Would love to but engine already built/running and tuned. cost too much to take engine apart to add cams now.

next time will get cams/ light weight pulleys for better accelaration. Going to get water/meth kit end of year and air intake for GTR then aim for 330awkw as now have 310. Never going to race the car just a daily driver amd 330 would be more than enough. I just get jealous reading everyone else's projects with 400+awkw and start to think is it enough....

kmart has some if im not mistaken
Strongly doubt it. Methanol is NASTY. They probably have Methylated Spirits (Ethanol denatured with Methanol)

(Methanol in the methylated spirits is what ultimately causes blindness in alcoholics)

My misses has cracked it about spending money on cars so no water/meth kit for her supra. Still getting FMIC/SAFC/Air intake box/EBC/pipe through cat for supra.Will tune for 16psi and around 250rwkw. (She agrees to that)My next step will be install the water/meth kit and pon cams for GTR and go for 350awkw. Should be a very complete package then. Will do this for next summer.

P.S she is still going to paint her car blue and get GT-spoiler and then Lambo door kit and finally blue/black leather trim. This is ok according to her as getting the money from selling her FTO. If you ask me money could be better spent on engine mods, but then again do I really want her to be as fast as me.

Hey Graeme - off topic - but what are the chances we can get a day out at Atwood one day?? :D

We always have to race that short track as part of the Dutton Rally and I must say I find it one of the most fun events of the whole rally.

Back at work Tuesday will make some calls to our driving school who run it and find out what we need to arrange it. We never use it on weekends to my knowledge so should be possible. Will let you know then.

Also if I get cams what size are best 260 or 264? Is there much price difference and where is good cheap place to buy them?

      Left & Right Window Regulators for 2013 Skyline V36 Coupe

      Both windows operate normally while the engine is running but start to sag as soon as I switch off.  Does anyone know of reasonably priced replacements or other brands that will fit?

      Actually PowerFC is probably the easiest to get basic data from, it comes with a hand controller and display so you don't need to remember to pack a laptop every time you drive. It also has a PC based viewing/logging option if required. Nissan used consult on these because back in the mid 80s, ODB was just a glint in a standard's body's eyes.  They switched to OBD shape around 2000 (my 2001 Cima had OBD shaped but not OBD compliant port) With the standard ECU there is a cable and software available to give basic data too, I think it is called Nissan Data Scan or s

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Given by the sheer number of questions about offset, absolutely not. If you had the information formatted this way: Space from R34 GTT hub to outer arch = 100mm Space from R34 GTT inner hub to nearest suspension arm = 90mm. (making this up) Buying a wheel that was advertised as Enkei RPZ5 Diameter 18in Width 9 Distance to arch = 84mm Distance to suspension arm = 76mm 100% of people would know instantly if it fits. They would absolutely also know instantly how close it fits too, and no questions would need to be asked. You would know you would have 16mm from the guard and 14mm from the suspension arm.

      Ah ok, for example for the apexi ecu I heard that it's pretty limited with the information it can give you. Also not sure why Nissan used the consult port over the obd2, what the idea there was.

      Diagnosing with and without is mostly the same. You need to know, as Duncan asked, and what conditions. Car hot, cold, idling, driving, if while driving what rpms, is when you're varying, or is it when held constant.   From there it's understanding what can be causing it. Starting with pretending all of the sensors are correct. Which means if it's going rich, why would it be thinking more air is going in than it is, and under what conditions. So things like if only when under boost, it could be be a loose intake piping joint. It's just understanding the system, and understanding when/how the problem occurs, and then if it's only occuring in specific scenarios, what can be causing it.   ECU specifically, if it's aftermarket, it'll have software you can use, for the Skylines on factory ECU, there is Nissan Consult you can use. Most ECUs have a way to get data from them.
