3rd pulls really good on mine too. A few little flat spots due to the ECU crapping itself though.. :D

I find that when giving other cars a run, and if it's a close call in 1st and 2nd, I'll get into 3rd and pull away from them.

I think it's cause the ratio from 2nd to 3rd is close. Eg. 2nd goes to around 100km/h (if you push it) and 3rd only get's you too 140km/h.

DriveBai - once you get a 3inch exhaust and up the boost you'll notice a big improvement :D

yeah i got a 3in exhaust from the turbo, hi-flow cat, blled valve.. running 11psi.. but on stock boost its still the same.. also i got an SAFC which may need a retune as i got it tuned before my dump pipe and hi-flow cat..

yeah i heard that 3rd gear is spose to be strong in Skylines but my 3rd gear seems a little lifeless almost like a continuation of 2nd gear like it doesnt pull any harder once i change to 3rd.

why would it pull harder in 3rd than 2nd???

i think when people say 3rd gear is strong for skylines its relative to other cars, not relative to second gear, i.e other cars start slowing in acceleration (non turbos) in 3rd compared to a turbo skyline

my car definitely accelerates harder in second than third.....

Have to agree with that, I find if it is neck and neck or I am tailing a bit, once it hits third it is all over Red Rover (most of the time anyway :) )

I would say that 2nd pulls harder than 3rd, but you have so much range in third compared to 2nd.

I think 3rd is the best gear if you ask me.. but i don't get to use it that often, because it pulls hard from 80km/hr to 140km/hr (/too fast).

You might need a S-AFC or ECU to get the most out of that range thugh.

I find that 4th is the best gear that if say a monaro or WRX or 180sx trys to give you a run i'll just pull car length in 4th but i've got a speed cut. As REDBACK says anything over 10.5 psi and the car gets a slight surge due to std ECU. 10.5psi is the magic number as i've done lots of testing if anyone has questions?(REDBACK)

    • H2 (for cars) will never happen. It's not reasonable for any number of reasons. It's also not reasonable for almost all of the industrial uses that the fanbois say that it will be used for, again for a large number of reasons. There are some cases where it will be good. But, even those will be massively hampered by the economics. The only way that H2 can be economic is if we somehow manage to get from where we are to the other side of the economic-valley-of-death in which no-one can operate. You need there to be sufficient renewable generated electricity to be available so that it is effectively free. Once you are there, you can do whatever the hell you want and hang the efficiency. But until you get there, the ever diminishing value of electricity makes it harder and harder to encourage businesses to build the new generation capacity, and they will simply stop investing in generation projects. (I kinda think there needs to be just government money spent on building the required capacity in a non-commercial way, similar to how the first fossil fueled grids were built, as national-government owned utilities. And probably some nuclear in there to start. But this all should have started 10-15 years ago to avoid the chasm of death that we face right now). Synth fuels will be much more likely, but will only occur is there is at least some renewable H2 production, because you need H2 to do it. And you need stacks of free (or at least extraordinarily cheap) energy because assembling molecules back into fuels is exactly the opposite process to burning the fuel, and the reason we burn fuels is because there is so much energy squeezed into each molecule. So you're somewhat subject to the same economic valley of death problem as above anyway. That is unless people are willing to pay the current equivalent of $5 or $6 per litre of petrol-ish liquid fuels. Can you imagine it? The squealing at $2 now is bad enough.
    • This is so cool. Get a dashcam that records audio and hopefully you'll catch it.  Maybe there's a brand or some kind of markings on the back ? Are the pics hand drawn? I love it so much.
    • Hahaha yep, point(s) taken. I just like seeing different things and an EV in an R32 is pretty different. I'm not on the EV band wagon, I'm waiting for synthetic fuels or hydrogen personally. 
    • I mean it's probably likely that people overestimate their skills in dialling in a setup and noticing the changes. I had SK shocks and springs, and added heavier springs and got them revalved by Sydney Shocks to suit based upon what I told them I wanted the car to handle like. I got back a completely different feeling set of shocks, which probably (?) feel great on track but holy hell are they rough on tram tracks and the like. The shock dyno actually looks pretty similar to Shockworks (from what I can surmise from a screenshot of a youtube video - and my dyno printout...) Truth be told I doubt I'd be any faster or slower with either setup, or camber/castor combination. I also had whiteline eccentric castor bushes up front of my R34. I removed them and put in poly non-adjustable ones to soothe my OCD (nobody ever set the castor the same side to side, and it'd be near impossible to do) and be happy the wheel is centered in the well now for clearance reasons. Yes I wanted it to move 1mm 'back' :p I've effectively set my castor back to stock, negating all the benefits of that which is supposedly massive. I've probably also altered toe and camber in a negative (detrimental) way. I can't tell any difference steering the car.
