I think how Neil did things, and his attitude to getting it done is helping me in part to get this stuff done. Then I can actually do the things I enjoy more easily
