Hello

Someone stole my R31 Skyline Silhouette from the TAFE carpark today. It is one of the Australian series 3 cars with the dark/light grey paint scheme - fairly common - and the round rear tail lights. It is easily identified as it has the GTS II white mags on (from the red limited series car - 5 spoke white mag). Rego: YXJ592.

I don't have any pictures of the car.

Any help appreciated. My mobile is 0409 817 616.

Thanks.

Brett

TAFE ? QBN ? or do you mean one of the CIT's ?

Taken from the dirt car park across from the Civic CIT. Yeah I might go to a drive around the area tomorrow. Had almost a full tank of fuel so I guess they could get a fair way.

Yep, that is the colour. Just had the different front bonnet with the lip that sort of wraps done to the bumper a bit.

Damn Brett that sucks gives you an excuse to focus on getting the other car back on the road. I will keep an eye out for it though.

When I went there.. my little pulsar was broken into twice. The first time they stole the only valuable thing there - the headunit.. then the second time I think they just broke in because they were expecting something.

Thanks for looking guys. Still hasn't turned up. I guess it will end up as parts on ebay. The wheels are very hard to hide as there were only 200 of the GTS2 skylines in Aus. Might start watching the forums/papers to see if anybody sells a set.

I saw one today just outside my house (we sometimes get abandoned cars in the complex) but it wasn't yours... same paint colour but it had silver spoked rims. Might be someone off here cos it had what looked like an R31 skyline club sticker on the side window.

when I saw it I thought of you straight away!!

I did spot a silver r31 trailing a 31 white wagon yesterday morning around 8:30, was at smash repairer myself. It sounded as if it had something wrong with the engine. It had a bonnet vent on the left side of the bonnet. Not sure if it would be yours, just thought i'd post it up.

      There is a LOT of stuff that can be done, it all depends on how much time and money you want to spend on doing in.  Not all ECUs will be able to do it, and the more control you need the more time and knowledge needs to be put into making it work.  If you're willing to spend the time and money and have the right hardware and skills involved there's a lot that can be done.

      I am impressed with all this level of adjustment. I didn't expect all this possibility

      By Lithium · Posted

      Correct.  In the case of the 500kw dyno plot I showed you the car actually runs two boost control solenoids for boost control and a 5psi wastegate spring.  It allows me to control how much boost pressure is applied to both sides of the wastegate valve at any point and fairly accurately control boost target as a result. I've tuned it so that it's able to target anywhere from 5psi to 25psi depending on what's needed.  The target tables I've set up in that car are Gear vs RPM, so every gear has potential for a different boost (and torque) curve.   First and second gear have quite low boost targets, third gear actually has different target boost all the way through the rpm range as it's a stock RB25 gearbox - the boost targets have been chosen to maintain a peak of 600nm (what the owner has set as the maximum torque he's happy with putting through the stock 3rd gear) but it carries that to the rev limiter.   The boost curve to achieve that is something of a ramp up, then hold, then ramp up again and the power curve looks more like a flat line haha.
