Pushead, sounds like you need a wheel balance something shocking! I'm not trying to be a hero, but in my sil, i can go 180 no worries on stock suspension (in controlled environments of course!!! hahaha)

Take your car to a place like Bob Jane or Beaurepairs and get a wheel balance. Pretty sure stock suspension should be that bad!

Hey All....

What does it feel like when the speed limiter cuts in? Jus curious cause i've never felt it before.

I once felt the revs bounce off 5500 rpm in fifth and i thought that was the speed limiter.

I remember running against a near stock 180, and realizing that it was leaving me behind in 2nd gear. disappointing to say the least. My car is stock btw.

the pic is where i had the needle go the furtherest... which when i cut out the speedo in paint and rotate it so the lines continue works out to be about 220... got a little scarey after that on the rough part of the "track"

RSR - just feels like the engine cuts out hard and then it like staggers til it drops down then back up again... like the more u press down on the accelerator the less it goes. Makes a lot of popping noises too

btw this post has the pic as i will remember to attach it this time.

luckily mine was removed with ur ECU :) which i must say has done bloody well... i accidentally wound the boost up to 16psi and it only pinged when i was going over 5500RPM! :D nice one... and yes the boost has been wound back down L)

Not sure how reliable the speed sensors are, but last time i went thru one of those speed traps in Geelong it was rougly 7km/h off.

I'm guessing that they're usually 5km/h below the speedo reading. Reassuring to know that there's some buffer when driving past those speed cameras.

i wouldnt say that...my car is pretty accurate untill getting faster...then it increases the gap!

Yeh, was prob not the best way to test accuracy, hehehe, drivin under a bridge with a speed trap to find out the speed... I jus remember reading similar variances in speedo readings from other cars.

I think its motor mag? or whatever that has the actual speed at 100km/h and its usually slightly under.

    • All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.    
    • It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.

    • Welcome Gabriel. At least your car has a glorious RB and not the shitty CA18. As MBS206 mentioned all the good bits can be added later. Two doors or four?
