Any particulate steps in launching big V coupe....AUTO tranny...

also does the power button makes it hold on to gears for longer and will taking traction control off help...

coming from a light modified manual R33, the V accelaration does not make me jump for joy like the 33 did... mind you i did not buy it for speed to being with

slide it over into manual mode, turn off traction control, foot on break, rev up to 1500-2500 rpms, release break, floor ... takes practice to get a good launch without wheelspin.. i wouldnt do this personally however as it puts too much stress on the drivetrain but thaz generally how i launch n auto, when its not mine :)

Eh sounds like you learnt that on your XR6 Turbo. lol

lol, sometimes ive still noticed the traction control kicking in even when its disabled, dosent happen much but yeh still kinda annoying.

As far as launching goes, yeh not the best idea....but in my sisters WV R32 the one with the DSG, they actually have this method printed in the manual!, its kinda encouraged by the way they typed it up.

Mate, I think ur clutch is slipping :sick:. When the VDC is disabled, I see no reason for it to kick in randomly...

this is what anoys me...

as the V35 price range gets closer to the 20K mark. it is good because it becomes in reach of my pricerange

but as they reach the 20K mark.. these threads will become more common.

haha

^+1,hahah, good one!.....'clutch is slipping' but its an auto?...its not all the time just rarely, but its noticeable.

....what i dont like is why the V35 price has dropped so low, i mean you can pick up an 03 auto for around 22!!, this suxs!...its such a beautifully made car it should be starting around late 20's.

But i guess it come down to market demand i mean the supply is there, the demand isnt...sigh the jap car import market just isnt what it used to be., and also awareness. not many people know what kinda car this is.

Yap, that's true..

mines a 70th Anniversary 2004 Auto - got for 25,500 in Jan

comming from a R33 GTST, i know what your thinking and Yes... V35 will probably be next R33....

not that it's bad thing or anything........ Too many IT guys owning R33, so i though its time to change

Sure there will be V35s getting round in the low 20's but most if not all of them are going to be the base model autos, so no leather, no bose, no tv screen "even though it dosent work here it still looks cool" and no dual climate etc not sure about the air bags and ESP

im glad mine came over with most of the options checked including the wood grain lol, but i still thank the previous owner for the full nismo zhust system, nismo 280km dash, and a decent set of 19" rims :yes:

Back on topic...

Install a line locker to the rear brake hydraulics... hit the switch to disconnect...

first gear in manual mode

left foot hard on brake pedal

right foot on accelerator and dial up 2,500 - 3,000 rpm

as the christmas tree lights up

remove left foot and gradually apply more accelerator pedal.

:D

or buy a manual and side step the clutch at 5,000 rpm!

:w00t::w00t:

No responsibility taken on above advice, but it will work a few times!

As for prices falling, I would hate to see them become the new R33... but I think they might.

Hope I can get mine before I am known as "one of those Skyline owners"

:):D :D

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
