welcome to the country. what area in aus u in, if you wanna meet some people have a look in the states section and get to know a more local crowd

Am down in Perth, flip lovely down here. Do have one question for you guys, how on earth do you cope with the 60km/h speed limit, is driving me absolutely nuts.

Soon guys, soon. Well am new to Aus and the whole V8 thing is cool, new to me as back home the "in cars" are astras, golfs etc.... (Sad i know)

But have always wanted a Skyline, ever since i saw the one tested on Top Gear, would love an R33 GTR, would LOVE the R34 but im guessing thats a bit out of my price range. What sort of power/speed/price does the R33 go for? You will prob laugh if you knew what car i drove.

My accent is alright, originally from the UK so its not the most South African you can get, get some real bad ones.

so what did you used to drive?

kia , echo, barina, VW bug? haha :lol:

and you dont want a R33, they are whales.. you want the R32 :)

(waits for flames from the R33 owners)

LOL well i had an awesome little car. Was an Opel Corsa, sortof like your Holden Barina but was the sport model, branches, freeflow etc.... Even dragged a Subaru Forester 2.5 which i know is prob not a big deal but for a 1.6 i was impressed :)

R32, u say they the one to go for? What sort of price can you pick one up for?

Thanks guys. Slim that is an awesome looking car mate. Is there anywhere around where you actually get to give it some stick!!!!!!!!!!!

cheers :)

.. and there are a few tracks to go to..

But it never gets hammered on the public streets..cos.. thats.. illegal.. so.. I ..never..do that.. heh..heh..heh..

    • Give it 40psi and send it to the moon
    • I suspect 550s are on the large side for happy operation with a stock/Nistune RB20 ECU. The Hitachi ECU doesn't love short pulse width operation, and the RB20 doesn't need much fuel at idle. Big injectors can be unpleasant. This could be contributing.
    • Yeah, I still don't know why the idle speed control can't catch the falling RPMs. In the Consult logs I see the AAC duty cycle rising, but suddenly it goes lean and the engine stalls. Anyways, the relevance here is the DW 550cc injectors are probably the same. So if OP has similar issues I would be tempted to finger those injectors as problematic for whatever reason vs the ECU failing for some reason.
    • Yeah, sort of blurring two different things together, aren't we? I just meant O2 feedback closed loop. I used to have a 0-1V LCD meter on my dash, wired directly to the O2 sensor signal. So you could easily see what it was doing. Normal running it would flick back and forth nicely. Slow down to an idle and it would keep flicking, as the ECU tried to servo to maintain stoich, but it would slow down as each swing happened until it would stay at one end of the scale. As I said above, the sensor heater is not enough to keep it hot enough when there is also little heat in the exhaust flow. Give it a blip and it would start swinging again, then peter out again. Meanwhile, idle speed control would run just fine, because unrelated.
    • It's not even O2 feedback, it's just simply when the ECU sees the closed TPS signal for whatever reason the idle will start steadily dropping until the engine dies. With the TPS adjusted to not trigger closed TPS it will idle at some ridiculously high RPM and something like 6 degrees of timing. In the absence of getting eyes on it personally and a lot of quality time doing diagnostics I couldn't tell you what the real problem was but it was interesting nonetheless
