Vic Wasteland Thread

inb4 it's your own money fgts...if you got buggerall or a bill then you paid buggerall tax or have a terrible accountant. Can earn 50k a year and get a 20k tax return if you want the ATO to hang onto it for you til tax time.

Those with less of a return are generally better off because, if they were clever and put their extra monies into interest accounts or wise investments, they made gains instead of the government getting rich off your shit. They technically made ~$90 off Leighs tax return.

And never plan your finances/bills/expenses around getting a good return...unless you can properly plan the return...in which case you probably don't need an accountant to do it for you.

the skyline had a split vac line to the gate, stuck it on a dyno and it maxed out the dynos map sensor and my boost gauge. so it was somewhere north of 42 psi, the ECU pulled so much timing and added so much fuel it was shooting droplets of fuel unburnt out the exhaust and all over the wall along with a diesel like black cloud, dropped 100kw too for a mere 290kw run.

I had a similar issue a couple of years ago, wastegate line popped off and it ran 3bar+ for a few days (no idea how much as that was the sensor's limit.) It caused the head bolts to stretch and split the head gasket. Still no det, just masses of torque.

hm.

yeah i get what you mean, but the climate in vic is such that, driving a skyline means auto pull over the moment a cop spots you. probably not too worth it to be wasting cash modifying only to return to stock.

then again, might have something to do with me driving a yellow skyline.

    • That is typical (for a rb at least) with a medium to large turbo, noting the format of the graph is probably misleading what you see a little (half portrait width but full height, in landscape it would look quite different) Basically until it hits target boost the torque curve is rising steeply, when that is 4000+ rpm it is not great to drive since almost all of your life is between 1,000 and 3,000 rpm. Once you hit target boost the wastegate opens and torque stops rising so quickly. From there the shape of the curve depends mostly on the cams and where they have a peak vs the rev limiter
    • Last of the maintenance items for now....not sure why but the drivers side window switch had heaps of wear on the right front and right rear switches Unfortunately, unlike earlier Skylines the controls are bolted to the door trim from the inside. So....off the with door trim. There are bolts or screws: Behind the door handle cover, pop it off from the handle side Under the rubber trim at the bottom of the door pull (also just pops up) Behind the courtesy light at the bottom. Other than that, just window down then pop off the usual selection of push in clips around the perimeter and the trim lifts up Interesting that they have a bolt on cover instead of the old school plastic held on by goop....I guess they prioritised sound levels over price Then, 2 screws and 2 plugs to replace the switch (looks identical to the Fuga/Q70 one incidentally) and put it all back together. Also much better
    • ok I understand, but the majority of turbo vehicles lose torque, or have a flat torque curve after the spool.  hence my initial misunderstanding. I didn't think this type of curve was possible  
    • It is completely normal. Your original understanding is what was wrong, not what you see in the charts.
    • made with turbo and tuned by (hypergear)
