hey guys and gals,

A couple of my good friends were involved with very bad accidents on our WA roads recently but id hate to go into detail however there was serious damage to themselves and their pride and joy,their cars.

Always check your vehicles(e.g tires,) and (upgrade brakes sensibly if you have more HP).

For u ppl out there with a heavy foot but dont want to admit it,please slow down.I dont want anything to happen to any more of my friends, thanks

you are never in control of your cars

Yes most of you have seen those pictures of Matts Skyline (non member) i posted in Whoretown - he may have walked away with no scratches but it was a very serious accident theres not much left of the car - please we arent invincible - the horrible reality is that we may not kill ourselves but innocents that may just be in the wrong place at the wrong time. I know lately ive seen some pretty close calls with myself - one being a Gemini losing control in the wet weather and heading straight for me. So Aidwin has a point lets just put more thought into our driving.

There is indeed a time and a place for everything. Id like to say if you need to get it out of your system then go hit the track. But its a bit hard for some of us especially if you arent a member of a club or have a cams licence etc..

So with that in mind i'll say this. If you want to play up, make sure its at a time and place where no ones around, not just for minimizing the chances of getting caught but primarily to reduce the chance of you risking the lives of others.

And make sure your in the car alone, don't play up with passengers, it might be cool to show your mates how fast your ride is, but can you live with the guilt of losing them? If anyones head is on the block because of your stupidity, ensure its ONLY yours.

I have my time and my place, i suggest you find yours :D

Stay safe!

i think thats the wrong advice to give. people should learn how to control their cars to prevent thim from getting into trouble and possibly causing an accident.

know your car, know your driving limits and you will be able to minimise the risk of being in an accident (of course there are those which arent your fault but we have no control over that)

      Installing the fuel sender O ring in R34 GTT

      Ha! well, there's your problem!  Guess the last person in there didn't have great attention to detail....

      It seems like you guys want to behave like rabid dogs, rather than gentlemen... Knowing one has jumped in on a fellow comrades near done deal, and sniped it at the last second, how can one sleep at night?

      Installing the fuel sender O ring in R34 GTT

      Good news!!! Changed the O ring today and I’ve got the “pssshhhh” back when I open the fuel cap 😂🙌🏼🙌🏼 It was 100% the O ring because that bloody thing was inside the fuel tank 😂😂😂😂😂 Fitting new fuel pump was a pain as always since the DW is a bit longer than stock. But she’s running!!! ❤️

      Never ending fuel pump drama

      PWM quite literally just chops the ful 12V voltage on and off at whatever duty cycle you're running it at. If you're running it 100%, then it is on full voltage all the time, same as if there was no PWM. If you run it at 50% duty cycle, it is only seeing the full 12V half of the time. This is broadly equivalent to running it at 6V. But the crucial difference is that motors (and a lot of other loads) don't like being powered at low volts. They will either fail to start rotating, or draw a shit ton of current, or other undesirable things. But if you give them the full volt, and then a short period of no volts, and then some more full volts, then the times when they are seeing power they are seeing all the voltage, and they are happy. But you get the performance out of them as if they were only seeing that fraction of the full voltage. It is not really easy to answer your question about what flow you will get out of it at 50% duty cycle. I can tell you that it is not as simple as you think. For a start, that 460 L/h pump is not going to flow 460 when you're on boost. When you're on boost you will be somewhere down the sloping part of that red line. If you have 15 psi of boost, then the pump can only deliver about 95 gal/h, which is <380L/h. So your simple 50% on 460 = 230 wasn't going to work anyway. But also, it won't deliver 50% of 380 either, because when you devolt or PWM trim th epower being fed to the pump, it is not able to deliver flow or pressure in the same way. 50% duty cycle will probably produce <50% of the full voltage flow. The way to find out what duty cycle you need to run it at at low load (ie, at idle) is to idle it and turn the DC down until you start to lose fuel pressure, then turn it back up above that with some extra for safety. And then you do the same thing at full load, in case it doesn't need anywhere near 100% DC. And if you're careful/caution/prudent, you will also do it at a couple of loads in between so you can shape the DC map against load. It might not be linear between the two end points.
