You mean you didn't see what i drove on the weekend? 66 Skyline seems to be more of a man's car than most new ones.

Prince Skyline GT-B

No power steer

No NVH

No cornering ability (leaf-spring rear)

No brakes (disc/drum)

No air con

Manual windows

No demister

No f&*kin radio and the list goes on and on and on...

this is all well and good that these cars can go fast in a straight line, but they dont really handle or stop. My mates dad had a BA fairmont ghia and the thing was toyworld quality inside, for a car that cost more than twice the price of mine and be almost 10 years newer it should come out with a slightly better build quality.

Congrats to Nizpro on running a good time, those engines will be able to go WAY faster than that as they are developed. Obviously with twin cams and an extra 1000cc they will be able to smack all those VL tubros going around.

As for all those that are having a shot at the engineering in the car....frankly why should most consumers have to pay a premium for overengineering they will never use.

As far as I'm concerned if you want to double the stock output of the car, you should bloody well expect to have to upgrade driveline, suspension, brakes etc.

    • Yeah, you want the IACV to be running at around 30 "units", variously called "steps" or "duty cycle" depending on the person. That gives it room to go lower if need be and higher ditto.
    • Ah right that makes sense.
    • The RPM is just a target, the ECU will adjust things to try and hit that target but it's by no means guaranteed. If the IACV duty cycle is 0 or something like that and it's actually closing up fully then the idle is as low as it can physically go without reducing ignition timing. The problem can be something like the cold start valve in the IACV not closing fully, worn throttle shaft seals, torn rubber diaphragm in the brake booster allowing unmetered air, etc. 
    • Apexi, though I'm not comfortable with setting the idle, knowing me I'll f**k it up lol.
    • What ECU is on your car @silviaz? You can just change the idle target table yourself and the IACV duty cycle. Noting that if you play around with the screw you'll also need to revisit the idle base duty table as you will end up offsetting the lot. Another reason why DBW is superior, there's less mucking about.
