1/4 Mile Question:

[Granthem]

I really wanna run in some nice cool air stupid QLD!

[superjet760]

Nitrous = cold air

[Granthem]

Hahaha good point. Sadly my car on the 1/4 ran a best of 107mph and a best time of 13.00 @ only 105mph.

Hopefully it was the QLD summer heat dragging it down abit, and winter might see the MPH edge closer to 110 (which is where I thought it should be)

So to the OP, dont think your car is terrible! You're not far behind mine! (with less mods )

swear benaraby has wrong mph sometimes lol

best i was gettin was 108mph at benaraby, went 2 willowbank, with a tidy'ed up tune and got 115 lol... but it didnt feel any quicker i swear lol

[Harey]

Like i said, i never asked anything about mines ecu so can we please just forget it?

Anyway, ran my car today, best time i ran was 13.35 at 108mph. 60ft was 2.23. keep in mind that i am still running shit tires which i will be replacing very very soon. had a look today, one tire is TRIANGLE, and other is DIAMONDBACK brand? wtf.

Funny enough, my mate ran his 180 sx, best he got was 13.1...ran 13.4 all day. He let me have a go in it, i ran 12.75, 60ft was 1.89. Beginners luck i guess.

Nice time mate considering. Hahaha different tyre brands on each side, thats not a good start. Get that 60' under 2.0 seconds and you have yourself a 12 without altering your power.

Man this guy is awesome, I've been treated with a couple of funny threads!!

Seriously though, what do you do when people are so stubborn, over defensive and so self righteous and sound like a prick to people trying to help him?

What do you do with answers like " I already know" or " no you are wrong" when they are the one asking for help?

Some established fact:

He loved the Mine's ecu and advocated others not to go the ecu+tuner option in his other threads/posts, he even had guys thanking him for providing such a good(cheap, they are cheap for a reason) option.

He has now come around and realised that the ecu+tuner is a better option.

This happened after ~4 pages in this thread. In the mean time, ppl tried to help him even though they obviously have no obligation to do in the first place. He shot them down when he was meant to be grateful, courteous and show people respect.

I think you could benefit from learning some manners when you are asking people to help you, have an open mind otherwise you will never learn anything fast.

I haven't read his other threads, but I think he's got a raw deal in this one.

He asked a simple question and got a stupid answer IMO.

He never actually asked about his ECU. That was brought up by someone else, even tho the OP pleaded for people to forget about the ECU and answer his original question.

And while it might not be ideal, AFAIK a Mines ECU is more or less a modified factory ECU which to me would mean it would be as good as, if not better than, protecting your engine as a standard ECU (assuming a few mods have been made).

And "safe" AFRs is a pretty good start when it comes to making sure your engine is going to be ok. Again, not perfect, but I doubt it would be any worse than a stock ECU.

I've got Triangles...they are awesome!

(Ok, so you can't see the dumbass look on my face right now).

Actually they aren't super bad, especially for a cheapo tyre. Apparently they are a no-name Bridgestone tyre.

I know I swear benaraby has some issues with its timing equipment.

A touch up tune gaining 7mph his huge really lol!

I too think benaraby has some issues. A stocko S2000 pulled an 11.2 when I was there lol

you need to head out to willowbank in winter. gets friggin cold. my mate took his ceffy there on satuday night. stock rb25, microguess, stock turbo @ about 14psi. he's making 212kw and ran 13.2 @ 107mph. still waiting to hear 60ft time, but i'm guessing it won't be that great because his ceffy is setup for drift (has stiff coilovers)

[l0WRB]

i ran faster times at willowbank in summer then i did in winter at willowbank HRMM lol

Dont want to sound like a prick, but i never asked ECU question. I wrote in bold letters in my first post asking question about unbolting exhaust, that's all i was asking for.

What do you do with answers like " I already know" or " no you are wrong" when they are the one asking for help?

I ran standard ecu, ran PFC, and am running my second MINES ecu.

Your not wrong, i do love it.

I never asked for help in regards to ECU nor a tune. I did PM STATUS to find out more about NISTUNE. When i need help, i ask.

courteous and show people respect.

"must be on crack"-call the respect?

I think you could benefit from learning some manners when you are asking people to help you, have an open mind otherwise you will never learn anything fast.

Never asked about FMIC and ECU question, but i still took on board what people said and they changed my mind, in the end i opted to go for new tires, FMIC and ECU, even tho i never asked for that.

Definitely new tires, and good ones that's for sure. Ill also get FMIC asap. I agree, if i can improve the 60' time, ill get close to 13 with cooler and tires, we will see how i go.

If anyone has a FMIC for sale, im looking. =)

I got two different brand tires at the back. So im unable to decide which one is worse out of the two lol

..considering you have had police issues in the past, turn flow is the only way well worth the money
