nice to meet some of you guys, was some nice cars there to.

i got a question though the higher the number is on the A:FR the leaner it is correct?

because im running pretty high. starts at 13.8 then dropes to 12.5 then goes back up to around 13.5. is this dangerously high? what should it be around?

yeah mate 13.5 is too lean, maybe dangerously so. you need to get it checked out.

safe targets are generally 12 or 12.5:1 at high load and high revs say over 4000rpm

how do i go about checking my fuel pump?

better yet i got a 040 under my bed, will it run to rich if i just chuck it in, seeing injectors are still standard?

ps thanks for the help.

Hey Anna! sounds like your car is going good these days!

What do you think of the resurrection? It's still being finished obviously(sideskirts, pods) and it sounds like a lot of the electronics aren't wired in yet(thermo fans and boost control) but yeah, very happy to have it almost finished. I should be out with you guys in about 2 more weeks I hope :)

Oh and bring on the pics!! :)

Yeah noticed yours wasn't "quite" back together yet!! At least its back on the rd and running!!! Little stuff can wait! :) Looks good.... except the crooked grill !!! Although I kinda like the GTS badge :) Oh and tried to steal your carbon fibre wing but Doof was watching it like a hawk..... :P:)

Yeah its old reliability these days FINALLY!!

More than reliable going by that dyno result Anna. :P

The grill, bar and headlight are getting refitted and the sideskirts and pods are both painted and ready to be fitted. My only issue now is that the rims look a little small with the new guards. As for the badge, I gave an identical one to Dr Doof, maybe you could buy it off him? If he can find it...

Oh and I'm going to have to put a tracking system on that wing :) Everyone wants it lol.

Damn, spewing I missed this!

After getting 135.2kw on an R34 GTT back in July and recently changing spark plugs I need to know what difference it has made as a mate of mine pulled 161kw stock like mine pretty much except I've got a cat back and air filter.

Oh well maybe next time.

Aww.. Cheers Matt! :D I'll be out driving with you guys again soon!

Nice pics auss13

I was walking to my car for something and I saw this blue R33.

I started looking more closely then I saw the number plates. This is where I went "isn't that...?"

Look around the car, familiar wheels, familiar wing. Then I went looking for you. Later on I found out you where never there :)

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Adjusting the idle screw is usually (emphasis on usually) just covering up deeper issues. Stuff like the cold start valve not closing properly. Throttle shaft seals on the way out. Coolant temp sensors getting out of spec. Coolant temp sensors especially can be a bear to diagnose because they can fail subtly. My dad just spent weeks chasing down his high idle. He cleaned the coolant temp sensor and everything but the resistance curve just drifts over time and if it's been 20+ years they also get super slow to respond as well. Has a massive effect on fuel economy as if it's off the ECU is going to run richer and command high idle for far longer than it should otherwise.

      How old is the battery, it's more likely your battery is on its way out.

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      I reckon you'd get 90% off. My washer doesn't get between spokes very well. Haha! I love my Gerni!  Argh! Steam cleaning has its place for sure.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By silviaz · Posted

      Hey all, I did a voltage test with the car (video attached) not running for 3 days. And here is some interesting stuff: - Battery voltage is 12v (I had the key in the ON position) - Drops to 9.76v while cranking then quickly goes up to 14.5v - You will notice there was a sorta slow start but not as slow as it usually is. - Idle surprisingly was better at just over 1,000rpm instead of 1,100 rpm. - I turned on the A/C, radio and headlights in the video and the voltage remains the same - I haven't cleaned the grounding wires on the chassis yet, that's next. - Battery drops to 12.6v when I turn off the car and wait a bit Seems like I might have a parasitic draw? I do have an immobiliser system which does drain the battery more of course but was wondering if there is anything else I should be looking at fixing? Does the ground wires on the chassis have anything to do with the low 12v?        SAU.avi

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      My lord that is some low oil pressure as minimum in the manual! I guess the big part will be seeing how it changes as the engine gets more spirited use.
