Thanks Shane, wont be using V power then and sticking with BP Ultimate.

My works the same at the moment slow as anything because holden and ford :) .... At the begining of the year however I was working 6-7 days a week and I was loving it. Im hoping the rumor of 5 weeks off over christmas doesnt come true, because I'll be in China all of Feb without pay. All my hard work in the begining of the year is cancelling out now ;)

thanks for that info Ruby

Try it for yourself see what ya think!

Yer well rumours true mate, we got a calender here from work atm and we break up on the 13th of december or something and don't back back until mid to late jan....Not good at all! Thought you worked for clipsal??

Seriously Glenn try V-Power your self.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with it. The ONLY problem I've had with fuel in the 8years I've owned the R32 is 'ONCE' and that was with an apparent dirty batch of Mobil 8000.

If fuel made some ones car feel sluggish chances are they picked up the wrong pump thinking it was V-power and the knock sensors pulled a heap of ign. out or somehow the bloke re filling the tanks has pumped a little ULP in to the wrong tank.

If V-Power was known to perform worse tuners etc sure as hell would know about it.

All fuels are pretty much the same. I personally use V-Power is it works well and is slightly cheaper. It doesn't feel like it goes better nor can I push in more ignition on ANY other fuel apart from E10.

Pretty sure i know what pump has V power my friend im not stupid

lol.. Nothing to do with being stupid my friend. :)

I can run ULP and the car doesn't feel any different apart from it pings its arse off.

Your experience is definitely a once off. I have days where i think the car feels punchier or ramps on to boost harder than others. Its just the nature of the beast.

Definatly, somtimes i feel the cars a rocket other times its slow as a wet weak but what can you do

More boost so traction is always an issue then you wouldn't know any better. :P

What is stupid.. Trying to adjust the actuator to line up a little better and breaking the rod. Then having to drive around NASP. Then welded the rod and now can't find the rod that screws on to the actuator and connects to the wastegate flapper. :)

Yeah I did work for clipsal, but now for AI Automotive, as I lost my job at clipsal in January when I finished my apprenticeship... just after a big downsizing in nov / dec last year. AI do some work clipsal out-sourced, so thats how I ended up at AI.

Because we also do aftermarket parts and some clipsal work, im hoping I can manage to work through christmas, as I need a few things fixed on the DR now and Im guessing its not going to be cheap :P (power steering, coilovers [still not done after many months :) ], Muffler/exhuast , New Tyres, Wheel Allignment, Oil Leak, plus any other problems my mechanic can find )... Might get the Front Mount installed aswell while its getting worked on.

Meh AWD in the wrx kinda kills that equation though my friend, and the turbo setup in the DR is to linear even if i wind more boost into it (once i sort out the fuelling issue) i still don't rekon it'll be a wheel spinning fiend of a thing...It kinda reminds me of driving a SR20 on standard boost in its boost delivery...still 8 psi into a turbo designed to work over 16psi probably has something to do with that!

Did you end up finding that rod???

Oh AI automotive eh...we've got a few managers/engineers that came from that place, seems automotive is a place NOT to be right atm!

Shit champ, sounds like you've got as much to do on yours as i do on mine!! Pity i can't find anyone to rebuild my coil overs grrr!! Whats wrong with muffler?? Mine needs wheel alignment as well, needs my weird non brake pedal issue fixed as well...f**k it sell it and buy a GTR?!?!?!?!?

Yeah AI seems abit iffy at the moment I think, how long they will keep going...

My brothers mate rebuilds coilovers, I will get his number and PM it your way... The muffler got worn out by scraping too many driveways, So im just getting an exhuast made up like Josh's Purple beast as it looks good.

Funny I was just talking to my gf about a 32 GT-R on friday night, but I think I would regret selling the DR like Crimmo and Tom did :D ... also I wont get what I want for my DR ;)

Meh automotive in general is iffy mate....Refer to my post in the wasteland!

Oh i KNOW i'd regret selling the DR hence i haven't!!! Even though it hasn't moved for a while now haha!!

Yer that'd be sweet, i've organised to get some standard one's at some stage in life but probably won't happen for a while either on that front!! Bloody cars lol!!

    • Oh yeah forgot to also mention need to also unplug the IACV as well. Thanks for the reminder @MBS206 Unplugging the TPS takes it out of closed loop so you're able to screw down the IACV without the ECU trying to add/subtract timing to maintain the idle (not sure PowerFC can even do this, but Nistune and the OEM definitely does)
    • For sale is my 1999 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T, tuned to 234 kW / 313 hp. I've had the car for a few years as my daily driver. The car is original (as far as Skylines go), with only a few minor upgrades to enhance performance and driving experience, as typical for such a car of its age. Overall, it is in great condition with no body rust, thanks to its earlier import date. It features a top-notch security system (not literally, but it's great!) with remote start and still functional 4-wheel steering via HICAS. It comes with several performance and handling upgrades, including:     Hypergear 450HP Turbocharger running 17 PSI boost, installed mid-2021 by Jaustech     550cc injectors     Nistune ECU     Front-Mount Return-Flow Intercooler     X-Force Stainless Steel Exhaust     Upgraded engine mounts     Bottom end bearings replaced     BC Coilovers     Lenso DR1 rims     Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE003 TL 245/40R18 97W tires, fitted early 2023 The interior is mostly stock, with a few additions:     Viper Satellite Tracking System with remote start     Bluetooth Double-Din Touchscreen Head Unit     Steering wheel cover Cons:     A few paint imperfections here and there     Driver’s seat shows more wear than the others. It's not torn at all, but I've added a seat cover to protect its condition. I also have a CarVX Vehicle History report available for serious buyers, so you don’t need to purchase it yourself. Price: $26,000 ONO.
    • I've had two suzukis in the past have an extremely hard time turning over and not starting after sitting for a few weeks. Ended up the alternator would seize up causing the starter to force. Same issue both times.  Maybe they're sourcing their alternators from the same place...
    • Ah right. Maybe my rb just loves chewing through batteries lol.
    • On the R34 can't you just unplug the IACV? This is the way I've always done it on the R33. Disconnect IACV, get it idling around 650rpm, and then do a power reset on the ECU to get it to relearn idle (factory ECU).   The big reason no one has touched on as to why you'd want to get the base idle right, is that it means the computer needs to make smaller adjustments to get a good idle at 700-750rpm.   Also, cleaning the IACV won't normally make the car suddenly idle lower or higher. The main issue with the IACV gumming up is that the valve sticks. This means the inputs the ECU gives, aren't translating to changes in air flow. This can cause idle choppy ness as the ECU is now needing to give a lot of input to get movement, but then it moves too far, and then has to do the same in reverse, and it can mean the ECU can't catch stalls quickly either.
