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)

    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
    • Yes, a plan for non-action is always my first sort of plan! I'm happy to see what falls out of invision's update. I had been having some thoughts on what to do with this the other day and they all seem to have fled my memory, after various solar panel induced traumas, squeaking suspension sphericals, etc etc, over the last little bit. I'll try and recall what I had in mind and make sure that I put it into print in some form before the Alzheimer's strikes again.
    • The ability to have both a 5500 stall for launching, and a regular lockup for every other scenario is pretty sweet. Does it actually work well like that though in the real world? Would it hold up to track use and otherwise you'd never know you had a stall converter in it? If so, that's awesome
