    02 sensor??

    mine did that when it died

    I dont think so. O2 sensor died a while back. Wasn't drivable off boost, semi drivable a lot a spluttering all the time. She drives fine on and off boost until the cylinders start to flood and foul the plugs and you can hear the mixture not igniting. You can keep driving *grits teeth* until you just cant accelerate due to fuel not being able to ignite in cylinders. Wait a few hours, fuel evaporates and you can drive until it happens again. Maybe it's starting to go?

    =(

    hope the beast lives.

    No worries Alvin, she only gets stronger. Booked back in for retune. For some reason ecu gone haywire throwing fuel in motor at full ball and spark plugs not able to burn mix, flooding cylinders, fouling plugs etc. Wierd since tuned by Paul at Chasers, to be slightly lean (for my protection, stock motor) Damn no AFM, probably would be ok with one. Done bugger all driving between ecu mapping and clutch going the next day to getting r34 box, clutch, tailshaft, brakes n suspension done. Like I said in the thread earlier I 'borrowed' the car back from my mech for the day. Since almost no driving, blocking of filters, new sensors etc cant work out for the life of me why the ecu wants to run the injectors full throttle. Anyways car almost finished for this stage so will reliable and attending more events, more often :)

    Great day...

    I got a little sun kissed... ...But that's usually a given on these things...

    I didn't mind the slower driving on the way down... ...I'm usually at the back because I'm a slower car than most of you guys... ...But on the way back there were heaps of options for slower cars to turn out but they didn't...

    Yeah like me laith, when I was tryin but couldnt get her past 104/105. Sorry if I held anyone up on the way home since I couldn't keep up.

    Thanks guys, this was a great run except for my car filling cyliners will fuel and cutting out at mt. morrioc. Thanks Henry I got home at 1.45am after I changed 4 out of 6 spark plugs I could get to with limited tools. Only got me 15kms down the prinny before I couldnt accelerate any further. Then I got a tow home for $225. ECU need a retune or it wouldnt be throwing so much fuel in the engine, but car has been almost stagnant for the last year while getting drivetrain, suspension & brake upgrades. Most of the time waiting for a good r34t box. I've had limited driving in the 'hybrid whatever you want to call it R31 chassis', but it felt natural driving around the GOR until my cylinders flooded (got a little ass wiggly but driving a almost new car (to me) everytime I drive it is a good learning curve. Hopefully I can get a cheap retune from 'Paul' from chasers west melb. who tuned it last. After he tuned it last, it was a f**k*n beast. This was a great cruise for the R31 for as long as I could keep up. Look forward to many other events, since the car is almost finished besides dohc etc, I will be able to attend more events, makes it worth it for all the membership I've paid and for whatever reason my car has not been able to run. So hopefullly I can attend most events from now on. Thanks for listening to my rant, whoever has got this far. You're a great bunch of people and hope to attend more efents with you guy's (no offense to the ladies) shortly. Cheers.

    Unfortunately I didn't do anything. Took her for a long freeway drive before work this morning. She spluttered a few times yesterday, like I said I think it was old fuel, and lack of it. I filled the tank & went home, spluttered once. Thought I would leave it for petrol to settle & take for a good run this morning. After not missing a beat all run, exiting ring road @ edgars to go to work, bloody thing wouldn't down gear & couldn't feel friction point of clutch engaging. So sat @ light pole pos & pissed alot of ignorant pricks off, who could not see that I had my hazards on (checked and both indicators working, ppl just fkn blind), until getting towed back home. I guess 1 year old (hardly abused, in v.good condition) exedy hd clutches can't handle 240rwkw

    Hey Kris, got the 31 back today. New turbo spools @ just under 4k rpm, the lag is not as bad as I thought. Pulls pretty damned hard from my short restricted experience today. Only tuned to 240rwkw, coz the clutch slips with any more. Didnt get a new clutch at the moment (only had the other one just over a year, havent punished it badly either) as I also need to get 25 gearbox & sort out something with tailshaft. The extra power makes the condition of these so much more obvious. I'm happy with it at the moment. If the lag gets to be too much of an issue, I'll put a smaller one in and save this for a dohc motor.

    240rwkw, with 1/4 tank or less of 2 month old petrol (about 1/4 tank when it was towed in for work). Rang me 2day 2 ask what petrol I normally use 2 fill up. Maybe that has something 2 do with it also. There is a rattle from tailshaft (which I already knew about, could only just feel it periodically beforehand) or box (possibly does, doesnt feel the best always, just need it to hold up a little longer).

    What should I do about the tailshaft? Should I go single piece .... or single piece after I no longer daily it, which I will be for a few months after getting her back...or stick with 2-piece?
