i wonder how your 34R would go with 4.11 diff gears

how do you find its acceleration at the moment with std diff gears scotty

[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

im using the powerfc boost kit and it works well

when you use it you get boost print out on the hand controller and the powerfc will correct based on boost as well

set and forget and away you go

set target boost, set duty to reach that level and your done

it doesnt do dual solenoid or any fandangle stuff

so if your on std turbos etc its fine

if you want 3.6kgcm2 of boost with instant scramble then get a dual solenoid unit

Ok...

So a Power FC does a boost controller built in?

[KamikazeNinja34]

No. It's a seperate add on piece.

well i dont have anything to really base it on but its definitely quick. for a 6 speed the gearings are very close together. i can be in 5th doing 60km/h and still have enough pick up to get to 100km/h quicker than alot of little cars. i find first gear to be very quick and 2nd gear is the fun gear because if im on fullboost in 3rd im going well over any speed limit.

that probably didnt answer your question lol. if you have any specific questions about it i can answer.

A question for wasteland, I have never changed the pannel filter in my gtr and was thinking about doing it this weekend, I have a sticker on the airbox saying nismo filter, I was wondering if there are any markings/branding on the filter itself to let me know that it is actually a nismo/k&n filter?

[paulr33]

the powerfc has the logic and code built into the unit for the boost control kit

but you cant use it without the sensor, harness and solenoid

the menus are on the hand controller etc

the boost kit itself includes

an additional wiring harness

a map sensor

a boost solenoid

on the the side of the powerfc is a white socket, you plug the harness in there and plug in the map sensor and solenoid

so you dont have to do any wiring or splicing etc, just plug and pray

then set boost on the menu and duty and your done

the AVCR uses the same parts but has different controller logic

the avcr has boost scramble, boost gain etc and other features

but it uses the same sensor, harness, solenoid

you can mix and match them (the parts)

[paulr33]

prboably not, just take the filter out when you goto recpo/autobarn and ask for a K&N equiv of that size

[alr33x]

probably not the right place to ask but worth a shot.

6ltr v8 ls2 V the 6.2lt v8 ls3

signifcant differences are - ?

i know ls3 is 317kw over 307 (not massive difference) probably more economical?

I see, cool thanks!

[HEKT1K]

Significant differences - i'd say none.

Wiki reckons the 6.2 has better flowing heads and some other extra crap. Much of a muchness really.

[alr33x]

yeh thats what i was thinking would be the case but there is a fair price difference from the 6ltr to the 6.2ltr..

[alr33x]

theres an 07 with 4500kms for 49driveaway and an 08 with 12000kms and full lether for 52k driveaway id say the 08 is better value but i rkn you'd get more discount on the 07 because its an 07

[HEKT1K]

Easy decision then, buy 6lt and spend the difference on mods

you're looking at VE clubbys yeah?

[dezz]

VE clubsport must be the real estate agent car of choice

[alr33x]

yeh id go a gts but its a massive price jump and they all got high kms dont see the value specially since the got the MRC suspension so cant slam em

[jfk]

la lakers vs suns triple OT la by 2 wot a game kobe the black mamba

[blags]

You're a fag alex

[alr33x]

nah most agents drive bmws/lexus/merc/audi well the decent ones the average ones drive mazda's/honda's etc

i just need something suitable for towing and i dont see myself in a 4x4 could get a lexus gs430 4.3ltr v8 would probably do the job but not sold on teh look of em

i rkn ve's look tits.

[alr33x]

says the man who dislocated his shoulder twice on band camp ? what kinda funky shit where you and the year 9s utpo

[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

Merc AMG C63 Coupe, anyone?
