Isola Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 i would have my foot 1/4 way down on the clutch while going up the slopes so that the car wouldnt shudder and stall LOL, good old leanring manual days, i dont do that anymore but in the beginning it was pretty much inexperience and i was scared that the car would stall or roll back or something, u get what i mean ? .....so... just let me make sure I have this right... you were keeping the clutch IN to STOP the car from rolling backwards down the hill? I think my brain is starting to melt....

I think my brain is starting to melt.... 1/4 or 1/3 Engaged.... Isnt thats what riding is (maybe a bit of throttling)? The car will move without any throttling but will 100% stall on a twin.

brizzy_rocker Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 buahahah yes i was a very very big noob mate, i would feather it all the way up , not on every slope though, just where i would need to get the car up from a standing still, hard to explain bro, just all i can say was i was a noob and the big change wasnt easy at first, but hey you learn along the way and get used to it Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/261269-inner-west-crew-whoretown-toowongst-luciakenmoreindooroopilly-and-sometimes-sunnybank/page/665/#findComment-5020717 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danski Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I'd like to read something on a comparison though. I was told by Gavin, Matt and Mark (other than Mark recommending vipec) that running afm would have better fuel economy and easier to tune (comparison between pfc and dejetro). Fuel economy ? What fuel economy ? Its a skyline Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/261269-inner-west-crew-whoretown-toowongst-luciakenmoreindooroopilly-and-sometimes-sunnybank/page/665/#findComment-5020718 Share on other sites More sharing options...

yaface Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 You not got an ECU yet ? Nope I 'was' going for the nistune but now I'm not sure if I'm going to keep my car or not.

Smity42 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 whats wrong with blitz filters? i have a mines induction kit with blitz sus air cleaner filters or something, cant tell exactly coz all the papers and instructions for them are in japanese, i do find though that they make very little induction noise compared to apexi ones , you can really hear the induction with apexi filters, i was gona get them changed but theyr washable so just asked Dan to clean them up for me. Poor filtration and poor flow. I'd like to read something on a comparison though. I was told by Gavin, Matt and Mark (other than Mark recommending vipec) that running afm would have better fuel economy and easier to tune (comparison between pfc and dejetro). I'd say thats more of a PFC failing than anything. But then again I can never understand tuners. My mate was telling me last night that a tuner had told him the best way to tune a VQ35 was without a AFM OR MAP sensor, but just using the TPS and RPM. I have NFI how that is supposed to work. Oh mangz thats no fun then . . . hehe I can still hate you anyway, if you like? Middlemount. 2hrs drive from Emerald towards Mackay. Nice! I was born in Mackay. Whats out there? A mine or something? 1/4 or 1/3 OUT. Isnt thats what riding is (maybe a bit of throttling)? The car will move without any throttling but will 100% stall on a twin. They way I read it is that he was driving it up hills and leaving it in high gear (ie 4th or 5th) and then as it loaded up up the hill it started to struggle, so he held the clutch in instead of changing down a gear Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/261269-inner-west-crew-whoretown-toowongst-luciakenmoreindooroopilly-and-sometimes-sunnybank/page/665/#findComment-5020732 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope I 'was' going for the nistune but now I'm not sure if I'm going to keep my car or not. Nistune being a cheap and very effective option... I didn't think there was a particularly good option for nistunes on 25s? Either having to use a 20 ECU and lose VCT, or doing some sort of dodgy on a Z32 ecu? Ask any mechanical engineer and they'll tell you if you want max power, forget about it being economical.... You can't trust them though, they're always drunk. front end view of you and your car on the dyno What he said 300kms to a tank FTW 350! Suck sh*t!

brizzy_rocker Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 haha i just realised the more you guys know about me the more you will realise i am just your average 18 year old guy who is making the big leap to proper adulthood, im still stupid and immature often , but i dont consider turning 18 or geting a fancy 18+ card to get into clubs and drink or buy smokes legally makes you an adult, you become an adult when you have learnt alot and apply what youve learnt in life to make mature and sensible decisions for yourself and realise the consequences that your decisions have on people who are close to you, perfect example, when i go to uni and socialise i see guys and girls who are 20+ years old some even close to 25 and you would be really find it difficult to distinguish between them and a 13 year old kid at high school if you were asked to.
