    If your ever around dandenong , I can happily take you for a spin. Yeah Xr6t's and v8's cruise nicely at those rpm but with an rb25 the closest you'll get to that will be a z33 6spd box, will need bulk $ to do that. Could always just put an ls1 with t56 in it, lol.

    Ok at 1450 you are around the same weight as an r33 gtst. As a compromise ratio for street and track I would recommend 4.11 will be good at everything but great at nothing, lol. My own car runs a r33 highflow turbo, full boost by 3500rpm, 4.11 gears, weighs 1420kg, I daily drive it during the week and circuit race it whenever I can. On the street it's almost perfect. On the circuit, I wish it had 4.3 so I could hold 3rd gear around slower corners, I've thought about doing it but have decided to leave the 411 as a compromise. Top speed is probably somewhere around 260. I've had it up to 230 at sandown at roughly 6.5k. You should probably go for a ride in someone's r33 and see what stock gearing feels like. Where are you located?

    @hjtrbo what car is all this in and how much is it expected to weigh? What exactly is the highflow turbo? Hypergear?

    Stock 4.11 with rb25 5speed will sit at close to 3000 rpm at 110 km/h. If you're going to be doing a lot of street driving , I would stay with the 4.11, if drag racing , a higher number, for highway cruiser go lower . Do you already have the 3.89 and are you using rb25 gear bag?

    I tried that and failed miserably. Ended up wrecking the valve. I could adjust the valve manually still but the ECU had no control over it. Funnily my car idled fantastic with the valve in that state, could even idle smoothly at 600 rpm, just wouldn't increase revs for AC and cold start. It was summer time so cold starts where still ok. Not sure how it would go in winter. I ended up replacing it with a 2nd hand valve and idle quality went back to being slightly erratic. I believe you are right and these valves can play a massive part in idle quality.

    If that's the case and your not after a pro finish, just do the 2 pak spray cans.

    It would cost you more than what it would to get a pro job done and you still wouldn't achieve a pro finish. May as well go to a panel shop. Any more than 300 is a bit rich if the boot is straight and in decent condition imo.

    New tyres, or your gonna be disappointed again.. I know the Dan in you wants to go quicker with what you've got first but you'll just be making yourself think your changes haven't been successful. You must fight the Dan within on this one and buy some new rubber.

    Might be 6 years too late. The date on that graph says 2011, lol.

    New tyres for sure then and see if it continues to understeer. Take stock swaybar along and change it if need be. Its hard to determine what has done what when you've made so many changes at once but new tyres will def show you if its been an improvement and how much. If it feels better it probably is.

    Ouch, did the turbo survive that?

    No, that would just give it a higher pressure threshold and boiling point.

    As it was the first time you've driven the car for a long time, maybe you just needed the seat time and you'll go quicker next time. New tyres, even same size/type will make you go quicker for sure, they look pretty shagged. Only you know if the changes helped. Did the car feel better than before once you got used to the new setup? Could probably soften the front swaybar if it's adjustable and not at full soft already. Personally, I would just drive it again before judging it.

    For me, it's been just as good in practice as it has been on paper. As far as the tuner, you'd want to have confidence in a tuner doing anything to your car even if it's not e85 related. Since going e85, ive had no issues to speak of. I run a tank of 98 every 3-4 months, followed by a change of fuel filter. Has worked well so far. I also drive my car daily, so the fuel never gets enough time to absorb water and turn things to shit. Knock on wood that by saying that i wont be in the gregging it(tm) club.

    Well then, your still running too rich. Approx 20ltr/h. I noticed in an earlier post you said the car runs between 69-73 degrees. Its possible that your thermostat is stuck open and not allowing the engine to get to full temp which I would expect to be 85+. The ecu could still be in enrichment mode at the temps you're at. Just a thought.

    You really need to take note and work out the litres per hundred to work out if the economy really is bad or you have an over enthusiastic low fuel light. For example in my skyline at the empty line I still have 25 litres in the tank which is more than 1/3 of its total capacity.
  19. admS15
    I reckon they should be able to take that for a while longer. There only a month or two old aren't they. Maybe start a new thread about it and see if others that have experienced similar can steer you in the right direction of the cause. Cheers.

    Ive noticed with the notifications, if you log out and then back in on the app it's like it resets itself and you start getting them again.

    300km thank you very much. No cold start issues here, even on freezing cold mornings. Getting the cold start crank and post crank settings right is the key to cold starts on e85. Flex fuel = best of both worlds.
  22. admS15
    I must agree since i also have a highflow. aka - best skyline turbo ever, lol.

    When you pulled the original factory bushes out, what condition where they in?

    How many litres did it take to refill the tank?
