i like corners! but sometimes i feel like spending all the money on power instead of looking at handling when someone else in the same car smokes me at the lights! :P

I do.

That's why I have a Peugeot 205 GTI as well. It is more fun than the GTR in the twisty hills near me. The GTR feels too wide and heavy and always makes me feel like I'm driving too slow... until I look at the speedo. The Pug doesn't sound as good and against a stop watch it is slower over the same roads, but I can drive it much closer to its limits and not worry about killing myself because of one mistake.

Different cars with different personalities for different moods. Cruising in the Bentley was something altogether different again.

LOL that is SO true ahahaha... im going down pt wakefield doin 90 feels like im doing 60.. -,-'

lol danny. yeh she is still hanging in there :) got rear ended about a month ago tho. gonna take it into all crash repair on sat. dude there knows simon pretty well :P

so u rekon fuel pump then remap?

who should i see for remap jeff or shaun?? lol lol. sorry had to....

ill flip a coin lol.

Regarding :I want more power . Who doesn't . LOL 292rwks isn't enough for me , I want more , more I tell you . Slap , the wife slaps me across the back of the head. I want another WRX , pergola , solar heating for pool etc , etc .

There goes that idea. :)

Good luck with the power thirst because it only gets worse. :P

MMMMMMMM new 35GTR MMMMMMMMM R34GTR dddddrrrooooooooollllll.

Because all we want after doing mods , is a newer version of our cars so we can suffer more power cravings . ;)

One of the problems with living in the western world is the need to accumulate stuff!!

When we finally get it we realize we need a bigger fix (bit like a druggie).

One thing's for certain though, life will pass you by and you won't take it with you.

lol.........I just read this back and I sound like my old man.........maybe he's smarter than I thought!!

ive dealt with jeff and he is awsome to work with, he tuned my 180 to perfection, i got nothing bad to say about shaun at all, its just ive used jeff and he did a awsome job! u mean all type crash that would be hayden, ive heard nothing but good from those guys, also i have used eagle paint n panel on old port road great workmanship there also!

im looking for a new car at the moment, not sure deep down i want another fd, but a 32 gtr n dirt bike would be cheaper haha

LOL that is SO true ahahaha... im going down pt wakefield doin 90 feels like im doing 60.. -,-'

but u did 260 and got gunned lollies :P

One thing's for certain though, life will pass you by and you won't take it with you.

thats right, enjoy it while u still can

cant take the $ with you

what about me :P faster than sinista :(

I believe you, got it on video :D

dan denied it tho' "sif film it when I didn't launch"

i like corners! but sometimes i feel like spending all the money on power instead of looking at handling when someone else in the same car smokes me at the lights! :)

i might add i went from a dato to this car, so half pressing the accelarator feels nutz to me :)

i dont have any probs at the lights, its rare i find something even up to scratch. mind you i prob don't drive as much as the rest of you guys as i catch the train to work, and 4wd gives me a major advantage on any car with simmilar power.

I feel the same sometimes aswell, wether it be an MX5, an FC or SW20, they all seem enticing, maybe when my daily runs itself into the ground I will get one, until then im still saving for a 2nd skyline.

I find in the hills with my wagon, what it doesnt have power wise in the straights, it makes up in the corners cos im less worryied about crashing it :ermm: and it seems less wide then the DR30 for some reason.

nice nice danny. gotta take my beast in on saturday.

so i was just wondering so long as we are on the topic. fuel pumps - wat size 550cc? and can i do it my self?

I think you're thinking of injector size.

Get a walbro fuel pump ($160 from here/NS.com, A Sard fuel reg ($180 delivered from nengun) and get the ECU remapped for 14 PSI

should crack 190 odd quite easily. Hoping for over 200 with the same setup on my car.

i used to be the biggest fan of the walbro's... but i would no longer recommend them. had a few failures from genuine units.. its not worth risking an engine over. Spend 30-40 bucks more and buy a bosch pump and be done with it.

Dont waste your time with a FPR either, you'll run into rail pressure and injector failure issues over time on a street car ( i run one for now but upgrading my injectors very soon)

exhaust

cooler

RB25 turbo

remap

1 bar boost

fuel pump

= around 200 rwkw, dont worry if its 190 or less... it all depends on the health of the motor and turbo combo.

theres some freak combos out there... Ev with the white r31 for example made 183 rwkw with a RB20 turbo on his... and the above supoorting mods. Jeff tuned it :banana:

Technical parameters: - Axle: front. - Disc type: ventilated. - Number of holes: 5. - Disc diameter: 310mm. - Total height with center: 54mm. - Thickness (new/min.): 30/28mm. - Designed for brake calipers manufacturer: Sumitomo.
    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
